That's interesting!
- Have you used / travelled with the entry visa?
Have used it many times in the past - no problems
- How long did it take to receive your visa?
Less than 10 working days (for me by post)Applying in person will be more faster.
- Was the Entry Visa applied for yourself alone or a family?
- I believe it is valid for 6 months. How do you renew it if necessary?
Nearest FRRO valid for 6 months from date of issue and is Multiple entry.
Thanks.

I got mine for five years, which is the maximum length you can apply for.

That is correct. I want to travel in the next 5 weeks and OCI takes anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks as it is a two stage process. So I will be applying for both at the same time i.e X visa and OCI.NOG wrote:Interesting to know, however, unless one needs to travel urgently to India, I cannot see any benefit in applying for an entry visa. For the cost, OCI is a much better option in the long run unless I am missing something.
