Although India does not permit dual citizenship, there is a 3-month waiver to surrender a person's Indian passport after acquiring foreign citizenship, NOT after acquiring a foreign passport.
If the British citizenship registration certificate arrives just a couple of weeks before the minor is scheduled to travel, we intend to do the following steps in the below sequential order:
- Submit an application for the child's British passport
- Use their current Indian passport to travel to India for 2 months while the British passport application is pending with the HMPO
- Use their current Indian passport to travel to India for 2 months (the minor shall be accompanied by my wife)
- Return to the UK in early 2023, and apply for their surrender certificate and OCI
Is there any issue with the above plan?
