I went to london high commission website yesterday, they have stated that I have to surrender my old Indian passport with the fee of 90 pounds before applying for OCI card. Is that true? Last year when I sent my British passport for long visa, I also sent my Indian passport which they stamped saying "British nationality acquired, Passport cancelled".
You will get OCI in india quicker, i am not sure but there are facilitate offices that will give you all details and verify your documentsAllview wrote:Hello,
I am a UK citizen and moving to India permanantly. I wish to apply for my OCI from India when I reach there. I am in London at the moment. I had to surrender my Indian passport here to get Indian visa.
Could someone one help me explaining what documents I need to send to OCI office in India when I am there? Also, could you tell me what other important things to know about it?
