Advice on Indian visa

[Londonabc]

Hello

I have applied for british passport for my six month old son. Me and my husband are Indian passport holders. We need to apply visa for India for him. Was just wondering which visa should we apply for - Tourist or Entry? Is it possible to get entry visa for him as we have not registered his birth with Indian HC?

Entry visa is the best option.

You can register birth within the first year - See http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=99277

Thanks for the advice!

I checked on IHC website though and it clearly specifies the need of a declaration that child does not hold passport of any country while registering the birth of baby as Indian citizen. I have already applied for British passport for my baby.

We are Indian citizens and therefore child is Indian by descent. I hope that criteria makes him eligible for entry visa!
