Q.1048 Get exit visa - OCI for

new born child in India to

foreign parents

Question: http://nriinformation.com/faq1/question7.htm Please refer to above link. Our situation is similar. Is your answer still valid or have the rules changed (there is no date on the answer). We live in Bangalore. Can the whole thing be handled through FRRO Bangalore or do we have to go to Delhi FRRO first compulsorily? Also is the child’s Indian Birth certificate good enough to get the child an OCI? Or will other documents be needed. We are both OCIs ourselves. While I was born in India and held an Indian passport at some point in time, my wife was born abroad and never held an Indian passport. Her parents were Indian citizens at some point in time but have passed away and there is no way to get their old Indian passports now Thanks, Raj Answer: Your best option would be to first contact the Bangalore [Bengaluru] FRRO office for latest information and guidance. Their current address is : 'A' Block, TTMC, BMTC Bus Stand Building, 5th Floor, K.H. Road, Shantinagar. Their telephone number is: Phone: 80 2221 8183. Many things can now also be done using FRRO online services. Regarding OCI for your child, the birth place of your wife not being India should not make a difference. OCI rules have been significantly relaxed over time. Questions are numbered in an ascending order. The link you refer to is for Question number 7. Question 927 also relates to the same topic with more information.
