Q25. How to apply for OCI second time after renouncing OCI

Question: Can a person reapply for O.C.I after renouncing it ? (point 42 of you f.a.q titled 'OCI' frequently asked questions) If so, what is involved? Best Regards, Sumit.

Answer: OCI application form includes a Question: "Have you/any member of your family applied for OCI registration earlier? Yes/No - If yes, give details (Reference No., when and where applied and what was the outcome)” Anyone who has renounced OCI and reapplies will I assume fill this part clearly stating they had renounced OCI in the past and the decision whether to grant OCI again will depend on the government authorities. If you have renounced OCI and would like to share the reasoning behind such a move with other readers of this website, do email us.
