Hi Benjamin, very informative video. Can you please tell me if my toddler has over stayed for 2 months on indian e-visa, do i need to apply for exit permit or register with FRRO? The portal says, anyone under 16 years age are exempt to register.
Hi Benjamin,am stuck with similar issue , I have to go through a medical surgery and my toddler have to overstay,,so do we need exit permit only when we would we ready to go ? Can u provide some information please
Hello Sir, question please. when you crossed the borders and reapply for the tourist visa in India, how many days it takes to reapply again and how long is the approval process? hope you response please. Thank you
As of Aug 2024, One cannot stay more than 180 days, in a calendar year (multiple entries don't help in this regard). This rule is apart from not being allowed to stay more than 180 days continuously. No matter whether your visa is valid for one year or five years.
Hey Ragu, they give you a date that the exit permit goes for. I think most people are getting August 31 now. It changes. Until they open up international flights we just keep applying and getting new ones. When international flights open then we have 30 days to leave
I got it last week and it expires May 17. Need to apply again. They changed the rules so now you can get one for 30 days after international flights start
Hi! Can I ask, how did you get the 10 year tourist visa? My partner and I are thinking about coming to live in India when covid is over, but we’re unsure about how to get a long term visa! Any help is sooooo appreciated! Thanks so much! Love your videos!
A genuine question please… When you get exit from the country(India), do you have to go back to your home country (I mean where you originally came from), or you can as well fly to another country provided you have the visa to the (other) country?
I am US citizen. I’m trying to get exit permit but on the C form it says I need to proof of residency or bills stuff like that but I live with my family this whole time so how can proof them since I don’t have anything and what should I do ?
I have a tourist visa as well and actually had to leave (and reenter)the country after 180 days which was on the 27th of April. .and I called the frro so many times. First they told me that I should apply for an visa extension. I did so but nothing happened then I called them again and they said that obviously a tourist visa can't be extended. They told if the borders will open in the next week's I should leave and reenter ( to nepal for example. ..) but they didn't tell me about exit permit at all ... :(
Thanks Ben for putting up this extremely helpful video. I didn't even know about the exit visa req ! I've been trying to get this answered n get no reply: I had a visa extension granted w but 2 days before expiry. So I applied for a revised extension. Instead I got a Visa Conversion approved till 10-31. I never heard of a V Conversion before. My question - if I leave India before 10-31 do I still need an Exit Visa?? Logic would indicate No, but this is India. (I may apply for one anyway - what could it hurt?)
I'm not sure my friend! I would think that a visa conversion for 10-31 would be okay but I can't be sure. I have an exit permit and will keep updating mine until I leave
I applied for visa extension yesterday but they deleted my visa extension today and granted registration and exit permit. what is the meaning of this. I have vaild visa till December but my 180 days entry is finishing in july 2020. I want to extend my entry till December 2020. Please tell me something about this. Thanks
Hey Jass, most people get an email saying your application was deleted. Then a few days later they say it was granted, not sure why but it means it worked for you
@Jass Brar Same situation here except my 180-day stay ends in August and 1-year ends in December. What have you done to extend your stay? Was it an exit permit or visa extension? Thanks.
You now have 30 days after international flights start again, if you apply for a visa extension or exit permit. My friends are saying they are being given visa extensions for June 30
I am also stressed about that,mi visa expired for the past 4 years and now I want to get exit permit so I can go back home. I'm so depressed and scared

II applied for Exit Permit for my new born US Citizen son in Delhi through e-frro website, so you said in video you got your exit permit in 4 hours of application submissions? Would it be same for my son? However I didn't get any confirmation email for submitting application online. When did you pay the fee? Would Delhi process would be different than Chennai ?
I usually get an email confirming I've sent it it. Then in a few days I get an email saying it was deleted. Not sure why. Then I get the confirmation between 1 day or a week. It has varied since I made this. There was no fee. Yes, Delhi would be the same. I am not sure about newborn, but you can try. If you are wrong, they will send directions.
This doesn’t work. I’ve been waiting almost 3 days for my permit. Wish it only took 4 hours. Also, the persons at FRRO declined my application the first time because I inverted the last 2 numbers of my passport. Although they had the scanned copy of my passport and could clearly see this was a mistake. All other details were accurate and they just saw fit to decline my app and start the whole process allllllll over again. Nice work FRRO. 😑

Hi Ben, as they have announced that all visas are extended to 30 days on basis of gratis after international flight resumes I extended my visa till July 31st. I have booked a special flight ticket for 25th August from New Delhi to Israel. In my case do I need to apply for the exit permit?
I can't say for sure, but I would apply for it. Then bring a paper copy when I fly. The 30 gratis is for when international flights open and while technically they are open, officially they are not if you gwt my meaning. If I was leaving I would want to show the official I at least tried my best to get an exit permit to show respect but it may be going above amd beyond. Your call tho
There is a resident permit and a c form that you need to submit and you can't submit unless you give both, that's why I put the c form for both and they approved

When I don‘t upload all docs in the first 14 days then I will have to leave anyway after three months & re-entry. Right? (simply with the exit visa) Because I actually am aloud to stay 180 days. Then re-entry with my eVisa (1 y validity) & upload all required docs within the first 14 days of re-entry. Then I can stay long-term in India. Correct? Would I have to do the same again after 1 year? Visa for 1 or more years, if I am not able to register within the first 14 days & upload all required documents then transit let‘s say to Sri Lanka (with an exit permit), re-enter India, register within the first 14 days, all good. (more or less because it simply is a bit of a hassle to upload always all these docs within 14 days) 🤝 🇨🇭
I've never uploaded docs in the first 14 days. I just go in and stay 180 days and leave. If I overstay, like during COVID when I made this, then I applied for an exit permit.
Thank you very helpful, I never thought I’ll find such an explanation
