The central government has ordered to issue lifetime visas for all NRIs with Indian Ancestry.
During his recent trip to the USA, the Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi had assured lifetime visas for all NRIs with Indian Ancestry.
Accordingly, the Home Ministry has released this order to issue lifetime visas to all NRIs with Indian Ancestry.
With this, they can stay in India for unlimited periods. Earlier, there was time limit for up to 15 years.
With this order, they can extend their stay for another 10 years.
At the same time, the government has announced that this order will not apply to NRIS from Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Afghanistan, China, Nepal, and Bhutan.
