Having The Indian OCI Is No More A Challenging Task!

As per the Indian constitution, the individual can’t hold Indian and foreign visa simultaneously. The scheme was introduced for the necessity of the “dual citizenship” particularly from the Diaspora in North America. To overcome these issues, India’s overseas citizenship was introduced by amending the citizenship act. As per this act, it is possible to have the overseas citizen of India for anyone. However, they should be a person of Indian origin on 26th January 1950 or after.
