OCI

Are you an Indian-origin foreign national looking to apply for an OCI card? Volumaax offers comprehensive OCI card services—including fresh OCI applications, reissue of OCI cards, and document assistance for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs) around the world. The Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) card is a lifelong visa that allows holders to visit India without restrictions, and our team at Volumaax makes the application process smooth and error-free.

What is an OCI Card?

The Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) card is a special status granted by the Government of India to persons of Indian origin who are citizens of foreign countries (except Pakistan and Bangladesh). OCI cardholders enjoy multiple benefits, including lifelong visa-free entry into India, no requirement to register with the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO), and the ability to work and study in India without restrictions.

Who is Eligible for an OCI card?

  •        Foreign nationals who were citizens of India on or after 26th January 1950
  •        Persons who were eligible to become Indian citizens on 26th January 1950
  •        Children and grandchildren of eligible persons
  •        Minor children whose both parents are Indian citizens or one parent is an OCI cardholder
  •        Spouse of an Indian citizen or OCI cardholder (subject to 2 years of marriage)

OCI Card Services Offered by Volumaax

Fresh OCI Card Application

Applying for a fresh OCI card requires precise documentation and online submission through the OCI Portal. Our Volumaax OCI card services team guides you through every step — from filling the OCI application form to compiling supporting documents and scheduling your appointment at the Indian Embassy or Consulate.

OCI Card Reissue Services

Your OCI card needs to be reissued every time you get a new passport (until the age of 20) and once after the age of 50. Volumaax simplifies OCI card reissue with a complete checklist of updated documents and seamless online submission support.

PIO to OCI Conversion

The Government of India has discontinued the PIO card and merged it with the OCI scheme. Volumaax helps existing PIO cardholders convert to OCI card efficiently with proper documentation and compliance.

Documents Required for OCI Card Application

  •        Proof of Indian origin (old Indian passport or parents'/grandparents' Indian passport)
  •        Current foreign passport (valid)
  •        Renunciation certificate or foreign citizenship certificate
  •        Birth certificate
  •        Marriage certificate (if applying as a spouse)
  •        Passport-size photographs as per specifications
  •        Proof of address in the country of residence

Benefits of OCI Card

  •        Lifelong multiple-entry, multi-purpose visa to India
  •        No requirement for FRRO/FRO registration for any length of stay in India
  •        Parity with NRIs in economic, financial, and educational fields
  •        Eligible to work in India without restrictions

FAQ 

1. How long does it take to get an OCI card?

OCI card processing typically takes 30–120 days depending on the applicant's country of residence and the Indian Embassy workload. Volumaax helps you avoid delays caused by documentation errors.

2. Is the OCI card the same as dual citizenship?

No. OCI is not citizenship. OCI cardholders cannot vote in Indian elections, hold Indian government jobs, or acquire agricultural land in India. However, it offers visa-free access and near-parity rights.

3. Can OCI cardholders stay in India permanently?

Yes. OCI cardholders can stay in India indefinitely without any visa restriction or the need to register with FRRO.
