PIO card - returning to India within a month
PIO card - returning to India within a month
hi, I am a canadian citizen with PIO card. I came back from India after 8 months on July 24, 2012. Now I need to go back to India within a month probably Aug 24, 2012 for 1 month. Do I need to worry about waiting period of 60 days before I can return to India? or is it ok for me to go?
thanks
thanks

You need not worry. The 2 month out rule applies only to Tourist Visas.
PIO's have no restriction on exit/entry.

Somewhere on your card it says that it gives you visa-free right to enter India. Apart from restrictions on a very small number of activiries, you may come, go, work, study ... as you wish and when you wish.

Not uniformly applied. Registration not relevant to the question. As the OP is out of India, we can assume that either he did, or he got away with not doing so. This is not going to impact his return
This is a straightforward Question: There is a 2-month-wait restriction on re-entering India on a tourist visa. Does this apply to any other visa.PIO/OCI?
straightforward Answer: No.
