Anybody knows how to change the address in residential permit?

Hi,
I have shifted my house. I need to change the address. How could i do it?

Go to the people who issued the permit.

How else?

Go to the FRRO office that you got your Permit from and inform them of change of address with proof i.e. rental agreement etc

2. Is it really necessato do it??

4.Can I apply for conversion of my PIO into OCI here in India so all this registration stuff is done with?/what are the formalities/fees???

Pls.. reply

1. How can I now inform the Goa FRRO about my change in address,is there a postal and/or proxy(authorization) way to do it??

You'll have to go personally. Be prepared to admit your error and foolishness, grovel, etc.

2. Is it really necessato do it??

Yes.

3.Can I apply for a new registration,here in Kolkata without the last registration being produced?

Don't try it. The entry and exit stamps on your passport will tell a different story, then you're screwed.

4.Can I apply for conversion of my PIO into OCI here in India so all this registration stuff is done with?/what are the formalities/fees???

You don't seem to be eligible for OCI.

A few years back I was late (about two months) registering while on an Employment visa for the same reason. There was some noise about it from the Gurgaon FRRO, I paid a fine of around Rs. 4000 (no receipt, of course...) and all was well. Worth avoiding, though.

All in all, PIOs have it pretty good as far as reporting requirements. I haven't lived in India since getting mine, but I'm certainly looking forward to less hassle than with an E visa...

Has anyone tried to register with the FRRO in Kolkata??What is it like?/I called the FRRO here and they said that my 'district' has another FRRO,which , interestingly,does not have a phone number!!I thought these FRROS used to be only one per city!!Now that I have made a little fool of myself ,is it possible to get things done here,may be with some fine...with or without receipt??

Where do you live? It depends on your district jurisdiction. Where did you go? I live in South 24 Parganas, and registered in Alipore, Bhavani Bhavan area without any problems.

How did you manage to resolve this ? My son is a minor and a US citizen. We have resident permit from Hyderabad. We transfered address and hence got papers all in order in B'lore. When leaving B'lore to Delhi we got stamp saying register at FRO Delhi within 14 days. When we went to FRRO Delhi - they laughed and said since he is a minor it is not needed - of course, they did not officially cancel stamp or put it in writing. But we let it be. Now we are in Gurgaon - I applied for a visa extension for him. He is still a minor. When we sent visa extension to FRO Gurgaon - he raised hell. Now he has a letter from us admitting to above error, has visa permit letter with him - has said he will have to contact B'lore and get papers. He has not stamped visa on passport. So essentially we do not know how long he will hold on to this ... Since visa is extended for one year we have applied PIO card which has not come .... Do we approach thru an agency ? Anyone know of one in Gurgaon ?

Don't know about the other stuff, but as noted here:

Children below 16 years of age do not require Registration, on any type of VISA.

Hi Sum,

I am in the same situation. I hope yours is resolved now. How did you go about.

Can't seem to find the answer to this...

When you have an residence permit issued in one city in one state (Pune), and move to another state and city (Rajasthan, Udaipur), what is the procedure to follow?

Should you inform both FRO's or only the one where you are moving towards or the one where your residence permit was issued?

My guess... you have to be registered with the authority where you live

Sannna,

Please post if you find an answer to this.

The person (SUM) made one post, and has not logged in You will have to explain your situation (same as her will not do) if you need feedback.

No worries... will let you know when I find out. Could take a few weeks though.
(I thought I post it in an existing thread rather than opening a new one. :-)
