Visa or Exit permit for child born in India.

Hi all!!!

many anxious parent are after such small piece of information, here you will find everything explained.

this information is correct as of 21st july 2011. this process is for all foreign passport holder infants and childrens, British, USA, Canada, Europ, AUS, NZ etc.


once you have foreign passport all process starts from that point before that you DO NOT NEED TO WORRY AT ALL.

once you have received passport of child you have 14days to do this process WHAT IF you CAN NOT????? DONT WORRY ALL YOU HAVE TO DO PAY LATE FEES!, SO PLEASE DONT PANIC.
steps,

1> once you get passport you need to approach MHA new delhi for approval for exit permit or visa.

ministry of home affairs, jaisalmer house
26 mansingh road, new delhi (from new delhi station it coast 40rs by auto, and from IGI airport its 120rs by auto)

**********(if you are living in mumbai, kolkata, banglore, chennai, amritsar and delhi you dont need to go to new delhi MHA. your local FRRO can issue you exit permit or visa, read more for list of documents!!!)******

unfortunately for the rest of indian people, they have to approach new delhi MHA first, as your local FRO or police commissionaire office dont have authority to issue you exit permit or visa without prior consent from MHA new delhi.

going to MHA new delhi is only few hours task but you have to be there at right time. THEY ONLY ACCEPT APPLICATION DURING 9AM TO 12 NOON, MONDAY TO FIRDAY ONLY)

you have to fill online form for (X) visa (( X visa is dependent visa)) take print out of your online form in duplicate (2 copy, 2 set of documents)

in morning when you first reach there you will be asked to sit in one room near entrance where you have to show your application & original passports and they will give you one token number. after they check all docs they give you one visitor pass for that day with that pass and all your documents you have to go to main building which is just few steps apart.

:::::::::::::MOST IMPORTANT PART DOCUMENTS::::::::::::::

1> ONLINE VISA FORM FOR (X) VISA-- FILLED FORM --- 2 COPY ////CHILD PASSPORT SIZE PHOTO 2 COPY

2> ORIGINAL CHILD PASSPORT.

3> ORIGINAL PASSPORT OF FATHER & MOTHER.

****IF NONE OF THE PARENTS CAN VISIT OFFICE YOU NEED TO DO AFFIDAVIT FOR AUTHORIZATION TO OTHER PERSON AND CONSENT LETTER OF BOTH PARENTS********** (MUST!!)

4> CHILD BIRTH CERTIFICATE ORIGINAL

5> RESIDENTIAL PROOF IN INDIA OF ONE OF THE PARENTS LIKE LIGHT BILL, TELEPHONE BILL, DRIVER'S LICENSE OF INIDA, PAN CARD WITH ALLOTMENT LETTER (IF YOU DONT HAVE LIGHT OR ELECTRICITY BILL ON YOUR NAME ITS OK YOU CAN PROVIDE YOUR FATHER OR RELATIVE WITH WHOM YOU ARE LIVING)

*****(IF YOU LIVING WITH YOUR FATHER OR OTHER RELATIVE AND PROVIDE THEIR RESIDENTIAL PROOF THEN YOU HAVE TO PROVIDE THEIR ANY FORM OF ID LIKE DRIVER'S LICENSE, PAN CAR, VOTER CARD OR PASSPORT WHICH SHOWS THEIR RESIDENTIAL ADDRESS))

6> YOUR MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE

7> LETTER FROM CONSULATE IF YOU RECEIVED ANY (NOT COMPULSORY)

8> HOSPITAL DISCHARGE RECORD OF MOTHER OR LETTER FROM HOSPITAL THAT YOUR CHILD WAS BORN THERE AT SUCH AND SUCH TIME AND DATE (NOT COMPULSORY)

9> TRAVEL TICKET IF YOU INTENT TO FLY OUT OF INDIA ON SHORT PERIOD ( DOES NOT HAVE TO BE CONFIRM TICKET, JUST ANY TICKET WHICH SHOWS CHILD AND MOTHER NAME)

********** I UNDERSTAND THAT ITS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO PROVIDE ALL DOCUMENTS BUT 1 TO 6 YOU HAVE TO HAVE THOSE DOCUMENTS ****************

just before last week there was process that after receiving all documents and form they provide envelop at 5pm that you have to take it to your local FRO or police commissionaire office THAT HAS BEEN CHANGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*******YOU DONT HAVE TO WAIT ALL DAY, THEY NOW FAX OR EMAIL TO YOU LOCAL FRO OR POLICE COMMISSIONAIRE OFFICE, SO ONCE YOU SUBMIT THAT YOU ARE ALL FREE TO GO HOME!!!!!!


with that authorization letter faxed or emailed to your local FRO or police commissionaire office, take same set of documents to your local FRO or police commissionaire office & pay required fees. You are done!!! wait 2-3 days depending on how busy your local office is. they will issue you visa or exit permit.


I HOPE YOU HAVE GOT WHAT INFORMATION YOU WANTED, BUT I KINDLY ASKED YOU SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE OR AT LEAST SAY THAT THIS GUIDE HELPED YOU OR NOT. YOUR SHARED EXPERIENCE WILL HELP OTHERS!!

I AM SURE YOU WILL SPARE 2 MINS TO POST YOUR EXPERIENCE OR REPLY

Best of luck!!!

Great Post.

Hope this gets stickied.

Thanks for this useful information.
Wondering how we can club passport application and
MHA work on same day. Australia insist for personal
interview for firt passport with one of the parents

Also it would be helpful if you could kindly give the
link to exit visa application form

U need passport of child before going to mha, so same day imposible.

Try mha website they have just made chage, if cant find info on website call thm or go with all documents and original passport, and ask for forms from them. currently they have employed outside staff for about 2-3 weeks to assist people who cant find form online. They will help u fill form online.

****** this outside or out sourced people sit in main building they are employed on contract for about 2-3 weeks only.

Important tip
Take fax number of yr local FRO or police comnr office mostly they wont have it and vill ask u. It might delay your process.

Thank you soooo much for this important information and practical tips right from Auto Charge to FRO phone number collection. Deeply apreciate it

I visited Delhi Australian High Commision since they insist for
personal interview for the first passport for the child by
one of the parents. So i visted MHA since i had enough time.

The follwing are some of the feed backs from them

1.The appintment system they just changing to online
http://passport.gov.in/vfc/onlineAppointment.jsp is the url

2.They suggested us to apply for x visa which is one multiple entry visa instead of exit visa since we are eligibile to apply for child as oci parents. I am not sure if this is possible for pio or others.

They suggested to fill everything online and bring two hardcopies

3. One of our childs Australian passport expired. Changing the oci visa stamp to new passport may take 1 month. This i am posting as general info

i am happy that my experience helped you, and also thank you for your input it will help some one for sure.

thanks mate

Work only on IE not on firefox. IE also get error but
finally got online appointment

Not true: It must be either your computer or your OS.

Do you know if the marriage certificate needs to be the original or if a scanned copy is good enough?
Thanks for the helpful information.

and, what about the Indian Parent child born abroad?

Does need to apply for Indian Passport?
any affidavit needed? as the father is in India?
and then how to come back to India? I mean any kind of paper?

Do not know what your question is about ? A child born to Indian parents ? If you explain in detail, it would be helpful.

Good to see this working firefox. Just wanted to share the story behind it

Since it was not working i tried to explore who developed this web site. From the home page i found it is developed by
http://indiaimage.nic.in/

After three phone calls to different numbers provided at the reception, i finally got the person responsible for this website development. We checked together online and he understood the issues and he promised to correct it soon for firefox. He was very positive and i am glad he attended it so quickly. God Bless

Kind Regards,

Hi,

I have two more doubts


1. About Online Visa Form

1> ONLINE VISA FORM FOR (X) VISA-- FILLED FORM --- 2 COPY ////CHILD PASSPORT SIZE PHOTO 2 COPY

Which is the link shows ONLINE VISA FORM. Kindly provide the URL

2. Do we need to take the copies of the list of documents mentioned or just originals are sufficient. If copies needed; need them to get certified?

Original and two copies of each document no need to certifi they will check there.

About link its same as visa link there is no seprate link for X visa link.
