Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

VISA Extension India
1. When should I apply for a visa extension?
It is highly recommended to apply for a visa extension at least 60 days before your current visa or residential permit expires to allow sufficient time for processing.
2. Is it guaranteed that my Business VISA can be converted to an Employment VISA?
No, the conversion is not guaranteed. It is subject to the discretion of the FRRO and depends on several factors, including the applicant's eligibility for the Employment VISA and a strong justification from the employer.
3. What happens if my visa expires while the extension application is pending?
If you have filed for an extension before the expiry of your visa, you can usually continue to stay in India on a provisional basis. We help you obtain the necessary acknowledgment to ensure your stay remains legal.
4. Can I travel outside India while my extension or conversion is in process?
It is generally advisable not to travel outside India while an extension or conversion application is pending with the FRRO, as it can complicate the process.
