I have just renewed my BV two weeks ago and no mention of Max 180 Day Stay. I have never had one with that particular stamp on it and to date have had about 7 x 2 year BV's, although I have seen others with it on. On my latest there is a green stamp on it stating Registration NOT required if each stay does not exceed 180 days.

Regards to all

John

no mention of Max 180 Day Stay on our X visas either, just the green stamp stating Registration NOT required if each stay does not exceed 180 days.

John - does your BV say 'tourist visa non extendable' in the fine print?

- 8. I will be going to India for work/employment along with my family. Which visa should I apply for? Would my children be able to study in India?
You must apply for an employment visa along with the requisite documents. Once your visa application is approved, your wife and children may apply for entry visas . Your children will be able to get admission in schools/colleges in India once they have been granted entry visas. Note that you have to undergo mandatory registration formalities at the nearest office of the FRRO/FRO within 14 days of your arrival in India if you are planning to stay in the country for more than 180 days.

but check the US site to make sure it's the same!

Hi Andy,

Friend went to the outsourcing centre in Goswell Road London and only went for a 6 month tourist, as he was only staying until January and then coming back in February staying until May.Person behind the counter said to him try for a 12 month,if it fails you will get a 6 month anyway.5 days later a 12 month multiple entry arrived in the post...! It would seem there is no logic nor reason to how these things are dished out.This is how its always been though, so the new system is the same as the old system-pot luck.
