VERY DISAPPOINTED ONLY ONE YEAR X. AT BIRMINGHAM:thumbdown: Douglas - how will we loose out if we only accept a tourist visa, as this would suit us at the moment? Naturally going for the 5 year x RENEWAL :rofl::rofl: and seeing what we get :eek: why so disappointed? It's an 'X' visa after all; and isn't 'X' supposed to mean eXtensible? AndyD 8-)# |

Andy, this was not for me it was a friend. She lives permanently in Goa, and it will mean an airflight out of there each year to renew.
It will not be extended in Goa, as you are told to go home and extend it. God knows what we will get in October/November. I think we can safely say the 5 year X Visa for FNs is now a thing of the past. Dead in the water. Kaput. Is there anybody out there who has sucessfully renewed theirs? Remy |

The couple you know who got the 5 year one in August 06 probably slipped in there just before the 'wind of change' swept over the visa department, as i believe it was around this time policy changed. Regards, Remy |
Re: GOA - Buyer Beware!
I can't see that it serves any purpose as they already have Residency. Looks like they're clearing the decks for a new visa regime.;) I reckon 30 days on entry (free) and anything more required will have to be qualified.ie, 60 days, 90 days and so on.

Re: GOA - Buyer Beware!
It is a banana republic, and the cabinet are mostly known crooks.:thumbdown:

Re: GOA - Buyer Beware!
Thanks for the update a-f-d and I completely agree with you LG about the Banana Republic!
It will be interesting to hear if there'll be any new directives from RBI following the elections, but i won't hold my breath! |

So just to be on the safe side, we go to say "hullo" and "goodbye" every time we visit the Apartment, because whatever you do :confused: you can't get it right with the authorities. :lightbulb: Can't bring up the scan - is there something "technical" I should do, nor other threads "thumbnails" |
