Hi Remy,
you keep saying that - where's your evidence? AndyD 8-)# Reference your above question,......... To register, visa has to be valid for more than 6 months and you have to register with the FRO/FRRO within 14 days of arrival in India. http://www.hcilondon.net/visa/register-fro-frro.html Hope this helps, Remy |

like I keep saying - FRO and FEMA are not the same thing - that's FRO, and as I said to noni that applies completely regardless of any intention you may or may not have to buy property.
AndyD 8-0# I have been visiting Goa sinc 1990 and have never known of anyone who achieved this and for that reason the 5 year x visa became such a sought after commodity..........but if you can prove me wrong on this i will gladly eat humble pie. Remy |

Andy's distinction between FEMA residency and FRO residency is a new twist in the rich tapestry for me! (incidentally i was never given/didn't know about being isssued a pink book by the FRO but was only given 2 x A4 pages (completed in triplicate) titled 'Residential permit' inc' my photo etc. Anyway as we all know by now the implementation of these rules and regs is arbitrary/open to interpretation it seems in practice.

Ah! but how could I prove you wrong since there is no definitive test of whether someone has 'achieved' residency under FEMA rules? AndyD 8-)# Remy |

Remy I did indeed achieve residency as far as all the indian officials i have come across so far are concerned. However the next official i meet my well turn around and say i was not resident. The requirement under FEMA as i understand it is for the FN to prove residency to any authority that requires them to do so. That is the nightmare situation that property owning FNs in goa are now in. regards douglas |
