Yes, good luck - it will be very interesting to see what they say. You may want to show them #14 at http://mha.nic.in/pdfs/ForeigD-PwrdlgtFRROs.pdf

The Official version is:


1) Since RBI don't issue permission the nearest you can get is a letter from the RBI saying they don't give permissions but 'if you are resident as per FEMA then there is general permission .....' (this used to be pretty much a pro-forma - not sure if it still is but there are copies around).

2) if you own recently built property the builder should have given you a copy of the NOC; for old Portuguese property they seem to accept a letter saying that.

3) If you have registered (pre 2007) then fine; if you have applied for registration then use a copy of the Registrar's receipt; otherwise try a [copy of a] Notarised copy of your deeds (good idea to include that anyway).

If you rent/lease then they seem to accept a copy of the lease and a printout of the FEMA FAQ about 5-year leases being OK for FN's.

ALSO they are currently asking for a sight of old passports (presumably as evidence of 'living in India for many years' - check out the MHA website for 'powers delegated to FRO's' which mentions this - maybe copy that as well). I told them (truthfully) that our old passports were in India but gave a summary of visits for the last few years and mentioned that we first visited India in 1973!!

Allow at least 15 working days to process your visa. GOOD LUCK.

P.S. went to register at the FRO in Panjim today - when they asked for a copy of the house deeds I told them they had more copies than I did - so they said hold on that and if we can find it in last year's file we'll use that - gave them last years file ref to help|
