If we did, we would be earning a pittance compared with the UK, and would most certainly not be economic migrants. We would receive no assistance, benefits, health care or education (not that we get any of those during a legal stay).
No matter how we wangle it, we can never be citizens, or realistically even residents as we stand out a mile. Now........... reverse all that, and ask yourself why the idea of this deposit might have occurred to OUR government. And yes its just an idea, not a plan, a white paper, a green paper, or a bill for consideration. We have open government and free speech and if an idea like this is mooted we get to hear about it. When the BJP/Congress/RSS etc come up with their fascist plans, do we get to hear? And if our concience wishes to offer the usual "other side", please do. As usual these days I will have no problem ignoring it and not responding. . If it were to be, and India chose to retaliate they may just as well just cancel T visas. AndyD |

... anyway isn't this old news? - I'm 90% sure I've read the bond isn't going to be implemented.

Please note - In view of the spread of the Swine Influenza A (H1N1) all passengers traveling to India will be screened at the International Airports in India on their arrival.

Best Regards, Information Service Desk VF Services (UK) Limited I've already discussed what documents they might accept. You can also point them to http://mha.nic.in/pdfs/ForeigD-PwrdlgtFRROs.pdf #14 covers X visas for property owners. If they argue just fill in your form, hand it in with the correct fees, and politely tell them you want it submitted to the High Commission/ Consulate. hth AndyD 8-)₹ |
Re: Visa help.
As per "Goa buyer beware" post #3837 can this evidence be used for a visa application information evidence.

Re: Visa help.
Hi
We went to Birmingham 29th. July. As we have deeds we were also advised from VFS to apply for an Entry Visa for 12 months. We were told that our application was under process (by text) at The High Commission on the 2nd. August. We have not heard nothing since!! Has anybody else applied for an Entry Visa, if so, how long did this take. Thanks :confused: |

For 6 months sure a tourist visa is the easy and cheapest option.For 12month living it gets tedious applying even every yr. And sorry chris I will not entertain these agents.......I`ve been doing my own applications for the past 4 yrs and intend to keep doing so.

Re: Visa help.
Thank you Andy for your reply.
We were advised to request, and we applied for, our Entry Visa to India. After 21 days as we had not heard anything even after we had sent a few emails and had made some recorded phone calls, we decided to return to the Birmingham vfs. to see if there was a problem. We were told that an Entry Visa from the Birmingham vfs office may take 4-5weeks. This may not be a problem had we have been told or of course if you had not intended to travel to France Spain etc. for a short break......without a passport!!!!:eek: We have heard that Hayes London vfs can return visa within 4-5 days:thumbsup::thumbsup: |

Re: Visa help.
Just been to London visa office today to try for Entry visa with all the documentation that has been recommended on the site and they passed us from one officer to another, We have registered deeds etc but in the end we saw the Manager who told us in no uncertain terms that their instructions are that foreigners can only have a tourist visa for 6 months even if you do own a property. They didn't look at the files that we took with us and gave us the option of a refund or a tourist visa. What can You say to that, we had spent enough on getting there from the North so had to accept the tourist once again.
