Want to Move to Kolkata
Hiya all im new to the site. Plz go easy on me 
I’m a British and Portuguese citizen who also holds OCI.
I was born in goa but very young age all my family moved to Portugal then to UK.
My GF is from Kolkata and we will get married at the start of next year.
Her parents are old and has their own 15 flats building in the city which they rent out and now they want us to look after it.
I have been in UK for last 15 years and before that was in Portugal.
What visa do I need to move to India? Will my OCI card gives me long stay?
Anything else should I know about?
Thank you

Re: Want to Move to Kolkata
Just to say Welcome to the forum 
sounds like quite an adventure. I'm not based in India so cannot help you at all but, hopefully, someone in India will be able to advise.

You can stay in India as long as you want, I think the only restriction as a foreigner with OCI is that you cannot purchase agricultural land.

(The information about renewal in the above link is in the 'miscellaneous OCI Services', not the 'clarification/info' section as stated!!!)
