The Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card is a lifelong visa that grants individuals of Indian origin living abroad the right to travel to India without a visa. The application process involves multiple steps, including document collection, application form submission, and consulate interaction. We simplify this process by assisting with document preparation, form completion, and submission, while ensuring that the client stays vigilant for embassy requests.
Document Collection and Verification: We guide clients in collecting the necessary documents, including proof of Indian origin, passport copies, and other vital paperwork required for the OCI application.

Submission Assistance: After completing the application, we submit it to the Indian consulate or visa center on your behalf, handling logistics to ensure everything is in order.
Tracking and Embassy Notifications: While we submit the application, the client is responsible for monitoring the embassy’s updates using their provided contact details (email and phone number). If the embassy requests additional information or documentation, the client must inform us so we can promptly assist with the next steps.
