FRRO Services
A. Overview of FRRO & Legal Requirements Foreign nationals staying in India for more than 180 days are required by law to register with the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO). This registration ensures legal recognition of their stay in India and helps track immigration and residence status. Beyond registration, FRRO governs key services such as visa extension, address change, and exit permit issuance. Failing to comply with FRRO rules can lead to fines, visa cancellation, or denial of exit from the country.
B. Full-Suite FRRO Assistance We provide complete support for the following FRRO processes:
Initial Registration: Done within 14 days of arrival if staying longer than 180 days. We assist with documentation, online form filling, and appointment scheduling.
Visa Extensions: We facilitate applications to extend your existing visa without you having to leave India.
