Documents required for FRRO Registration Process

by Ravi Dutt Sharma Digital Marketing

You can no longer go to the FRRO directly to register yourself. Times have changed and with the changing technology the only way is to take an appointment and that too online. Once you book an appointment online it might take some time for your turn to come which could be between days to weeks. Make sure once you land in India the first thing you do is, take an FRRO appointment online or at least 15 days in advance of the day your VISA expires.

Follow the below mentioned steps to make sure that your documents for FRRO registration are ready and the process becomes more convenient.

· Once you arrive in India drive down to the FRRO and collect the check list form from the office, this will help you to gather all your documents required for the registration, if you are with your family make sure you check the documents required for the dependents as well. Prefer you check all details from the office itself and not online since most of the times details are not up to date there.

· Make sure you complete all the details in the forms even the slightest ones.

· If you are on an employment visa you need to have your documents on company letter heads and the rest of the documents where the company’s name has been mentioned should be duly attested with stamp by the company also be sure about the documents have been attested at the right place(else it might lead to rejection of documents).

· For the convenience of the agent sitting at the desk arrange the documents in the same sequence as mentioned in the checklist this might help speed up things.
