Any reduced fee for Entry Visa holders, when applying OCI in India

[deekayseven]

I'm thinking of getting 5 years Entry Visa to India and apply OCI within and while in India. Now, it seems that the fee for 5 years Entry Visa is about $200 dollars and , when applying for OCI, will the fee for OCI be still at $275 or will that be lesser?

Any ideas?

There is no reduction in OCI fees because of visa.
Why would you take 5 year visa? You have the option of taking 6 month or 1 year visa.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I agree, I can choose 1 year and save $s now and spend on OCI later.
