Applying for OCI/PIO card in India with 6 months visa

[eagercitizen]

Hi All,
My daughter is a US citizen and she went to India on 6 months tourist visa. We want her to stay there for a year. Any ideas if we can apply for her OCI/PIO card in India. Will there be any problems due to 6 months visa validity? If that's the case, can we extend the visa while she's in India?

Thanks a lot in advance
Regards
Anil

No issues. She should be able to apply for OCI while in India with all the supporting documents needed for OCI.

If she cannot get it approved before her visa expires, then you need to find information about getting Indian visa while in India.
