I just had a baby and we are planning to go to India.

What is better OCI, IPO, or visa? I have US passport for the baby.

Thanks,

If eligible OCI is the best. (Are minor children whose both parents are Indian citizens are not eligible for OCI)

I am not sure the difference between the IPO and VISA. I am looking for that answer as well.

Any help on this is appreciated.

PIO is better
if going to India in 10-12 days then get Visa for baby.
if going after one month better get PIO for the baby as PIO may take 25-40 days and depends on consulate. PIO is valid for 15 years and visa is just for 5 years (fee for PIO is extra 5-10$) POI is much better if you have time to get it.
** If parents are also US citizen then you can get OCI for the baby but it may take 2-3 months ( OCI is for life)
