Re: Travel on US passport without having surrendered the Indian passport

[shah007]

Hi!

I got my US citizenship in September. I have a US passport now. However, I have not surrendered my Indian passport to the indian embassy. I am travelling to Jamaica in the first week of Jan. Is it ok if I have not surrendered my Indian passport to the indian embassy. Or do I need to do that before I travel to Jamaica?

Thanks!

It doesn't affect travel to Jamaica. You can surrender Indian passport when you apply for Indian visa or OCI/PIO.

Your travel on your US passport has nothing to do with business with the Indian government. If you never intend to go to India, for example, you never need to worry about surrendering your Indian citizenship officially. They just want money. You're officially no longer an Indian citizen anyway.
