Indian authorities announced all Person of Indian Origin (PIO) cards will remain valid until Dec. 31, 2025.
Key Points:
Additional Information: Indian officials are advising individuals to convert their PIO card to an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card before the extended deadline. The OCI card is a smart card that allows foreign citizens to visit India without a visa for 15 years, facilitates quicker immigration clearance at immigration check posts and qualifies individuals for additional consular services. More information on OCI conversion can be found here.
