Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Exit Permits
An Exit Permit is an official authorization issued by the FRRO/FRO that allows foreign nationals to legally leave India in cases such as visa overstay, expired visas, lost passports, or pending immigration matters.
You may need an Exit Permit if your visa has expired, you have overstayed, your passport is lost or renewed, you are awaiting visa extension approval, you hold emergency travel documents, or you have unresolved immigration status.
No, foreign nationals who overstay or lack valid visa documentation typically require an Exit Permit before departure to avoid legal penalties, as determined by Indian immigration authorities.
You apply through the official e-FRRO portal by registering online, completing the Exit Permit application form, uploading required documents, paying applicable penalties or fees, and tracking approval status. Immicore offers paid assistance to help you prepare and submit this correctly — we do not operate the government portal.
