Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about FRRO registration
Foreign nationals visiting India on visas valid for more than 180 days are generally required to register with FRRO or FRO within the prescribed time after arrival. Visa categories such as student, employment, research, medical, and missionary visas often require registration regardless of duration. Certain nationalities, including Pakistani citizens, may have stricter and faster registration requirements. Final determination is made by the Government of India.
Foreign nationals register directly on the official Government of India e-FRRO portal (indianfrro.gov.in) by creating an account, completing the application, uploading documents, and paying applicable fees. Immicore offers paid assistance to help you prepare and submit this correctly — we do not operate the government portal.
The Registration Certificate (RC) is issued by the Government of India confirming that the foreign national has completed the mandatory registration process with Indian immigration authorities.
Official government registration fees vary by visa category, nationality, and duration of stay, and are paid directly on the official e-FRRO portal. Immicore's assistance fee is separate and covers document preparation and filing support.
Failure to register on time may result in penalties, fines, legal complications, visa restrictions, or future travel difficulties, as determined by Indian immigration authorities. Overstays or delayed registration should be regularized promptly through the official FRRO process — contact us if you'd like help preparing that documentation.
