Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about visa extension
Yes, eligible foreign nationals can apply for an Indian visa extension while residing in India through the official e-FRRO or FRO portal, depending on visa type and purpose of stay.
Common visa categories eligible for extension include employment, student, medical, business, research, entry, and dependent visas. Tourist visas are generally not extendable except in special circumstances such as medical emergencies.
You register on the official e-FRRO portal, complete the online application form, upload required documents, pay applicable government fees, and track your application online. Immicore offers paid assistance to help you prepare and submit this correctly — we do not operate the government portal.
Typically required documents include a valid passport, existing visa copy, passport-size photograph, address proof in India, supporting purpose documents (employment, education, medical, etc.), and the FRRO registration certificate if applicable.
Processing usually takes several weeks, though timelines may vary depending on visa category, nationality, and document verification, and are determined solely by the government authority.
Tourist visas are generally non-extendable. Extensions may only be granted under exceptional situations such as medical emergencies, natural disasters, flight cancellations, or other government-approved special cases.
