    Entry Visa for visiting India - Can I apply with receipt of submission of Surrender of Indian Passport

    Hi, I applied for the entry visa and I did not do any biometrics. When I called BLS and asked them about supporting documents, they did not mention biometrics either. Currently they are only giving short term entry visas, which may not require biometrics.
