URGENT AND IMPORTANT

Hello everyone,

Finally 10 months long wait is over and I have received my PPR email on 4th Sept.

I am now in a different situation and seeking some valuable suggestions from some more experienced people on the forum.

My visa office was NDVO as per my application. However all the processing has happened through Warsaw Visa office. Now, due to official work I have temporarily moved to UK and my wife is in India. I need to get the stamping done within next 30 days and I do not have the option of going to India and getting it done.

Please provide suggestions as to what should be done and how can I get the stamping in such a situation when both of us are at different location and timeline given to me is 30 days.

Is it ok to courier the passport from UK to India? Permissions required? Legal or illegal?
Is it ok if it is taken from UK to India by someone who is travelling to India?
Is it possible to get it stamped locally in London? And my spouse getting it stamped on India?

If anyone of you or anyone who you may know has under gone similar situation, and can share your thoughts and suggestions it would be extremely helpful and appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance!

Cheers,
MVK

Dear Friends,
With due respects to all the opinions in favour of sending by courier in the forum, Please do not send passports through any means whether Dhl /Fedex/ normal post.Any loss during transit you will not be able to get a new passport easily without producing police FIR . whether you inform the courier or not they scan the parcel before they courier. If you read the passport carefully it is mentioned that you are not supposed to post it.

Thanks

i understand it is not legal to send indian passport across international borders and might be a problem when sending indian passport to or from India.

also what about sending USA passport from USA to Canada( ottawa ) and back.

Its mostly about the policy in that country on sending out/receiving passports outside the country. Yes India restricts but practically cant restrict in other countries.
US to Canada and vice-versa is not an issue as these 2 countries dont restrict. I stamped my passport sending it Ottawa from US and received it back.

thank you harirajmohan for your quick reply. I have one more question. Will ottawa mail the passport out of canada to a USA address, is that how you did it, or have give a friend or relatives address in canada and then have them mail the passports to you in the USA ?

so far i know foreign ministry gives the authorization to send the passport to other countries if the applicants can show PR request letter from other countries. i am talking about my country. we go to foreign ministry, get the authorization showing approval PR letter and send it to foreign countries such as canada.
hi Del, I am Bangladeshi. I am facing the passport sending problem. can you tell me about the foreign ministry part? where to apply? and approximately how much time could it take to get the permission? thank you....
