Entering India on OCI

[ss0592]

Hi all,

I recently got my OCI (status is granted, so should receive soon). I was just wondering what are next steps while visiting India?
I plan to go soon and am not sure what OCI holders need to do. Is there a form or anything to fill or we just land and show the card and that's it? Any help at all would be much appreciated!
I saw some article somewhere about how the OCI process has changed in 2025 but there were no details so a little confused here!

Thanks

If you have an OCI card, all you need to do is fill out the e-Arrival card 72 hours prior to arrival: https://www.cgitoronto.gov.in/alert_detail/?alertid=332

Thats it ...

If a minor child with Canadian citizenship and Indian OCI needs to travel to India with GrandParent, what documents are expected during immigration in India? Are there any official web page we can refer to? Thanks
