Anyone here got the "Premium lounge" appointment? What was the experience like? Did you take any forms/photos or did they fill out everything for you?

Is there any WhatsApp group for Passport surrender and OCI?

None as it's a short process of 1-2 months.

Hi, Preparing to surrender Indian passport, have Indian address in passport. What address to fill in the present residential address in the surrender application? Current Canadian residential address or the Indian address in the passport? . There is a question "Is your passport printable address outside of India", in my case I select "No" and provide the Indian address. But in the the final review section it shows up as "Is your present Residential address outside India?" - No. The wordings in the online form is confusing. Thanks.

Has anyone here recently applied for surrendering an Indian passport pls?

I have a question regarding the updated process. Now we are required to upload the photograph and signature online, and once the form is printed, it already includes the ARN number along with the digital photo and signature.

If that’s the case, why do we still need to send the physical passport sized photo to the BLS centre?

Thanks in advance

Some things need to be followed without questioning and this is one among them Just like how we used to do self-attestation of all docs back in India
