Hi. My mother-in-law just passed away and I'm looking for information on applying for emergency visa to India.
My situation:
Canadian Citizen, Cancelled Indian passport, OCI application in progress.
I called BLS Canada and they said emergency visas can only be applied at the consulate.
Looking at the Indian Consulate site it suggests that BLS has emergency counters for processing such visas. No one is picking up the phone there so cannot confirm atm.
Another option I saw mentioned in the forums is to apply for an e-visa. If this is the better approach which category do I apply in, and how long does it take to process?
Can I do both? Applying for e-visa seems to be an online application and I can do it faster.
Any info on how to proceed would be appreciated.
