Rules tightened for foreigners extending stay
TIMES OF INDIA 03.06.2026
Foreigners who enter India on a visa valid for 180 days and wish to stay back beyond this period must now register with the competent authority at any time before expiry of their visa, instead of the earlier norm which allowed them to register within 14 days after expiry of their visa, reports Bharti Jain.
The Immigration and Foreigners (Amendment) Rules, notified by the home ministry on Monday, also introduced the “only in emergent circumstances” clause for extension of stay of foreigners who entered on a visa valid for more than 180 days, with a single stay not lasting beyond 180 days, but who want to stay longer than 180 days on a single occasion.
