FRRO services

1. New FRRO registration and Residential Permit (RP)

What we help with:

• FRRO online account setup and application support

• Checks on passport, visa, entry stamps, photos and other baseline documents
• Organising employment contracts, employer documents and proof of residence
• Uploads to FRRO portals and step-by-step filing guidance

2. Visa extension (E registration / visa extension)

Long-stay visas such as Employment Visa often require company and stay-related evidence at extension.

Typical documents (illustrative):

• Passport and current visa copies
• Residential Permit (RP) copy

If you move from a hotel or guest house to private accommodation, or change address within India, FRRO may require a change-of-address filing.

What we help with:

• Landlord documents and address evidence checks
• Online change-of-address filing support

• Support to update passport details with FRRO
• Consistency checks across RP and visa records
• Additional FRRO document requests when they arise

5. Change of organisation reporting

If the employing entity changes or you move within a group, FRRO filings and visa conditions may need a structured review.

• Change-of-organisation filing support
• Cross-checks against existing RP and visa status
• Guidance on exit and new visa routes where relevant

C Form

The C Form is the lodging report operators of hotels, guest houses and serviced apartments file with FRRO for foreign guests.

In practice:

• Often captured at hotel check-in
• Useful for early-stay records after entry
• May be referenced when registering an RP or changing address

S Form

The S Form is a confirmation document filed to verify a foreign national’s purpose of stay and sponsoring or host organisation. Depending on the visa category and FRRO requirements, it may be issued by a school, employer, training institute or inviting organisation.

In practice:

• Often used as a school or training-institute confirmation for Student Visa, Intern Visa and similar categories
• For Employment Visa, may be requested as evidence of employment status and work details
• Typically covers purpose of stay, organisation, role and intended period
• May be requested again on visa extension or when particulars change

Exit permit support

Depending on visa status or overstay risk, an exit permit may be required before leaving India.

What we help with:

• Whether an exit permit is likely to apply
• Departure timing and urgent coordination
