    When I click view I am unable to see my passport document (it's in PDF format, I used Adobe Acrobat to convert it) - the file opens perfectly outside of the website but when I try to open it on the website using "View" it does not open. Why might this be, and will the document open for them?

      @@user-hy9id5dt2j You can arrive on the same and the next date or anytime before the visa expires . But a day before or earlier.. Usually I put one day earlier on the applicant. If my flight is on the 20th, I put on the 19th application. To be extra safe.
      IF YOUR VISA IS GOING TO EXPIRED, YOU SHOULD RENEW IT BEFORE TRAVELING. IF CASE, YOU GONNA STAY FOR A WEEK, YOUR VISA SHOULD BE VALID FOR A WEEK TOO.

    How do you do being in India all year? You can get the T1 10 year tourist multiple entry visa and only stay a total of 180 days per year. Within that 180 days you can come and go as many times you want. But not over 180 days!

    • @bjenks
      @bjenks  4 месяца назад +1

      Right that’s what I do. In past there was not a limit though. I stay 180 days and leave for a week and then come back for 180 more rays

    • @superpoodlehead
      @superpoodlehead 4 месяца назад

      @@bjenks ??Really?? I’m confused now. But it’s only 180 days within a calendar year Jan 1-Dec 31, right? You are not supposed to leave and come back in a week if you’ve exceeded your 180 days in that calendar year. Right?
      I used to do that back in earlier years, like you said-because of the “continuous days” rule. Now that is gone since 2022 when the borders opened again. All visas changed.
      The thing is, I’ve had this visa since 2018. I would never had known of the change if I wasn’t on social media in FB groups and RUclips. The embassy doesn’t notify you. In fact, it wasn’t completely clear in the multiple embassy consulate websites in the USA and India-all the info was different. Even the FRRO hasn’t updated their pages on the websites!
