With the right information and preparation, you can not only avoid legal complications but also make your time in India truly memorable.

Registration
All foreign nationals arriving on a student visa are required to register with the concerned FRRO within 14 days of their arrival in India. This can be done by applying for the ‘Registration’ service on the e-FRRO portal. Upon successful registration, you will be issued a Registration Certificate or Residential Permit (RC/RP). This RC/RP serves as proof of your legal stay in India. Always check the expiry date printed on your RC/RP.

Extension of RC/RP
If the expiry date of your RC/RP is approaching but your student visa remains valid, you can apply for the ‘Registration Extension’ service via the e-FRRO portal before your RC/RP expires.

Extension of Student Visa
If your student visa is nearing expiration, you can apply for the ‘Visa Extension’ service through the e-FRRO portal to legally continue your academic program in India.
