Brilliant video, I got my first OCI card when I was over 50. I have renewed my passport, do I need to update my OCI as well? Cheers

[@zindagikegolgappe]

Thanks for the appreciation. Yes you need to update your OCI every time you renew your passport. Since you obtained it after the age of 50, there is no need for OCI reapplication. You only need to update it online. Consider subscribing to the channel if you like the content. Thanks

Once we received confirmation email of OCI details with new passport updated. Do they email us some attachments pdf file which we need to carry while travelling to India.

[@zindagikegolgappe]

No just the email. You can print that and also the application status page. That should be enough proof to carry. But if the status is updated they won't ask for it but good to carry them.

Thank you for an informative video. I am going to India next week and I applied for new Canadian passport updation for my OCI and I got an email after submitting the application. But till now I have never received any conformation email from the consulate. I have checked the status and it shows that my information has been updated like you explained. I contacted VFS and even sent email to Vancouver office but nothing happened. Our local agent says that you take all these print outs and old Canadian passports when you travel to India. What do you think about it?

[@zindagikegolgappe]

Thanks for the appreciation and support. I am in the same boat..I haven't received any email stating the changes are confirmed but the online status states that. I agree it's safe to take printout of all documents and old canadian passport as well.

[@zindagikegolgappe]

Please update me on how the whole process worked for you. I have yet to travel to India with updated OCI.

[@amitabhagupta4224]

@@zindagikegolgappe will surely soon.

[@TOOSSIIFF]

The checklist says duly signed application. Do you affix the physical photo on both the forms? Or on just 1 form? Or leave the photo in the packet since it is printed on the printed application?

[@zindagikegolgappe]

I would suggest leave the photos in the packet.

[@TOOSSIIFF]

For others, I affixed one photo and sent one with the application. For notary docus, you can simply sign it and that’s what I did.

[@zindagikegolgappe]

Mine is still showing under process for more than 2 moths will i get my card

[@zindagikegolgappe]

Unfortunately its a long process. Try calling BLS for update or check Status on OCI website

[@ankushgupta25]

Hi, thanks for this Video, do we receive updated OCI book or it is simply updated within the System and we will keep using previously issued OCI book with new Passport?

[@zindagikegolgappe]

Yes it's only updated in the system. U will use current oci booklet with new passport. Only time a new oci booklet is issued is after age of 20 for kids and age 50 for adults.

[@ankushgupta25]

@@zindagikegolgappe thank you so much

[@zindagikegolgappe]

Very Welcome 🙏

[@ankushgupta25]

@@zindagikegolgappe Any idea on how long does it takes to get updated in System? It has been over a month and the status still says "Your application has been acknowledged by competent authority. It is being processed and will be updated soon." also what if we have to travel to India while it is still under process? Thanks

[@zindagikegolgappe]

@ankushgupta25 It normally takes 6 to 8 weeks of processing time. You can travel to India while the application is still in process.

How do you upload address proof ? I don’t see the option

[@amARI589]

Hello Bro, Is the process the same for someone born in the UK?

[@zindagikegolgappe]

Not sure. If your parent are of Indian origin than it should be the same process

[@ganeshb1403]

What to submit for Copies of Indian visa?

[@zindagikegolgappe]

Sorry didn't understand your question

[@HSinghNL]

I have question: I am 49 yrs now and i have renewed my passport now and it is valid till 10 more years. Do i have to update (renew) my OCI after 1 year when i am 50 yrs or after 10 yrs (before my new passport is expired)? Thank you

[@zindagikegolgappe]

As this is a border line case with your age so close to 50, I would suspect you would have to renew your OCI. To be on the safe side email BLS.

No need to re-aply for OCI after 50.. only update

[@zindagikegolgappe]

Yes correct. Have to reapply the first time u renew your canadian passport after turning 50 and then update only after that.

​@zindagikegolgappe I have OCI currently and a Canadian passport. After 10 years I will cross age 50. So do I need to just update it or start reappy8ng from scratch. Please clarify this point.

[@zindagikegolgappe]

@sridharv3903 The first time you renew your passport after turning 50 you need to reapply. Everytime after that just update only.

[@sridharv3903]

[@zindagikegolgappe]

For address change fill out another OCI update application and instead of selecting the passport update as reason select update of address. Also selct other in attaching the document for address proof. There is no specific bullet for it.
