Hi cd's,
I want to apply for OCI Card/Dual Citizenship. Can someone tell me, exactly in nutshell, what's the benefit of getting it, in detail. How long I can stay in India if I have dual citizenship?
Meaning that, If I have dual citizenship for India, I can travel without visa any number of times and can stay in either country, period.
Is it worth taking, if we do not travel much like once in 5 years.
Thanks.

India does not recognize dual citizenship. It only gives lifelong visa as in OCI. Major benefit is that you do not have to go to consulate/VFS every time you plan to go to India or if an emergency comes up requiring travel to India.

I must say that OCI is much more than just a life long visa. It is almost equal to Dual citizenship barring eligibility to an Indian passport,purchase of Agricultural lands, voting and holding a public office. You get NRI status meaning that you have special previlages for contributing to the foreign exchange. One such is special reservation (under NRI quota) in top notch educational institutions of India (with NRI higher fees).
So it is much more than just a life long visa.
Peace
