Hi,

My Canadian passport has expired and I got a new one couple of weeks back. My PIO card has the old passport number endorsed on it. I am travelling to India next week and there is not enough time to get the new passport # endorsement on the PIO card. According to BLS which now processes Indian visas etc, the process takes 4-6 weeks. Since there is not enough time to get the endorsement of the new passport # on the PIO card, is it possible to travel to India with the PIO card and carrying both the passports i.e. the old and the new? Has anyone had this experience?

Thanks in advance!

-- carry your old passport that is in your PIO card...We are doing it for the past 7+ years...

thanks for the quick reply! That's good to know - so no need to get the new passport endorsed on the PIO card.
