FRRO Registration Support.
Foreign nationals on long-term visas must register with the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) or Foreigners Registration Officer after arriving in India. Since 1 September 2025 this is governed by the Immigration and Foreigners Act, 2025 and its Rules, which require registration within 14 days of arrival on the e-FRRO portal or the Indian Visa Su-Swagatam app. We prepare and file the application and handle later updates.
Typically 1–3 weeks from filing, depending on the FRRO's verification and whether an office visit is called for. The application should be filed within 14 days of arrival.
