Planning to study in India? Bureau of Immigration shares registration, visa extension rules for international students

Foreign students in India must complete crucial post-arrival formalities to ensure their legal stay. The Bureau of Immigration mandates registration with the FRRO within 14 days of arrival via the e-FRRO portal. Students also need to extend their Registration Certificate/Residential Permit and, if necessary, their Student Visa before expiry to continue their studies without interruption. Timely renewal of these documents is essential.
