India has been granting 5yr visa to UK, USA citizens but grants just 3month entry visa to family members of its nationals ! This is total disrespect to Indians whose spouse, kids hold foreign passports.

Getting Visa to travel to India in US and Canada is a real hassle. This leaves a really bad impressions especially to tourists who want to travel to India and some even cancel their tour to India because of all the delays in getting VISA and Indian Officials bad attitude and laziness. They can't treat foreigners as Indians since they're used to easy and timely processes of getting visa without much problem. I think government officials should be smiling/positive to tourists wanting to go India.

I think the firstly the Visa issue, we need to have on-arrival visa for all NRI rather than they need to get visa for there travel. Solution :- Enable online visa system with automatic receiving of Visa Online.or/and On-Arrival Visa for all NRIs. Secondly the fees for OCI Card is really high and also we need to pay for surrendering India Passport too. I would suggest we need to look into these issues. Solution :- Exempt the fees to surrender passport and also reduce the fees for OCI.

Empower NRIs to vote in atleast the Lok-Sabha elections by making such provision at our consulate / embassy / high-commission in countries with a big NRI community (USA UK Australia Canada Singapore etc). All NRIs may even be allowed to vote in LS elections through online-voting on internet.

We need to consider an open debate on dual citizenship and its benefits or problems. In the new age, the Indians abroad will be the valuable links to an international indian image and positioning as a global power.

USA Customs had gone online with passenger arrival and departure records(i94 form). We can also bring that system where given the passport number and all other details we can get the depature/arrival records etc..

While applying for PIO for new borns there are lot of fields in the application which are not applicable but there are guidelines that say we are should not fill NA

I live in USA and wanted to bring the issue for the required changes in OCI rules. If a previous Indian citizen by birth has citizenship of another country before becoming USA citizen, he/she will not be eligible for OCI as per rules posted in Indian Consulate Houton website which says that USA citizenship certificate should show previous citizenship as India. My mother, an Indian citrizen by birth spending 65 years in India became NZ citizen and then became US citizen will not get OCI? Not fair

Please provide the Voting Rights to NRIs who are citizens of India but working in other countries Please Levy a One time fee or an Insurance premium as a protection against any turmoil in the country that they work.(This money to be used to bring them safely back home. Then it is not a charity work by GOV anymore) Please make sure that the Indian embassy staff are equally represented by all Indian States. Pease start 24 Hour helpline where there is more than 1 million NRIs are living
