Wahid-da In your article you have mentioned three incidents of Denied entry to India which you mentioned were due to confusion with OCI Visa. Except for the case of Dr. Pandit, none of the other two cases involve OCI. In case of Viraj and Vrishabh, one of the brother had a Indian Visitor Visa and the other had a PIO Card and their parents "forgot" to carry those. The second case , that of 12 year old , was similar. Her mother "forgot" to carry her passport that had the Visitor Visa. Combining PIO and OCI is not going to solve the problem if people forget to carry the Visa and/or card. No Country , including Netherland I would assume, will allow someone to enter without Visa unless there is a Visa on arrival or Visa Waiver treaty. India does not have any such treaty with US or any of the European countries.

Today's Topics: 1. Rajya Sabha approves bill for amendment to Citizenship Act (Wahid Saleh - Indiawijzer) One of the news items of today is that the "Rajya Sabha approves bill for amendment to Citizenship Act". I was in contact with the ministry on this subject. July 2005 to December 2013 is a ling time to follow an issue. But at long last all these years of correspondence with "Delhi and The Hague" is crowned with success. Rajya Sabha approves bill for amendment to Citizenship Act <http://tinyurl.com/q89tdgf> . This approval for amendment is the result of different representations and proposal submitted by the Diaspora community to the GOI. During this process, to obtain clarification of the OCI in relation to the Dutch nationality where possible, the Indian Diaspora in the Netherlands interacted with the Dutch government. Several times they interacted with the Minister, the Secretary and Joint-Secretary of MOIA on different Diaspora related issues.
