Hei, I understand that the PIO card will no longer be accepted *as a travel document by airlines* other than Air India after August 2018. PIO's were handwritten cards which the airlines will no longer accept after Oct 2018.
However, the PIO card is valid for life. For those with property an other issues while in India this will be of interest. One can change a PIO card to an OCI which will be accepted by airlines for travel. One has to pay for the conversion as the deadline for free conversion was Dec 2017 and the PM of India has refused to extend the date, I understand that there is the Indian X Visa option which provides a neat solution to the problem of travel. Apparently it is valid for life and acceptable to travel agents. Anyone know what the latest take is on this issue. rui.n...@gmail.com
