What about Goans who have foreign nationalities? They
are also buying flats/houses in Goa. There are
foreigners who are given one year visa at a time and
have bought flats.

Mario suggests:
>
Those Goans who have foreign nationalities should
apply for the Overseas Citizen of India
[OCI]classification which would give them the same
financial rights in India as Non Resident Indians, as
well as limitless stays in India.
>
No more applying for visas, no more restrictions on
how long you can stay in India.
>
The only rights an OCI is denied is voting in Indian
elections and owning farmland in India.
