What about Goans with foreign nationalities and foreign passports
?........ ...they are still goans at heart !
I thought , a couple of years , ago the Centre in Delhi was mooting
the idea of a card called Person of Indian Origin (PIO)............
which would give them similar rights to the OCI you mention. Many foreign
nations allow one to have dual nationalities.

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.
