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.

b) PIO's have a limit of six months at a time in
India. OCI's have no such limit.

Here is a detailed comparison between the PIO and the
OCI:
