This card is issued to OCIs on filling up a form and attaching 2 passport size photos along with photocopies of OCI and existing passport and a one time payment of Rs. 250.

The Goa Card is supposed to give the holders priority in dealing with Government departments. -- ** "Tony de Sa" < tonydesa at gmail dot com > **
