I have gotten the question often on how to extend a visa here in Jamnagar. So I thought I just write down what what is needed, for future reference.
Procedure:
- Go to office of the International Center and fill in a form for renewal of visa. (Mr. Joshi knows which one.)
- Go back the next day to the same office and get the official letter.
- Bring the letter to the officer in charge of the foreigner’s registration at the police station, Mr Bahadur Singh. He will then ask you to bring him the following documents:
- Bank remittance certificate (From your bank. This is a proof that you are having and getting funds for your studies.)
- Extension form (From Mr. Bahadur Singh himself, filled in by yourself.)
- Letter from the University (which you already have.)
- Copy of passport (and perhaps Visa too. Can’t remember.)
- Copy of residential permit.
- Receipt of visa fee (Bahadur will give you all the details.)
- After all papers have been filled in/acquired and the fee has been paid you need to copy all documents so you have each one in triplets, except the visa fee receipt which, I think, you need in quintuplets. Might be wrong here though.
- Then go back to Bahadur and he will do the rest. Congratulations you just got the badge of Medium-Bureaucracy-Hassle!
Have I missed something or has something changed? If so, please inform me or comment below so I can update the list.
