Attn : All PIO card holders in Mauritius

Greetings from the High Commission of India. 

As you are aware, the last date for conversion of PIO into OCI cards is fast approaching i.e. June 30, 2017. 

Those who are yet to convert their PIO cards – it is kindly requested to get the PIO cards converted into OCI cards at the earliest, as after the last date, it will not be possible to convert the PIO card.

May also note that the conversion of PIO card to OCI card would not require any extra scrutiny or additional documentation except for the requirement of copy of passport and existing PIO card.

A separate online application for issue of OCI card in lieu of the existing PIO card without payment of any registration fee is available at: http://passport.gov.in/oci/welcome
