OCI - British Government Legal Position

[PindoriaSolicitors]

We are leading solicitors firm in London having made hundreds of OCI/PIO application on behalf of our clients.

We are often asked what is the legal status of having a OCI when needing consular services in India as a British citizen.

Please see the attached letter from the Foreign and Commonwealth Offfice of the British Government to Pindoria Solicitors send under the Freedom of Information Act.

It clears up the confusion that holding a OCI visa will not deny you consular services from the British High Commissions in India.

Well, if you are in India and are in trouble, Indian law will apply to you no matter what.

I am not sure where the British consular service help would apply though.
