OCI and E-Visa both causes issues
Hi experts,
Due to various reports like the one pasted below, and after talking to Indian immigration authorities in India, I decided to get an e-Visa, in addition to already existing OCI (but stamped on an old passport).
Upon immigration in India, I was challenged on why I had both OCI and e-Visa, even though the recommendation to procure eVisa came from Indian Immigration authorities. Anyways, the whole immigration check took a long while, as the officer-on-duty had to "manually" workaround the system to allow entry. Same experience while leaving India. The officer-on-duty during Emigration at India said that we will have to live with this experience till the life of eVisa.
My question to experts: has anyone faced a similar situation? any way to rescind OCI/eVisa and start afresh? I don't want to go through the same hassle every time I go to India. I am sure neither do the immigration officers.
