  • Regaining Indian Citizenship

    Hi,

    I have acquired US Citizenship thorugh Naturalization.

    I am going to apply for OCI.
    After getting OCI, if I want to regain my Indian Citizenship is there a way to do it ?

    Also if I dont have an OCI, is there a way to regain my lost Indian Citizenship ?

    If you're ...

    ... trying to get back your Indian citizenship, why go through US Naturalization and then OCI?

    Don't know how this makes sense.

      Did you want to give up US Citizenship or are you talking about dual citizenship?

      I am not a lawyer and you need to consult with one to validate any info posted on the forum and discuss your case specifics. H1b Question? Read the FAQ first.

        Just want to find out that if at a later stage after getting OCI, if I want to regain my lost Indian citizenship, is there a way to do it?

          There is a process to give up US Citizenship. It is possible.

            Thanks for the response.

            If I give up US citizenship, does Indian govt allow to regain Indian citizenship ?

              I am not sure. Check with the Indian Embassy. You have to be a citizen of some country after all. Must be possible.

                Yes you can. You will become eligible to apply for Indian citizenship five years after receiving your OCI, and one year after ordinary residency.

                  Thanks for the info.

                  Is this eligibility criteria for regaining Indian citizenship valid for ppl who have given up Indian citizenship once ?

                  OR

                  For someone who has never been an Indian citizenship anytime ? like US born kids ?

                    Yes, you can get Indian citizenship even after getting OCI. (You will lose US citizenship, though).

                      US Citizenship is NEVER lost by simply gaining another citizenship. It is ONLY lost by RENUNCIATION.

                        If India requires renunciation of U.S. citizenship in order to gain Indian citizenship, the distinction is meaningless.
