The Bureau of Immigration does not publish visiting hours for FRRO offices, and third-party listings conflict — so we don't list one. In-person visits generally happen only when the e-FRRO portal instructs you to attend; confirm timing through the portal or the contacts above before travelling.
The office now operates from the Bureau of Immigration OCR Complex at Shamshabad. Older directories still list Kavadiguda (CGO Towers) or Lingampally addresses — those are outdated. Chhattisgarh moved to FRRO Mumbai.
What FRRO Hyderabad handles
Every FRRO offers the same core services for foreign nationals in its jurisdiction — and for each of them, we handle the paperwork end to end:
Mandatory for qualifying stays over 180 days — within 14 days of arrival.
Extending eligible long-stay visas (Employment, Student, Medical, X).
Departure clearance after an overstay, lost passport, or visa expiry.
OCI-related applications and updates.
How to apply — start online, not at the office
Since 2018, FRRO services run through the official e-FRRO portal. You visit the Hyderabad office only if the portal or the office asks you to appear.
- 1
Create an account on the official e-FRRO portal (indianfrro.gov.in) and select the service you need — registration, extension, exit permit, or another service.
- 2
Upload your documents (passport, visa, photograph, proof of address in India, and purpose-specific documents) and submit the application online.
- 3
Track the application status on the portal. Most cases complete without any office visit.
- 4
Attend FRRO Hyderabad in person only if instructed — bring originals of everything you uploaded.
Registration deadlines: foreign nationals on Student, Employment, Medical or Missionary visas valid for more than 180 days must register within 14 days of arrival. Since June 2026, those on visas of 180 days or less who intend to extend must register before completing 180 days of stay. OCI cardholders and children under 12 are exempt. See our deadline calculator and e-FRRO portal guide.
