FRRO Registration Deadline Calculator
Your deadline depends on your visa. Choose yours, enter the day you arrived, and see the date the Rules give you.
We'll calculate your FRRO registration deadline.
Based on Rule 12 of the Immigration and Foreigners Rules, 2025, as amended in June 2026. Children under 12 and OCI cardholders do not register; nationals of some specified countries follow a separate timeline set by government order. General guidance, not legal advice — confirm your own requirement with the FRRO or with us.
FRRO deadline — common questions
What is the FRRO registration deadline in India?
It depends on your visa. Under Rule 12 of the Immigration and Foreigners Rules, 2025, a foreigner on a visa valid for more than 180 days registers within 14 days of arrival. A foreigner on a visa of 180 days or less, or on a longer visa that limits each stay to 180 days, who wants to stay beyond 180 days must register before those 180 days run out — a June 2026 amendment removed the old window of 14 days after day 180. This calculator applies whichever rule fits the visa you choose.
Who has to register with the FRRO?
Anyone on a visa valid for more than 180 days without a per-stay limit, and anyone on a shorter visa who stays beyond 180 days. The Rules exempt children under 12, OCI cardholders, and visitors on a visa of 180 days or less who leave within it — unless the endorsement on the visa requires registration. Nationals of some specified countries follow a separate timeline set by government order. We can confirm your position.
What happens if I miss the FRRO deadline?
Late registration is treated as a violation and can complicate later extensions or your departure. For visitors who needed to register before completing 180 days, the June 2026 amendment allows late registration only in emergent circumstances. If your deadline has passed, act at once rather than waiting — contact the FRRO or us to regularise your status.
