India has tightened its immigration rules, mandating that foreign nationals with visas valid for up to 180 days must complete registration before their permitted stay expires. This change, enacted by the Union Home Ministry under the revised Immigration and Foreigners Rules, 2025, replaces the previous allowance for registration within 14 days after the visa expiry. The new regulation aims to enhance compliance and monitoring of long-term foreign visitors. Additionally, foreign nationals holding visas valid for more than 180 days must also register before reaching this limit if they plan to extend their stay. The updated framework provides relief for children born to foreign parents in India, exempting them from reporting if one parent is an Indian citizen. Furthermore, the notification revises compliance requirements for hospitals and medical institutions regarding foreign nationals. To improve efficiency, India has expanded and digitized its foreigner registration system through the FRRO platform, marking a significant update since the introduction of the new immigration rules.
