In reply to Kasu Venkateswara Reddy. We are a SENIOR CITIZEN couple. We are U.S.A citizens holding OCI Cards and living in India since October, 2012. We came to USA on 12/02/2020 to attend a marriage in the family which was to be ceremonised on 11/04/2020. Due to COVID-19, the marriage got postponed to next year and our return flight for 28/05/2020 has also been cancelled. Our question is when can we travel back to India and join our son and grand daughters, who are also US nationals. We are aged 76 and 70 years old and our medical supplies are also reaching alarming level and need replenishment urgently.we do not know whose door should we knock for return to India.

In reply to kishor Patel. Hi Kishore! Good to know that you will travel from Atlanta to Bombay. As far as we think quarantine may not be arranged in Mumbai where thousands of positive COVID19 cases have been detected.

I am holding US Citizenship and Indian visiting visa,but my family in India. I want to travel to india.
I think government should allow everyone as long as person is Indian origin and family in India or any valid reason.

Will OCI card holders be permitted to travel at any time to India? Air India flights are coming into Australia I believe returning by birth and naturalised Australian citizens (most are OCI card holders or of Indian origin also) to Australia. Any news anyone on that front? Why is the call only for US based OCI card holders?
