PIO (Person of Indian Origin) Card is a document issued by the Government of India to overseas Indians and people of Indian descent to facilitate their travel to India. It is a lifelong visa that allows multiple entries into India and is valid for 10 years or until the validity of the passport, whichever is earlier.
There are many benefits to obtaining a PIO Card. It allows for visa-free travel to India, making it easier and more convenient to visit the country. PIO Card holders are also eligible for a number of other benefits, such as the right to purchase property in India, to work in India, and to open a bank account in India. Additionally, PIO Card holders can apply for Indian citizenship after staying in India for a certain period of time.
