A note dated April 28 issued by the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO), Jodhpur (City), has come as a relief to Pakistani nationals who have either applied for long-term visas (LTV) or have LTVs with expired validity.
According to the note, the Home Ministry has issued guidelines regarding the order for Pakistani citizens residing in India. They are:
- Pakistani citizens who have come to India and are currently residing here on LTV are not required to leave the country.
- For Pakistani citizens residing in Jodhpur city on LTV, if the validity of their LTV has expired, they are required to get it extended. They can get it done by visiting the FRRO in Jodhpur city.
- Pakistani citizens who have applied for LTV and whose cases are pending are not being deported.
- Pakistani nationals who are eligible for LTV application and have not submitted it so far should submit it along with valid documents as soon as possible and get their registration done at FRRO, Jodhpur City.
- Pakistani citizens whose passports have expired and who have not yet registered themselves anywhere should also submit their documents to the FRO of their area so that necessary guidelines can be obtained from the state government and the Home Ministry in their regard.
- FRRO, Jodhpur City, has launched a special campaign for registration of Pakistani citizens and to receive LTV applications so that all such applications can be disposed of quickly and relief can be provided to them. In the last three days, LTV applications of 362 Pakistani citizens have been accepted and registered, and this process is continuing.
Sanjay Aggarwal, DGP Intelligence, Rajasthan, said, “Those who have applied for LTV are exempt as the process to approve LTV takes time due to various background checks.”
