FRRO (Foreigners Regional Registration Office) registration applies to certain foreign nationals and visa categories. Requirements and time windows must be checked against the live visa and current government guidance.
Who must register, and when
Whether a traveller and their dependants must register, and by when, depends on nationality, visa endorsement, category and intended stay. Confirm the applicable window before travel rather than relying on a general rule.
What you need
Passport and visa, proof of address, employment details, photographs and the relevant forms (including Form C from the accommodation provider). Requirements vary by city and category, which is where local knowledge matters.
The practical reality
Where registration is required, the portal, documents and any appointment or office visit must align with the applicable window. IKAN can support preparation and accompany families where the live process requires it.
Legal and immigration articles are general information, not legal advice. Official requirements can change after the review date.
