India to Establish FRRO Offices in All State Capitals by 2027
The Indian government, led by Home Minister Amit Shah, plans to establish Foreigners Regional Registration Offices (FRROs) in all state capitals by 2027 to accommodate the rising number of foreign visitors for tourism, medical treatment, and education. Currently, 20 FRROs operate across various states, with recent additions in cities like Jaipur, Aizawl, and Kohima. This expansion aims to improve access to consular services, enhance regulatory compliance, and support India's efforts to attract international visitors by decentralizing immigration management.
