The Indian government has notified changes to the Immigration and Foreigners Rules, 2025, requiring foreigners on visas of 180 days or less to register anytime before the expiry of their visa if they wish to stay longer. Previously, registration was required within 14 days after the visa period ended. For visas exceeding 180 days, registration beyond this period will be granted only in emergent circumstances. The rules also ease requirements for children born to foreign parents if one parent is an Indian citizen.
