This query is : Resolved
My Girlfriend is from Bangladesh and I am from India. She is a Hindu and I am Hindu as well. She is a registered doctor in Bangladesh, and currently pursuing Masters in India on student visa.
Now that we have decided to get married, can you please advise as to how can this be done ? How can she get herself registered with Indian Medical council ? Can she work here then? What type of visa will apply ? Will she be eligible for Indian citizen after marriage ?
Request advise.

As per section 5(1)(c) of the Indian Citizenship Act, 1955, after the marriage with this Bangaldesh lady wait for seven years before she can apply for Indian Citizenship & apply for Indian passport on basis of this acquired Indian citizenship. The best course the Government of India provided for all such cases where Indian citizen marries a foreign national is to provide such foreigner spouse PERSON OF INDIAN ORIGIN CARD (PIO CARD) by virtue of all such benefits accrue to such person :-
1)No visa required for visiting India.
2) No separate “Student Visa” or “Employment Visa” required for admissions in Colleges/Institutions or for taking up employment respectively.
3) A PIO Card holder will be exempt from the requirement of registration if his stay on any single visit in India does not exceed 180 days.
4) In the event of continuous stay in India of the PIO Card holder exceeding 180 days, he/she shall have to get himself/herself registered within 30 days of the expiry of 180 days with the concerned Foreigners Regional Registration Officer / Foreigners Registration Officer
5) Parity with non-resident Indians in respect of facilities available to the latter in economic, financial and educational field.
