A friend and colleague coined this statement and made total sense of it..
Doesn't seem logical yet thats the blaring truth of being Indian..
hard to believe -- here are some facts..
- Foreigners seem to be not guests but criminals on parole..
- register within 14 days of entering the country..
- obtain an FRO/FRRO which is a little booklet that is provided which the applicant then fills out manually themselves and resubmits for verification & stamping..
- inform nearest police station if they are leaving the city or going to another place in the country for more than 2 week
- not all criteria always mentioned on the website, theres always something that you find out on the spot
- The bus routes are all listed on the website, but they have now taken off the excel sheets with timing of each stop.. there is no way to plan your travel .. you have to go through a number of routes before you can decide which actually works for you.. after that then you have to do guess work with regards to timing the arrival/depature of the bus from the stop closest to you
- Try getting a new pan card - especially if you're a foreign national.. its never a simple or easy process till the absolute last step of them allocating a number then it takes just a day.
- Best one - getting a PIO card (person of indian origin - by birth or marriage) if applied for within India - 4 to 8 weeks to receive, US - 2 to 4 weeks, elsewhere like Columbia for example - 2 weeks
