Many people of all abilities have experienced difficulties and frustration due to the peculiarities of this web-based service, and the ICCA is therefore pleased to be of assistance to those wishing to complete their OCI applications. The ICCA OCI application service includes the use of a digital camera and suchlike. For further information, please call our Visa and Passport Service on 0115 969 3402.

This service has been extended a number of times by the High Commission of India and the closing date has now been extended to Friday 30 June 2017.
The ICCA can provide assistance with this conversion application as part of the ICCA’s Visa and Passport Service by way of booking an appointment.
