Congratulations on your decision to study at The Aryavart International University! Navigating the visa and immigration process is an essential step in your journey to studying abroad. Here's what you need to know about visas and immigration procedures for international students:

Student Visa (X Visa):

1. Visa Type: International students planning to study in India typically require a Student Visa, also known as an X Visa. It is mandatory to mention the name of “The Aryavart International University” in the Student Visa. This visa allows you to reside in India for the duration of your academic program.
2. Application Process: To apply for a Student Visa, you will need to submit an application to the nearest Indian Embassy or Consulate in your home country. The application typically requires you to provide proof of acceptance from The Aryavart International University, proof of financial means to support yourself during your stay, and other supporting documents as specified by the consulate.
3. Visa Duration: The duration of your Student Visa will typically correspond to the length of your academic program. You may also have the option to extend your visa if your program duration exceeds the initial visa validity period.
4. Biometrics and Interviews: Some Indian consulates may require you to undergo biometric data collection and/or attend an interview as part of the visa application process. Be sure to check the specific requirements of the consulate where you will be applying.

Immigration Procedures:

1. Arrival in India: Upon arrival in India, you will be required to undergo immigration procedures at the port of entry. Make sure to have all necessary documents readily available, including your passport, visa, and acceptance letter from The Aryavart International University.
2. Registration with FRRO: International students staying in India for more than 180 days are required to register with the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) within 14 days of arrival. This registration process involves submitting your passport, visa, and other relevant documents to the FRRO office for verification.
3. Residence Permit: In addition to your visa, you may be issued a Residence Permit or Resident Certificate by the FRRO. This document serves as official permission to reside in India for the duration of your academic program.
4. Visa Renewal: If your Student Visa expires before the completion of your academic program, you will need to apply for a visa renewal through the FRRO or the Indian Embassy/Consulate in your home country. Be sure to start the renewal process well in advance to avoid any disruptions to your studies.
