To convert a PIO card to an OCI card you can apply online at the OCI services website. You have to submit the application form, supporting documents, and the fee at a VFS center. You can check the CKGS website to get details about the document checklist, processing time, and fee for OCI in place of PIO.

    I have an OCI card which has many benefits like Quicker immigration clearance, Free travel to India, and a Lifelong visa to India.

    I had a PIO card before but now I have changed my PIO to an OCI card because a PIO card is only valid for 15 years and an OCI card provides a lifetime free visa to India.
