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.
For my PIO to OCI conversion, I have submitted some documents which are, a foreign passport, PIO card, Marriage certificate, NORI I, and NOR II.
After submitting my PIO to the OCI application conversion process, it has taken about 8-10 weeks to convert my PIO card to an OCI card.
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.
