Navigating immigration regulations can feel complex, but DMJ Institute provides end-to-end guidance to make your transition smooth and compliant.

1. Applying for the Indian Student Visa (S-Visa) All international students pursuing full-time degree or diploma courses in India must hold a valid Student Visa (S-Visa). Tourist or casual visas cannot be converted into student status within India.

Required Documents for your S-Visa Application:

• Provisional Admission Letter issued by DMJ Institute of Nursing Sciences.

• Proof of academic qualifications (Attested transcripts/certificates).

• Valid passport with at least 6 months of validity beyond your intended stay.

• Proof of financial support/bank statements showing tuition and living funds.

• Yellow Fever/Polio vaccination certificate (if applicable based on country of origin).

2. Completing FRRO Registration Upon Arrival Under Indian immigration laws, all foreign nationals holding a Student Visa valid for more than 180 days must register with the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) within 14 days of arrival in India.

Key FRRO Registration Steps:

• Online Portal Submission: Registrations are processed via the official e-FRRO web portal.

• Form C Generation: DMJ Institute’s international student supervisor will issue your Form C (proof of institutional accommodation).

• Residential Permit (RP): Upon successful verification, the Ministry of Home Affairs issues your official Residential Permit, granting you legal stay duration for the course length.

3. Visa Extensions and Course Continuity If you are enrolled in a four-year B.Sc Nursing degree, your visa may initially be granted for 1 to 2 years. DMJ’s administrative unit assists students with annual visa extensions, bonafide certificate issuance, and academic progress reporting to ensure continuous legal status throughout your training.
