How long American citizen can live in India on tuorist visa after get marry with Indian national?

I am Indian national and get marry with my American citizen girlfriend here in India. She came here on six month tourist visa. How long she can live in India or can extend her visa duration after get marry with Indian national?


Marriage with US citizen in a proper manner is firstly required,which can be in the civil form under the Special Marriage Act,1954 or according to Hindu form if both parties are Hindus by religion & then get the Marriage Registered under the Hindu Marriage Act,1955. Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains are included in the Category of Hindus under the Hindu Marriage Act,1955.

On the basis of valid marriage certificate issued by the Marriage Officer/Registrar the visa of the US spouse can be got extended up to five years or she can apply for PIO (Person of Indian Origin ) card on the basis of her marriage to an Indian citizen, thus getting benefits of her countinues stay in India without any visa or her frequent visit to India without any visa.

Till the VISA expires...End of Story...

Her Husband Cannot accompany her

upon her Return to the USA...

She has to file for a Marriage VISA for him...

He must remain out of the Country until it

is processed...

If she or him do not meet the VISA requirements

He will not be allowed into the USA...

marine 5's answer is perfect.

also u can contact indian passport agents and they will help u if u pay money to extend her visa.at any case pls do not over stay.

u can apply for an indian spouse visa for her.
