Convert your PIO card to an OCI card smoothly with Matrix Solutions.
We handle your full application process, document preparation, and VFS appointment booking — ensuring a stress-free and error-free experience.
As of 1 January 2026, PIO cards are no longer accepted as valid travel documents for entry into India. If you still hold a PIO card, you must either convert to an OCI card or obtain an appropriate Indian visa before travelling.
- Do not travel using only a PIO card – boarding/entry may be refused.
- Recommended: Apply for OCI conversion for long-term use.
- Urgent travel: Apply for an Indian visa if OCI is not ready in time.
