As a foreigner, I would like to marry an Indian national. Can we marry under the Hindu Marriage Act? If not, can you help get me a visa extension for at least 60 days so we can get married under the Special Marriage Act?

A.Dear Client,
For any foreigners married to Indians, you can get an Entry visa (X) through any of the FRROs in India. It is mandatory that the marriage has taken place in India. This visa doesn’t give you any rights to be employed or do business, but your stay can be long term. You can get married under the provisions of the Special Marriage Act, 1954.
Thank you!
