Dear Residents Visa Holders,

We want to inform you that there is a change in the procedure for processing visas. This has been made possible by a collaboration between the Foundation Office (FO), the Residents Service and the Working Committee which we hope will make the process easier and better for all.

From the 23rd January 2023 the recommendation letters for visa extension, registration and letters of recommendation for abroad (LoR) will be available at the Auroville Residents Service office.

You don’t have to go to Auroville Foundation office for the letters any more, they will send the letters to Residents Service office directly.

When the RS receives the recommendation letters they will upload the details for FRRO and  contact you by email or by phone, otherwise you can contact the Residents Service directly land-line number 0413 2622191 in the mornings between 09:30am to 12:30pm.

Thank you.

With regards,

The Foundation office, The Auroville Residents Service, The Working Committee
