If a foreign national overstays in India beyond their visa validity, they may face penalties, deportation, and possible restrictions on re-entering. The individual should report to the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) for exit clearance. It’s important to consult a lawyer for specific actions and guidance on how to exit India and return legally. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
