Dear client, Marriage to an Indian citizen, as per the provisions of the Special Marriage Act of 1954, is possible if you have a valid passport and visa. Marriage, however, does not grant you citizenship. You need to fulfill the requirements specified under Section 5 of the Indian Citizenship Act, 1955, which states that the applicant should be an ordinary resident of India for a specified period, which is seven years. Once you have obtained the visa status, if you are an ordinary resident of India, then you can register for Indian citizenship.

You can marry an Indian citizen under the Special Marriage Act, 1954 with a valid passport and visa. Marriage does not automatically make you an Indian citizen. Under the Citizenship Act, 1955, you must legally live in India for the required years before applying. First get proper visa status, then apply for citizenship when eligible.
