Visa Matters

In her New Year address to the community, the Secretary clarified that out of the 1065 recommendation letters that had been issued, 993 had been issued for the period requested by the applicant. Another 66 had been given for a period of one year, and in two cases it had been done for three months. In about 5-6 months, when the systems are in place, it should be possible to issue visa recommendation letters almost immediately.

Later, the Foundation office announced that from the 23rd January 2023 the recommendation letters for visa extension, registration and letters of recommendation for abroad would be available at the Auroville Residents Service (RS) office, meaning that people would not have go to the Auroville Foundation office for the letters any more.
