For the benefit of anyone who may be following this discussion thread, since it has proven to be a relatively popular one, I am providing a couple of links regarding the acquisition of Indian Citizenship. (I can't, as yet, post links although I will divide them with spaces to make them appear to you. Paste them on your address bar and remove the spaces manually to make them valid.)
This is a synopsis of the Citizenship Act of 1955:
w w w . mha. nic. in / citizenship / acquire1 . h t m
This is a more detailed description of the same:
mha. nic . in / citizenship / acquisition . h t m
Relate this with the content of Gina's last link on Indian residency, and you will come to understand the points I brought forth in the post 3 replies back.
Regards,
Kain |

Hi Gina,
Thanks for getting back to me after making your research. Yes, it appears to be so. As for next moves with this fact in mind, it depends and needs rather careful scrutiny and prioritization. For me, since my main object was and is related with extensive interraction with monastic communities, an avaiallable choice would be approaching monastics and related institutions (of the appropriate creed) that are existant in Greece, or in Countries of the European Union. However, it should be noted at this point that there are actual cases of Europeans living in Indian monasteries as fully ordained monks, and am at the moment uncertain of how such a thing is fascilitated regarding visa issuing, rights of residency etc . It is a subject that requires further looking into, and it is possible that it may be related wth less standard procedures, involving personal interviews etc .
Since the issue of immigration to India for people of non-Indian origin is a rather popular topic however, I'd say that for all other general purposes, based on my understranding of the situation, one's move should rather be the looking for an appropriate employer offering a full-time job in India, it being the first step for the immigration to be ultimately fascilitated.
All the best,
Kain |

Since this topic, among other things, involved the issue of monasteries in India and available choices for a person of non-Indian origin with a desire to attend or be ordained (and the relevant visa issues related with this), the following is relevant and should be added here:
Extract from IMI website (www imisangha org / index html ) :
"People all over the world who want to practice the Buddhist path as a monk or nun have a place to be and a way to do that.
The International Mahayana Institute (IMI) is a community of Buddhist monks and nuns of the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT)"
Address details for IMI branch in Sera Je Monastery, Karnataka, South India:

Thank you for this very interesting and useful thread. I am considering spending a couple of years in India myself. It is a beautiful country with lots of opportunities and a booming economy (in spite of some naysayers that are predicting a crash/slowdown).
I am surprised that there aren't any standardized immigration regulations for EU-citizens - Gina being a Greek-citizen. Obviously the rules would be different for British nationals given the different relationship between the countries. |

|

Hello,
I am an American and am planning on moving to India by the end of the year. I would like the ability to stay 10-15 years. I work in advertising and would like to contribute to the booming Indian advertising scene. I am also interested in pursuing a Masters/PhD in India. What would the best way for me to get a longterm visa be?
Thank you very much! |
