Visa for Infant

SA Permits is full of nonsense. Normally, every child born in SA automatically should be issued SA ID. It is pitty that ANC hijacked everything.

If the child was born in South Africa to Indian parents, they should have registered the child with the Indian consulate as soon as possible to ensure that she or he is considered an Indian citizen.  Once registered, getting a passport should be the same as it is for an adult.

Thanks for your reply. Yes we are in the process of the getting the passport. Problem is that my sister wants to come back for some urgent work to india and then return to SA. For my sister it is not a problem as she has dependent visa, but for kid it will be just indian passport and there my question come. Should they apply for dependent visa or when she is coming back she can apply for dependent/tourist visa for the kid.

Thanks

If the child has an Indian passport, there should be no problem going to India.  A registered infant should already be on the mother's or father's dependent visa.
