Immigration Lawyers

With globalization, individuals must migrate to other countries to create better economic, political, and social stability. People of every religion and culture live together in India, which is also a center of attraction for many immigrants from other countries. Immigration can be defined as the movement of individuals from one country to another for long-term settlement. One of the most common issues immigrants faces is obtaining citizenship in the country where they wish to travel and reside. This includes the challenge of availing the fundamental rights of the country to which the persons have migrated. Several laws and policies regarding immigrants have been enacted addressing these issues. In India, provisions of the Constitution of India govern immigration laws.

2.    The rules are mentioned under certain visa policies while applying for a visa in India. If a foreign national violates those rules while living in India, he becomes eligible for action.
3.    Foreigners Act 1946 is applicable in India. In which the amendment was done in 1962. Under this, the Government of India can get the citizens of any country coming to India to fill the bond as per the requirement. For this, that foreign citizen may also have to cite a local citizen. This happens only when the government wants to do so. Action can be taken against the citizen given the bond if he violates the visa policy or other Indian laws.
A foreign national guilty of violating visa rules in India can face imprisonment and a fine. The foreign national can be sentenced to imprisonment for a maximum of 5 years if found guilty. Along with this, a financial penalty can also be imposed on him. In some cases, the guilty can get both imprisonment and a monetary penalty.
