Learn moreFor Indians in United Kingdom
Indians in the United Kingdom use records from India for visa and settlement applications to the Home Office, professional registration, marriage registration and OCI. We4NRI works from Chennai and prepares the Indian side of your file. We also look after property that sits empty in India while you work in the UK. We are not a government body. The Home Office, the Indian High Commission and other offices decide each case.
Time zone note
The UK is 4.5 to 5.5 hours behind India, and the gap changes when clocks change. Midday in London is usually late afternoon or early evening in Chennai, so lunchtime calls work well.
