PIO Cardholders, please Note!

All PIO Cardholders    are advised to obtain machine readable OCI Cards in lieu of their existing hand written PIO Cards as from October 2018 onward the International Civil Aviation Organization will accept only machine readable travel documents.

Please be advised that all existing PIO Cards are handwritten and therefore, will become invalid travel documents from October 2018 onward.  Hence it is necessary for PIO cardholders to obtain machine readable OCI Cards in lieu of existing hand written PIO cards before October 2018 to avoid any inconvenience.

Please be also advised that the existing PIO Cards can be converted into machine readable OCI Cards on Gratis basis till 31st  December 2017.
