" I think the same rule would apply for the 10 year visa permit on one page of an old passport. I wish they had a way to re-stamp that on the new passport. " ----- If you are talking about a US passport and a ten year Indian visa, yes you can get it transferred to a new passport by paying a fee to the visa office. It takes a day. I had it done.

The tip to carry the old passport along with it, is a good one. Yes, it would take just a second to find 'not enough/proper information' for the airport officials to send me back and all my vacation time, money and eagerness/enthusiasm to visit "home" will be exhausted in seconds and would have to wait a year for another trip. I think the same rule would apply for the 10 year visa permit on one page of an old passport. I wish they had a way to re-stamp that on the new passport. About reporting to the police in India, do you have to do that for short visits as well? I have never stayed back longer than 6 months and reported to the police. It is a nuisance, especially in some places where even they wouldn't know what to do with it and make things unnecessarily complicated. You know how it works. I am glad I just have to do that in Assam or in Chennai - not Delhi or Bihar. Again, thanks for your note, as always.
