Entering India with a visa even though I previously overstayed as a visitor

Accepted answer

If you already have a visa, chances are, you will be allowed to enter the country without a problem.

I haven't heard about any official refugee protection scheme in India. I am a Sri Lankan too and I stayed in Sri Lanka during the war era. It's unlikely that you will be able to negotiate the overstay to a refugee protection or something similar.

Having overstay records in the past is not necessasarily preventing you from entering that country. But the officers will be a little more careful when reviewing your immigrant paperwork.

Enjoy your wedding and I wish you both a very happy wedded life!
