The PIO card validity saga continues... noticed this in TIMATIC ( https://www.emirates.com/de/english/...destination=in )

Visa required.

Visa Exemptions:

Passengers with a Person of Indian Origin (PIO) card.

Passengers with a Person of Indian Origin (PIO) card that expired after 9 January 2015.

Passengers with a Person of Indian Origin (PIO) card.
Also:

Warning:

[...]Passengers with a Persons of Indian Origin (PIO) Card must change their PIO status to Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) status before 31 December 2024. Effective from 1 January 2025, passengers with a Persons of Indian Origin (PIO) Card will not be allowed to enter.

Passengers with an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card must apply for a new Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card only once when they obtain a new passport after turning 20 years old.
So they have extended the deadline one 'last' time?
