How long after obtaining another citizenship does India invalidate your nationality? While the entry document will still be valid, will you still have Indian citizenship?
Thanks a lot for this... my Indian citizenship becomes invalid upon obtaining British citizenship, but the official advice states that the passport is valid for three months further to enable travel whilst the new country's passport arrives.

At the enrollment center, state that your citizenship changed, so you need to update your citizenship and entry documents. You can then provide your British passport. Upon renewal, the process will be whatever it is for British citizens.
* Alternatively, you could ask if they are processing enrollments on arrival to the update, but I imagine they'd direct you to the enrollment center.
Great thanks, will ask the offer at arrival or landside as applicable as I'll be landing into LAX.
