    Carang, yes, I mean twice a year for 3 months duration on each visit, even it works out for once a year for a 3 months visit that should be fine, I can manage, even I can go to India and see them. I think I should be ok as per your response.

    Thanks a lot to all you guys, you all have been very helpful.

    Agreed that everyones circumstances are different. If you are forunate (or unfortunate in my books) enough to have your parents visit all the time, then great. My comment was quite general but really directed at Shankar to let him know that sacrifices need to be made.

    I think we all make sacrifices to lead an expat life, no? Even those here for "shorter term assignments" need to put their life on hold for a while.

    OP is an adult and i am sure he knows what life is all about.


    @Shankar,
    as few of them have already pointed out,3 months visa will not be a problem.don't worry.
    but i am not too sure if it will be easy to get another 3 month visa in the same year.
    you'll have to try it out and see for yourself.
    wish you all the best with the move!

    Shankar, if you do go ahead and have your parents apply for the extended visitor visa, do come back here and tell of your experience - it could be useful for others.
