If you leave for good the country as we will on Saturday, the exit visa procedure has to be followed. There is not too many documents, which have to be collected the only interesting thing again is, that nobody really knows what is required. Let me therefore summarize here, what is required to exit India from a legally acceptable perspective.
First of all a Non Objection Certificate from the Tax Authorities is required, which states that you have been a good tax payer in India. With this NOC plus a letter from your employer, that your time is over, you need to go for an appointment to the Foreign Registration Office (FRRO) with these documents plus your passport. Once there they will tell you, that they will send a letter to the airport authorities anticipating, that you leave the country.
At the time the last exit on the basis of the residence permit you have to just hand over your residence permit to the officer at the immigration counter. This piece of information we still have to verify, because it will only happen next week, but I am sure, they let us go one way or another.

We have safely reached our next destination. The exit was not spectacular at all. I just mentioned to the immigration officer at the usual airport counters, that I am now leaving for good the country and we don't need our visas anymore. The only thing he did was collecting all the visas we gave to him and put more stamps than usual into our passports. The later could just be my imagination :)

Wow! I had no idea there was an exit visa and another trip FRRO (I hate that place).
Best of luck in the next season of your life!

Hi,
I was just thinking of setting up a chennai expat blog and came across this. What an amazing resource, thanks very much. I was also worried about how to LEAVE when my time comes.
I don't relish the idea of another FRRO vist.... it took me 10 times to register so god knows how I'll leave!
Thanks again, I'm sorry I only discover this blog as you are leaving!

Corrupted, senseless, rude, chaotic, and mismanaged Foreign Regional Registration Office on the earth (CHENNAI)
There are many more words that I can explain about Chennai FRRO staff’s negative actions with foreign national who goes there to get their legal immigration process.
Every day foreigners in need to obtain their legal immigration permit visit Chennai FRRO with hope and confident at least they will operate with bare minimum office standards, but there is neither a designated public toilet nor a small tap for drinking water. Every person goes there wait minimum 3 hours on their every visit and most individuals made to go there three to five times to obtain their final permits.
Recently when we have visited FRRO Chennai, noticed that the ways of officer’s attitude towards every applicant is negative, unless people sprinkle some rupees for their expensive cell phone purchase or we have to behave in front of the FRRO staff like slaves of India, then the staff will be happy and process the application at least after due date.
Never want to visit FRRO/Chennai again.
