Hello everyone, Hope you all are doing well. I have a question: I am a PR and will be eligible for citizenship end of Nov'24. If i extend my PR card instead of applying for citizenship and move back to India, will i always be eligible to apply for citizenship? Lets say i decide to take citizenship in 2028 while I'm still a PR, can i do that sitting in India? TIA
