Working in India
The type of visa needed is determined by the type of travel and the duration of stay for the foreign national who will be working in India.
There are two main types of business-related visas for travel to India: the Business Visa and the Employment Visa.
If you’re planning on sending an employee to India for the purpose of attending business meetings, you’d generally apply for a Business Visa.
Employment Visas are for individuals who will be traveling to India to complete work-related activities for a company registered in India. If you have an Indian registered company, or you have or plan to merge with or acquire an India-based company, it can be confusing to determine which visa you should apply for.
Processing times vary based on the type of visa, so your company should make sure to include visa application processing time when thinking about sending employees abroad to work in India.
