🇮🇳 Visas & Immigration — India

Visa Details

India offers a Business Visa for foreign nationals visiting for business activities, conferences, or board meetings (typically valid for 1–5 years with multiple entries, maximum stay of 180 days per visit). The Employment Visa is required for foreigners taking up employment in India, with a minimum salary threshold of USD 25,000 per annum. India does not have a dedicated startup visa, but the Startup India initiative facilitates incorporation and compliance for recognised startups. The e-Business Visa is available for short business visits. NRIs and PIOs benefit from the OCI (Overseas Citizen of India) card, which provides lifetime visa-free entry and the right to work in India.
