As we are living in an expanding, globalised world, many companies are doing business in places outside of the European Union in countries in Asia and the Middle East. From experience, we know that a popular location for business is now in India in big cities such as Mumbai, Kolkata and Delhi among others.
Business visas are intended for individuals who are coming to India to start business activity there, to research the market, to attend meetings of to attend training events in the Indian branch of their companies.
Expanding Business in India
In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of companies and businesses from around Europe looking to expand their work to countries in Asia such as India. Since the economic free-market reforms of the 1990s, there has been an economic revolution in India that has seen the country transformed by the emergence of the production of new electronic goods, new technologies and changing ways of life. It is one of the biggest producers of computer software and has a growing international business market. As a result of this, many more visa applications are processed every day for companies and individual business people who wish to work in India, for both short term business conferences and meetings, and for long term stays.
Short and Long Term Visas to India
Anyone wishing to enter India for either a work or tourist visit is required to have in their possession a national document confirming their identity, for example a National Passport, along with a valid visa obtained from an Indian Mission or Post abroad. This information along with other documentation needs to be submitted to the local Indian embassy for approval.
Here at Visaworld we understand how complicated and at times confusing the process can be when dealing with paperwork and administration. To help with this we have a team of experts in the visa application process who are able to guide you through the entire thing.
