A Business Visa is given to those who are doing business in India such as making sales or establishing contacts on behalf of a company outside of India. Business visas may be valid for three months to one year or more with single or multiple entries. However, the period of stay in India (for each visit) under this category is limited to six months only.
Please note that the validity of the visa begins from the date of issue by the High Commission of India and not from the date of travel on your application form.
Those who are applying to work for an Indian company should apply for an Employment Visa.
Please note that the duration of the visa is at the sole discretion of the Issuing Authority. All visa fees once paid are non-refundable irrespective of the outcome of the visa application and duration granted.
It is important that each letter from the company in India, as well as the one in the UK, must be addressed correctly – otherwise, the application cannot be accepted.
