India Business Visa

India Business visas allow applicants to visit India for the purposes of business. The visa allows business activity across all states in India excluding Sikkim and Andoman. The processing times for an India business visa are no different then a India tourist visa, with the only exceptions being the requirements. A letter from the host company will be required on their headed paper. The letter needs to include the India visa applicants name. A letter from the employers company is required as well, stating the nature of the business.

Various types of business visas are available, ranging from 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year. These can be single, double or multi entry India business visas. There are usually limits on how long you can stay in India.
