Traveling to India for meetings, trade, or a business venture?

Professionals heading to India for work-related purposes, whether attending trade fairs, setting up a venture, or recruiting staff, can apply through the Indian e-Business Visa entirely online. The category covers a wide range of activities, though it stops short of permitting paid employment within the country.

Applications need a business card and an invitation letter from a recognized Indian company alongside the usual passport scan and photograph. Once approved, the visa stays valid for a full year with multiple entries allowed, though any single stay exceeding one hundred eighty days requires registering with local authorities within two weeks. Urgent processing remains available for travelers working against a tight departure date, typically completing within one to three days for an added fee.
