The India Business eVisa is an electronic visa for business or commercial travel to India. It is delivered by email and linked to the passport number.
It covers business meetings, setting up an industrial or business venture, sales and purchase talks, recruiting, trade fairs and exhibitions, and technical or expert engagements. Local salaried employment is not allowed.
Who needs it
- Most business travellers are eligible.
- Every traveller, including minors, needs a separate application and own passport; endorsement on a parent's or spouse's passport does not qualify.
- A sightseeing-only trip needs the Tourist eVisa instead; a job with an Indian employer needs an Employment Visa.
