A business visa is a type of visa that allows a foreign national to travel to India for business purposes. This type of visa is usually issued to individuals who are traveling to a country for business meetings, business negotiations, training, consulting, or to establish a business presence in the country.
It is important to note that the business visa does not allow the visa holder to engage in paid employment in India. If the visa holder wishes to work in the destination country, he or she may need to obtain a work permit or another appropriate type of visa.
The India business visa is intended for travel for business purposes. Permitted activities for a business visa holder may include:
- Attend business meetings: This may include meetings with business partners, customers or suppliers.
- Attend conferences (not speakers), seminars and trainings: Business visa holders can attend professional events to learn new skills or keep up with the latest trends and developments in their field.
