India – Employment Visa without Indian Employment ... - Visum.de

1 invitation letter from the Indian business partner is required (a clearly legible fax copy is sufficient). The
invitation must include all the details also required in the employee transfer letter. It is urgently recommended that
the two accompanying letters (invitation and employee transfer letter) are drafted with identical content. It should
be mentioned that the required activity cannot be achieved by an Indian citizen.
1 copy of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Indian partner company must be attached
Contractual papers: copy of the contract between the German company and the Indian company in which
the provision of personnel is agreed. These contracts must include the following details: traveler’s name, duration
of visit, detailed description of work to be performed and exact details of place of work, working hours, salary,
payment of tax, travel expenses, and project name. The desired visa validity period must also be mentioned.
Qualification certificates: copies of the applicant’s specialist certificates. The decision on the visa validity period
issued lies with the competent consulate. In order to obtain a 1-year visa, it is recommended that all submitted
documents correspondingly state this same validity period. Should the corresponding details in these documents
differ, the consulate will foreseeably only approve the minimal validity period.
The consular missions of India reserve the right to demand additional documents, depending on the respective
case.
Important: the place of work is registered in the visa. Hence the visa is only valid for this place of work. In the
event of a new place of work, a new employment visa must also be applied for.

The consular missions of the republic of India have reported that holders of an employment visa must
have themselves registered by the FRRO in India. We recommend that all travelers ask about the
corresponding formalities and deadlines immediately on arrival since the registration regulations may
change continuously and procurement of the documents required for registration may take several
days. In this connection, please note the special information on registration with the FRRO.
