Setting off for a business trip to India no longer means wading through paperwork at a consulate. Many travellers now sort everything from home, and the Indian e-Business Visa covers purposes ranging from attending technical meetings to recruiting staff or joining trade fairs. Once approved, it stays valid for a full year, allowing multiple entries, though each individual visit must stay under a hundred eighty days. Paid employment isn't permitted under this category. Applicants typically prepare a photo, passport bio page, business card, and an invitation letter from a recognised Indian company before submitting the form and paying online. Those needing a quicker turnaround can opt for expedited processing at an added cost.
