India’s Ministry of Home Affairs has released a new Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) (pdf) concerning work-related visas. As previously discussed, the Ministry issued a separate FAQ on the same subject – business visas and employment visas – in October 2009. The most recent FAQ discusses 22 topics, including:
- the differences between business visas and employment visas;
- both visas’ eligibility criteria, duration, and required documentation;
- whether a business visa can be converted to an employment visa, and vice versa;
- which visas are required for Non-Governmental Organization workers; and
- which visas can be issued to family members of visa holders.
