    About visa

    The Indian Business e-Visa (e-Business Visa) is intended for Georgian citizens traveling to India for business purposes. This includes business meetings, participation in trade fairs, sale/purchase of goods or services, establishment of an industrial or commercial enterprise, recruitment of personnel or conducting tours in India. This electronic category of Indian Visa significantly simplifies the application process as it can be completed entirely online, without visiting a consulate.

    The Indian Business e-Visa is usually issued with multiple entries and is valid for up to 1 year, although the duration of each visit should not exceed 180 days. It is important to note that this visa does not allow you to start working in India or obtain permanent residence. If your purpose is to study in India, you should choose a study visa , and if you are going to a conference, you will need a conference e-Visa . For tourism purposes, a tourist e-Visa is appropriate.

    The application process is relatively simple but requires detailed documentation, including an invitation letter from your Indian partner and your company registration documents. Unlike an Australian business visa , which often requires a physical visa sticker or detailed company sponsorship documentation, the Indian e-Visa is fully electronic and is sent to you electronically once approved. Similar to the Singapore Business Visa , the Indian e-Visa streamlines the procedures for short-term business visits.

    However, unlike the Canadian Business Visa , an in-person interview is often not required for an Indian e-Visa. Applicants must ensure that their passport is valid for at least six months from the date of arrival in India and has at least two blank pages. The GetVisa team can help you prepare your Indian Business e-Visa application, verify your documentation, and streamline the process to avoid common mistakes and increase your chances of approval.
