For those applying for their India visa which will be used for business purposes, it is important to consider some very important frequently asked questions on business etiquette in India. Here are our list of FAQs for our India visa applicants.

What should I wear to the interview?

For men, it is advised for initial business meetings to wear a suit with a tie and shirt. Often certain parts of India can be incredibly hot, and a suitable may seem inpracticable, however most modern offices are air conditioned. Presentation is highly important in India, and therefore first impressions are absolutely essential. A suit with tie is a key. As the relationship stabilises, more formal dress can be worn. You can enter India as many times as you wish using a India business visa.

For women, it is recommended that you wear a formal suit, or if wearing a skirt, then you ensure it goes below knee height. Conservatism in a business environment is important, especially for women. This is key for India visa applicants.

What technique should be used if going for a meal with clients?

It is important to ensure a professional approach is always used. This includes when socialising with new business partners. Remember, in India, as most places in the world, social behaviours are also transferred to the work place. So for early stages in a relationship, you should avoid drinking too much. Meals are fine, however if having an Indian meal, if eating with the hands like the locals is too difficult, then simply stick to cutlery.

When should I apply for my India visa?

It is a good idea to apply for a 1 year multi entry visa about 2 weeks in advance. This will ensure that you have a buffer of several days so if there are any errors or additional documents required, then this can be provided. However, if you use our services, then you would be able to obtain your visa in 3 working days.
