Do I need a Work Permit or Visa to work in India?

Whilst Agility EOR does not generally “sponsor” Work Permits (this practice is not always compatible with the EOR/PEO model), we can generally support candidates needing Indian work permits.

Business visas (allowing for stays of up to six months in India on behalf of a non-Indian employer) and work visas (allowing for stays of up to one year in India) are the two most common types of visas in India. 

 

In order to work in India, foreign nationals need to obtain a work visa. If the employment contract is for more than five years, then an extension must be sought before the visa expires.
