Who can get an employment visa in India?

The minimum salary threshold for an employment visa is a remuneration of ₹1,625,000 per annum or its equivalent (approximately US25,000 per year), including cash payments and taxable perquisites. This threshold aims to confirm that the position occupied by a foreign worker is specialized and not easily found in the local job market.

Salary Threshold & Duration

Change of employer is usually not allowed within the visa period. It is only permissible in exceptional cases of joining registered holding companies, joint ventures, or their subsidiaries, and in the case of managerial, senior executive, or technical expert, at the discretion of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). During the application, the targeted legal entity and work location in India should be stated clearly.

The maximum duration of employment visa is 5 years/period of contract, after which you can extend if your companies allow you to work. For a contract role, it is issued on a one-year basis or the term of the assignment, whichever is shorter. In case of continuation of the assignment, extensions can be requested within India.
