BUSINESS  - A Business visa is strictly given those who are doing business in India such as making sales or establishing contacts on behalf of a company outside of India.

India Facts:  India is a triangular shaped country in southern Asia, buttressed by the long sweep of the Himalayas in the north and protruding into the Indian Ocean in the south.  India has a three-season year - the hot, the wet and the cool. The heat starts to build up on the northern plains around February and by April it becomes unbearable. While the monsoons which are huge rainstorms start to begin around the month of June. They help to cool things off throughout the country.  India's major religion, Hinduism, is practiced by approximately 80% of the population.

Register your trip on-line with the U.S. Embassy in this country.  Millions of Americans travel abroad every year and encounter no difficulties. However, U.S. embassies and consulates assist nearly 200,000 Americans each year who are victims of crime, accident, or illness, or whose family and friends need to contact them in an emergency. When an emergency happens, or if natural disaster, terrorism, or civil unrest strikes during your foreign travel, the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate can be your source of assistance and information. By registering your trip, you help the embassy or consulate locate you when you might need them the most. Registration is voluntary and costs nothing, but it should be a big part of your travel planning and security.
