Project Visa

The Project Visa is issued to foreign nationals executing specific projects in India's power, steel, infrastructure, and engineering sectors. It is project-specificโ€”the holder cannot engage in work outside the designated project or location. Ideal for employers hiring foreign technical staff for defined, time-bound assignments where local talent is unavailable. Valid for the project/contract duration with multiple-entry facility. Requires sponsorship from the Indian project company and evidence that specialized foreign expertise is needed. Registration with FRRO required within 14 days of arrival. Cannot be converted to other visa types.
