Dear All.
We are a US based Company in Contract research. We are planning to recruit somebody at director level in India who would be a Foreign National Origin. Since we are not finding desired expertise in India because of the lack of people at senior level for the desired position.
Can you help me with following questions.
1. Can we employ any Foreign Nationals?
2. What is the Visa requirement and whom to contact?
3. Are there any special Visa requirements for visiting foreign Nationals in India who carry out project specific work and stay for more than a month?
I would be very happy to know your responses and links supporting the informations.
Thanks and Best regards
Vikrant

Dear Vikrant,
From top of my head, i can advise that Yes, a company can hire a expatriate on two scenarios i.e. as Employee or Consultant/Advisor. In both the situations their contract and job descritpion will assist for taxation purpose. the Visa could be a small time business visit or as employee visa. The person can apply to its nearest high commission, embassy and submit a request for both the categories with supporting documents i.e. appointment letter, invitation letter & any declaration required by the official.
Please ensure that the contract your company signs is full proof and indeminifies your company from any liabilities arising after hiring a expatriate.
Upon grant of visa he/her will have to get registered at the nearest police station or FRRO office in your city which is compulsory for any foreigner residing in country for more than 14 days. A resident employee is laible for taxation if he/she stays in country more than 180 days however, this rule is country specific and depends on the tax treaty with India (if any).
There are other more compliances too, however, if you need more assitance send me a mail on
Hope this gives you a fair idea on your queries. Thanks Prameet.

I am with a US MNC in India and we have been inviting expats - PIOs or foreign nationals to head our operations in India even upto Chairman level and the procedure followed is viewed religiously to avoid any complications or hassles to them or their families. I have to similar care for their family members too especially children undergoing schooling, spouses professional engagement, donations or contributions made by them to local charitable trusts, etc., etc. This needs a liaison with the Embassey involved, nearest Police station, Home Ministry at New Delhi, etc.
On top of this, if they are eligible to get any compensation being a Director of a company registered under the Companies Act 1956 in India, then their salary, compensation needs to be approved by the Department of Company Affairs.
If you need any support, please feel free to write to me at
Wish you all the best.
