India impresses with its colours, exotic beauty, cultural diversity, smiling people, and vivid life. At the same time, every year the country becomes more promising for employment, and attracts foreign specialists, especially in the IT field. The country's economy has recovered from the pandemic and is confidently on the road to reviving. Today, many new companies are opening in India, and industry and other sectors are developing.

It is not too difficult for skilled migrant workers to find a good job in the country, but they may face certain obstacles. In particular, the government still strictly controls the situation in the field of employment of foreigners. However, by knowing the requirements for entering, staying, and working in the state, you can avoid difficulties and easily get a job. Read below how to move to India and start working there, what documents are needed, what you should do, and what conditions you should keep in mind.

What needs to be done to come to the country to get a job

Foreign nationals can look for jobs in India while staying directly in the country. But still, it is better to find a workplace first and relocate after that. You can search for vacancies on the relevant resources with announcements or the websites of Indian companies. If there is no suitable offer, contact recruitment agencies or recruiters. 

For employment in the country, foreigners must obtain a work visa and a work permit. You can deal with the preparation of documents yourself, or entrust this matter to the employer.

A work visa in India entitles foreigners to stay in the country from six months to five years. There are two main types of them:

• business visa;

• working visa.
