There are many types of Indian visas, and all visas are used for their unique purposes. You need to know about them so you can have knowledge about their specific uses. One of these visas is the Employment Visa, which is highly important for individuals planning to work in India on a long-term basis. Here at FarGoWorldWide, we are dedicated to providing assistance and information regarding the FRROÂ in India.
Employment Visa holders who are traveling to India need to register their visa with the FRRO within 14 days of arrival in India. If you miss the registration process, it can create trouble for you, and you will need to pay a penalty for late registration of the Visa.
The registration processing time is 2 to 3 weeks, but it also depends on your company and organization type and your application filing. After getting a registration certificate from the FRRO, you can apply for a PAN card and open a bank account in India.
A foreigner who is on an Employment Visa and wants to extend it needs to apply for FRRO Visa Extension at least 3 to 4 weeks before the visa expiry to avoid challenges and noncompliance in India. FRRO grants an extension on E-1 Visa as per their contract with the company. If your project is ongoing and your company needs your help, you can renew your contract and provide it to FRRO.
FRRO Visa Registration and Extension is granted by the e-FRRO (Foreign Regional Registration Offices) in India. It’s an online process that usually takes 3 to 4 weeks.

This visa is generally valid for a year, apart from the duration or time limit of the contract. However, there are other options through which you can extend your visa for up to 5 years or more. However, that entirely depends on the officials. FRRO E-1 Visa Extension can apply to extend the 1 year Visa in India.
It Cannot be converted to any other visa during the stay Except in the following circumstances in India. Â
An Employment Visa can be converted into an Entry Visa if an Employment Visa Holder marries an Indian Passport holder during the Visa Validity and does not want to continue their work in India. An Entry Visa Holder cannot do any business, employment, or study in India during the stay in India. For Employment Visa Conversion into an Entry (X) Visa, the following are mandatory documents:Â Â
