Where we come in
Five mistakes we often see.
Each one causes delays or complications that are avoidable with proper preparation.
Applying under the wrong visa category
The purpose of travel determines the correct category, and an incorrect choice can lead to refusal or later compliance problems.
Incomplete or inconsistent documentation
Missing or inconsistent supporting documents are among the most common reasons for delay or refusal.
Employers unaware of their compliance obligations
Sponsoring a foreign employee creates ongoing compliance duties for the employer, not just a one-time application.
Missing FRRO registration deadlines
Registration and reporting deadlines are strict, and missing them can create compliance issues that affect future applications.
Treating a refusal as final without review
Many refusals can be addressed through a corrected reapplication or, where available, an appeal, rather than simply abandoning the application.

Questions
Common questions.
General information only, not legal advice. Every situation differs, so speak to us about yours.
What visa category do I need?
This depends on the purpose and duration of your travel, whether employment, business, or another basis. We review your specific situation to confirm the right category.
Applying under the wrong category is a common and avoidable cause of delay.
What are our obligations as an employer sponsoring a foreign employee?
Employers typically have ongoing compliance and reporting obligations tied to the sponsored employee's visa status, not just responsibilities at the application stage.
We help you build a compliant process for this.
How do I apply for or renew OCI status?
The process involves specific documentation depending on your basis of eligibility. We guide you through preparation and submission.
Renewal and re-issuance have their own specific requirements we can help you navigate.
What is FRRO registration and who needs it?
Foreign nationals staying in India beyond a certain period are generally required to register with the Foreigners Regional Registration Office, with specific timelines that must be met.
We advise on whether this applies to your situation and help you meet the requirements.
Can you help if my visa application was refused?
Yes, we review the refusal reasons and advise on whether a corrected reapplication or an available appeal is the better path forward.
Many refusals stem from addressable documentation issues.
How much does this cost?
Fixed-fee packages are available for common applications like work visas or OCI matters. Corporate compliance and complex matters are scoped separately.
Fees are agreed in writing before work starts.
