Après plusieurs séjours en Inde en tant que touriste, je suis sur le point de rentrer en France.
Je travaille dans l'immobilier sur Paris depuis plusieurs années et nous avons plusieurs clients étrangers que nous guidons lorsqu'ils veulent investir à Paris.
Mon entreprise souhaite m'envoyer en Inde pour démarcher des clients sur place. Je voudrais savoir si il est compliqué d'obtenir un business visa ? J'ai déjà vu toutes les formalités sur le site de VFS et les conditions mais ce qu'ils ne disent pas évidement c'est si cela est facile à obtenir ou pas ? Quelqu'un pourrait-il témoigner ?
Nous avons aussi pensé à créer une société en Inde qui pourrait m'employer sur place, et demander un employment visa est-possible ou tout à fait utopique ?
J'aimerais beaucoup avoir des témoignages de personnes qui ont déjà vécu ce genre d'expérience.
Je connais plusieurs personnes en Inde dont beaucoup ont des relations importantes mais je ne pense pas que se soit vraiment utile ?
Merci de votre aide car sur le forum il y a beaucoup d'infos contradictoires. 😕
Bonjour mon ami.
oui, c'est assez simple d'obtenir un visa touristique de 1 an . il suffit de motiver sa demande en Anglais , sur une feuille blanche avec la demande de visa.
pour le visa professionnel c'est faisable par le biais de votre agence sur place en Inde. il faut figurer votre nom sur l'entreprise qui vous embauche. AINSI VOUS POUVEZ avoir un visa de 1,3,5 ans !! c'est dailleurs ce que je vais faire cet hiver avec Indiaworldtravel agence de voyage a Jaipur . J'en serais le correspondant pour la france. n'hesitez pas à me recontacter.
A markethon : Merci pour ta réponse ! Je ne souhaite pas de visa touristique d'un an car je ne veux pas avoir de problème ensuite avec les autorités, à moins que tout le monde fasse cela ?
Quand au visa business ou employment, je n'ai pas encore d'agence sur place c'est justement pour cela que je veux me rendre en Inde pour une longue durée, afin de voir ce qu'il est possible de faire et si je peux ouvrir une agence à Delhi, Mumbai ou Kolkata.
Est ce que quelqu'un sait si il possible pour moi de créer une société en Inde qui pourrait par la suite devenir devenir filiale de ma société française et surtout si cela peut m'aider ou pas ?
Ca ne me dérange pas de sortir du pays tous les 90 jours mais j'ai lu que désormais dans le cadre du business visa c'est tous les 30 jours qu'il faut sortir, ce qui n'est pas franchement simple...
Merci pour vos messages.
Non je confirme. J'ai moi même un Visa touristique d'un an pour la 3 eme année consécutive . Je n'ai jamais eu de problème pour rester 3 mois. Et je répète pour le Visa prof , c'est faux concernant l'info de retour au bout de 30 jours!!! Il faut simplement avec un "correspondant " sur place. Mais si tu as personne sur place et qu'il s'agit d'une création , alors ça sera très très complique .
Alors ça y est finalement j'ai obtenu un Business Visa et je suis de retour en Inde, je m'installe à Pondicherry. J'ai encore beaucoup de questions et la première d'entre elle est de savoir si quelqu'un connait de bons contacts pour louer une maison à Pondi ? J'ai déjà contacté des personnes mais je suis preneur de tout ce qu'on voudra me donner ! 😄
Ensuite, j'ai obtenu un Visa Business avec l'exemption de quitter le pays tous les 30 jours, je dois le faire tous les 90 jours, je voulais savoir si je suis obligé d'aller m'inscrire au FFRO ?? J'ai eu plusieurs avis discordants sur la question et je voudrais avoir une réponse...
Merci pour votre aide !
Bonjour,
Peux tu brièvement me décrire les démarches effectuées pour l'obtention du business visa ?
D'après ce que je sais tu dois aller t'inscrire au FFRO.
D'après ce que j'ai put lire sur Internet et même sur le site du gouvernement indien, il n'est pas obligatoire de s'inscrire au FRRO si notre séjour ne dépasse pas 180 jours et comme dans le cadre de notre visa nous devons quitter le pays tous les 90 jours, je vais quand même aller au bureau d'immigration la semaine prochaine, en attendant je suis preneur de toutes les infos que vous aurez.
Kermit : Pour l'obtention d'un Business Visa c'est très bien expliqué sur le site de VFS et il y a la liste des missions justifiant l'obtention de ce type de visa. Il faut que ta boite en France soit invitée par une boite indienne à venir dans le cadre d'une mission définie. Il faut un bilan comptable simplifiée de la boite française, la lettre mission de la société française et la lettre d'invitation de la société indienne, je ne sais pas si j'oublie pas quelque chose mais sur le site de VFS tu auras tout. Normalement un businness visa t'oblige à quitter l'Inde tous les 30 jours (même pour 24h), tu peux demander une exemption à cette règle, un autre formulaire est nécessaire.
Alexinindia, es-tu sûr que le visa business t'autorise à ré-entrer en Inde quelle que soit la durée de ton absence? A la limite, est-ce qu'un aller-retour au Sri-Lanka sur l'après-midi est suffisante (je vais partir à Chennai avec un visa business et limitation à 30 jours).
Pour l'avoir pratiqué à de très nombreuses reprises ces derniers mois, OUI le Business Visa te permet de revenir en Inde à n'importe quel moment après ton départ sans considération de durée comme pour le visa tourist. Cependant je dois t'avouer que je n'ai pas tenté l'aller-retour dans l'après-midi, ma plus courte absence du territoire indien a été de 24h. Je ne sais pas si ça fonctionne aussi pour quelques heures.

A tout hasard, une bouee lancée dans le forum. Nous envisageons de nous expatrier en Inde du Sud dans les années à venir, mais nous bloquons sur une difficulté…
After living for many years in the West (Belgium, Italy, Switzerland),
I’ve decided to return and settle in Cameroon, my home country.
Currently an entrepreneur in real estate and transport, I’m looking for a partner / partners / foundation to collaborate on an agriculture project, as I own 10 hectares of land.
The hectares have remained unused for years due to a lack of financial means, since the project requires what I’d call a considerable investment. As the main stakeholder, I have a minimal contribution to offer.
I believe it’s time to bring this space to life to meet pressing needs and serve the common good of society.
The project is simple:
1) Grow maize + build a processing plant to produce flour
2) Open a mini supermarket + a modern bakery using the flour for pastries, etc.
3) Build a healthcare service
4) Build a nursery and primary school
5) Construct free housing for retired expatriates in exchange for their voluntary contributions in their respective fields.
This is a project I truly believe in, and I invite anyone interested to add their personal touch—whether through advice, guidance, or involvement.
Note: This project has national and international potential in terms of employment.
Hi everyone, my son’s school is offering him a one-month Erasmus trip to Ireland, but he has to find a junior cycle school that will accept him and a host family on his own. Honestly, we’re struggling—we’ve contacted two schools and haven’t heard back! If you have any leads...
What price should I expect to pay for a modest small apartment or a large room in a bedroom community in Quito? Are restaurants and food expensive? And which airline is best to travel from Montreal? Thanks for your answers
I’m considering moving to Miami to live and work for a few years.
If anyone knows what the administrative formalities are—both for getting a work permit and for the steps and reputable organizations to contact (since I imagine there are scammers in this space) when buying a studio in Miami or Miami Beach—I’d love any info you can share!
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has already had the experience of working abroad?
I don’t have a specific country in mind yet, so I’m open to hearing about your experiences on this topic—the pros and cons, etc.
Hi there!
I’m a young Malian looking to work in Morocco. Besides a passport, what other documents are required at the **Moroccan** border?
Thanks for your help!
Hi there. I’m planning to move to Luxembourg around December 2025 or January 2026. I’ll be looking for a job and settling in. My question is: is it too complicated to find housing? Is the job market more advantageous and easier than in France? I’m open to any information that could help me.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences about marrying a Cuban and moving to Cuba (not the other way around!). Yes, some of us actually *want* to stay on the island! Is it possible to work there without too much hassle, or is it really complicated?
I’m heading to Bangkok for a 5-month internship, and I’m wondering about the budget because I’ve read all sorts of things—so I decided to post here to get answers tailored to my situation! :D
I found housing that costs me 7,000 baht (I know it’s a bit pricey, but it’s super convenient...), which works out to about 160 € all-inclusive. So, I was wondering if it’s realistic to live on 500 or 600 € per month, and if so, under what conditions? Is that enough, considering I’ll be working 40 hours a week?
Thanks in advance for your replies—I hope they’ll reassure me!
WEP offers loads of different projects, including one I really like: helping and volunteering on a farm, particularly in South America (Peru or Argentina).
I’d love to know if anyone has tried this project or knows someone who has... or has done something similar? I’d like to get some feedback before diving into the adventure.
If so, could you share your thoughts on the project, any tips, etc.?
Hi there,
Our departure time is getting closer (we have less than 2 years left—it’s both a long time and so short!). To start preparing seriously, we’ll need quite a bit of info. If anyone knows the rates charged by movers for a crate to French Polynesia, or what pitfalls to avoid (I know you can get quotes directly from movers, but I’d love insights from actual customers😉).
Are there any special requirements before leaving France (aside from taxes...)?
Thanks to everyone for your help—every bit of info is useful. We’re aiming for a departure around 06/2010 (just need to save up a little more...).
Thanks again!
Hi, I’m a self-employed physiotherapist in France, and as my wife (a nurse) and I look into working abroad in about two years, I’ve been offered an equivalence to become a respiratory physiotherapist in Switzerland. Actually, I’m currently doing a postgraduate diploma in pediatric respiratory physiotherapy and want to specialize in that area. Anyway, that’s not the main point—could anyone explain the pros and cons of doing this job in Switzerland? Based on the paperwork I’ve received, the equivalence seems purely administrative or almost... What about working conditions, quality of life, salaries, etc.?
Thanks for your replies.
PS: Same question for my wife, a nurse, regarding her integration.
I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia. I’m currently a childminder in a MAM (multi-accueil) and I’ve also worked for about 6 years in several daycare centers as a childcare assistant.
In the summer of 2026, my husband is being transferred to New Caledonia. We’ll be living near Nouméa. Do you know if the early childhood sector is a good field for jobs there?
Can’t wait to discover this island! Right now, we’re in the middle of all the administrative paperwork for our 3 kids, finding housing, bringing our cat to the territory, and so on!
Thanks for your feedback!!
Hi there,
I’ve been living in Bali for a month now, but unfortunately on a VOA visa. I’m looking for a European company that’s set up in Indonesia. I’m in electrotechnical maintenance—air conditioning, cold rooms, 220V/380V electricity. I’ve been a tradesperson for 3 months and can bring my full professional toolkit. If anyone’s interested, let me know!
You can send me a message.
Best regards,
I’d love to go to Japan to travel, and if things go well, work there too.
Has anyone tried finding a job there? Is it even possible without speaking Japanese?
I’m thinking of starting out in restaurants (dishwashing or serving) and then moving into my field, IT.
I’d like to move to Spain, specifically to Málaga.
To do that, I’d like to know if I’ll need any official documents from France to work there, or anything like that...
I’d also love to hear from people who’ve moved to Spain for work—do Spaniards like the French? Is it hard to fit in? What are the salary ranges for a ready-to-wear salesperson? And is it easy to find housing?
My partner and I currently live in Antibes—we’re both freelancers working remotely. We’re thinking about potentially moving to Italy.
We’d like to settle near the French border, between Ventimiglia and San Remo (this is important because we need access to Nice Airport twice a month). ✈️
I’d love to hear about life in this region! We’re looking for a quiet spot close to the sea. Any recommendations? As for the paperwork, is it difficult to get everything official? Is finding housing tough in this area? What kind of guarantees are usually required? If any kind soul could shed some light on this, we’d really appreciate it! 🥺🏻
I'm looking for an au pair who'd like to come to Bournemouth in the south of England, and I'd love to know what the best websites are to find one, please.
I’d like to get some information about my eligibility for the DV Lottery.
About my background:
• I earned a *Bac Pro* through VAE (*Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience*), issued by the *Éducation nationale*.
• I also have a professional certification as a *Conseiller en Insertion* (Employment Counselor), issued by the Ministry of Labor.
• Altogether, this adds up to a *Bac+2* level.
I’d like to know if this level qualifies me to apply for the DV Lottery.
Regarding my work experience:
• I work as an *Employment Counselor*.
• I checked on O*Net Online for the classification: Job Zone 4, SVP Range: 7.0 – <8.0.
• I only have one year of experience, but I handle similar tasks in business creation.
So my question is: can I apply for the DV Lottery despite my relatively short experience, given that my job falls under Job Zone 4?
I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles?
We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?
Starting this spring, we want to settle near Aix-en-Provence. We're tired of living in the mountains with all the snow—we really need some sunshine and a fresh start. Is it hard to find a house to rent there? What about prices? If you have any great tips or useful info about the area, we’d love to hear it. I work in education and want to do prevention work in Marseille or Aix—are there jobs in the social sector?
Anyway, we need tons of info, but we’re sure we’re going to take the leap—no hesitation, adventure is adventure!!!
Thanks for your help and any experiences you can share.
I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin.
I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well:
I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers?
First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand?
Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath. I’m thinking that in Thailand, the medical field is much more open than in Europe!!! Has anyone seen an osteopath or chiropractor working in a Thai hospital? Do you know the price of a consultation?
Any info you can share will be super helpful! Thanks in advance[;)!!!]
Hello everyone,
We’re a small family from the south of France, with a 2-year-old little boy, and we’re dreaming of starting a new adventure abroad by opening our own business. For now, we haven’t chosen a specific destination yet.
We mainly speak French, with a basic level of Spanish and English, and we’re ready to improve these two languages if needed. We’re looking for a multicultural, safe country with quality healthcare and good schools accessible for our son. We’d also love a pleasant place with a mild climate where life is good.
Our idea is to travel to different countries to explore, compare, and refine our project. We’d be really happy to read your tips, experiences, or anecdotes if you’ve already undertaken a similar project or if you know key points to anticipate.
Thanks in advance for your shares and help—it would really help us move forward with our project! 😄
Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Dublin as an au pair in a few weeks.
I’m looking for a reputable language school. It’s so hard to choose! Has anyone already done a language stay in Dublin? Any tips? Thanks so much! :)
Hi everyone, so I’m planning to go study at a community college in the U.S., but the only snag is which one—there are so many options over there! I’ve heard about one in California, Diablo Valley College, and another in Florida, Valencia College. I know both states are super attractive for tourism, but my main criteria are teaching quality and price. I’m open to any advice, comments, or suggestions—thanks in advance! The start of the semester is coming up, and I’m a little nervous...
READY, SET...... GO...... TO YOUR KEYBOARDS!!!!!!!! lol
Hi! I’m looking for an apartment in Malaga from September (2025) until January for my Erasmus exchange, but I’m not finding much, and it seems like there are a lot of scams. Does anyone have any leads or tips? Thanks!^^
