"The Government has tightened the norms to issue
business visas to foreign nationals. It has come to the notice of the Government

Business Visa will be issued only to bonafide businessmen who want to visit India
to establish an industrial/business venture in India or who want to purchase/sell
industrial products or commercial products or consumer durables etc," Minister
