Indian Immigration Audits

At LawQuest we do comprehensive assessment of risks related to the enforcement of India immigration laws, including potential corporate or individual legal sanctions and the possibility of business disruption and/or reputational damage flowing from India Central Government immigration and labour or local police inquiries, investigations or other actions in this area.

The Foreigners Act, 1946 and the Registration of Foreigners Act, 1939 regulate the conduct of foreign nationals in India in conjunction with the orders issued by Central Government pursuant to powers delegated under these statutes. The conditions of visa violations and overstays are dealt under Section 14 of the Foreigners Act, 1946. Eligibility and criteria for visa are published as binding guidelines by way of FAQs by the Ministry of Home Affairs on its website.

Travelers who visit India frequently or remain in India for extended periods with short stays abroad run the risk of regulatory action from the India governmental bodies, the Foreigners Registration Office/Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRO/FRRO), and the Bureau of Immigration (BoI). Misuse of visas could result in enforcement action by the Indian Central (Federal) Government. The risks apply both to the organization and the individual.
