India seeks  to relax  visa  regulations  for  traders and  investors 

Published on

  “Secretary  Goyal highlighted  the difficulties  faced by  Indian businessmen  due to  delays in  visa processing  and requested the  United States  to  enhance processing,” the  joint statement said. 

  A senior government official said  New Delhi has sought  to make visas  easier  for Indian traders and investors,  participating  in  Washington government markets  and also asked the  US  to  set up  make permanent the system  that allows qualified  applicants to  self-renew  their H-1B  visas  there  instead of  returning to their home country.  Saturday.  

 India raised these concerns at the Trade Policy Forum (TPF) meeting  on Friday,  co-chaired by  US Trade Representative Katherine Tai and  Minister of  Commerce and Industry  Piyush  Goyal. At  the TPF meeting, the two  Governments  noted that the movement of  highly skilled  and  specialized  workers, students, investors and  entrepreneurs  between the countries contributes  greatly  to  strengthening the partnership  bilateral  economics  and  technology.  

  “Secretary  Goyal highlighted  the difficulties  faced by  Indian businessmen  due to  delays in  visa processing  and requested the  United States  to  enhance  processing,”  the  joint statement said.  India has also asked the US to  set up  a permanent process for Indian H1B visa holders in the US to renew  these  visas in the US itself so that they do not have to  travel  to  India, the government official said. Because of this.  

 Currently, in the  United States,  this  state  facility  is a pilot  program. State facilities mean  H1B visa  holders  can  only be  renewed in the  United States.  

  “Now  we are asking to make it  permanent  and we are asking to extend this facility not only  for  the original visa holder but  also for his  family  so that the family does not need to come back  India  to  extend visa “,”,  India has  asked  the US to consider India as an  “approved country”  for E1 and E2 visas,  for traders and investors. Currently, India does not have  this  status. 

  The manager added: “Therefore, it has been requested  that India should also be considered  a part of the treaty  so that  E1 and E2  visas, intended  for investors and traders,  should  also  be granted  to  India”. .
