Source-backed scope
Indian ordinary-passport resident of India with successful PAR, visiting for up to 14 days for business meetings, short seminars, concluding contracts/submitting tenders or permitted trade-fair participation. Visitor status prohibits employment paid or unpaid, establishing/joining a business, direct public sales/services at trade fairs and booth construction. This is not a work visa or permission to operate a business. Speaking/presenting has separate conditions: normally no remuneration apart from event-related provision/reimbursement, and no more than 14 consecutive participation days. STV exceptions are outside this guide. PAR is free, normally valid six months and does not guarantee admission; failed PAR or a stay over 14 days requires the appropriate visa route. No compulsory invitation/company-registration/guarantee upload bundle is established for successful PAR; border examination is separate.
