Does anyone know how long it takes to get the work visa for India? The Embassy webite says 4 to 6 weeks. Does it actually take this long?

No, it went through fairly quickly, in a matter of days (2005). Probably, it depends on how well the paperwork was prepared (no bribery involved!).

Don´t forget to register during the first fourteen days in India (or be prepared to foot some extra money after that).

All the best for Incredible India!

Am I correct that you need a employee contract before you can apply for the work visa???

Thanks for the info. I have been doing my homework since November and learning something new everyday. Patience is indeed a virtue. For the 48hours I was over for my sim eval i enjoyed it all and can't wait to get over there.
