Extension Employment Visa by Pnoynpune
Help, i've been working to get my employee visa since August last year, it already expired last Aug 1st... I have requested for it to be extended till Feb 10.. The problem is, it will be Feb 10 in 2 weeks and it's still not processed. I want to go ...
FRRO is the answer to all foreigner's problems... and usually the cause of them! They would've sent that poor guy's visa extension off to Delhi for processing (because they're a regional office in Pune they can't do it themselves) and it would've ... Read More

No, don't contact the Embassy. You must go to your local FRRO and ask for an Exit Visa. Read More

Australian bringing a young family from Melb to Mumbai - yes or no? by janda
Hi there, I have been approached by my company to take on a senior sales role based in Mumbai. It has a decent IA attached but I have never really considered living in Mumbai or India for that matter. Is there anyone out there who could spare some ...

Cost of Living in Mumbai, India. 2009 by Guest239485
I am a Spanish girl, 30 years old. Planing to move to Mumbay. I have a job offer to be a professor there, they offer me 110.00 INR per month. Do you think I could live there with that money? Is it safe for a woman living and moving in Mumbai? I ...
Hi there. I'm confused about about how much they're paying you. You can't mean 110.00 to be one hundred and ten rupees. Do you mean eleven thousand rupees? (11,000). If so, you will find it quite difficult to live in Mumbai on only that amount of ... Read More
