Indian Visa for artists, musicians, and performers: Obtain employment visa for duration of contract

Many foreign artists visit India to perform in events and Bollywood( Mumbai) film industry. Foreign artists who want to perform at clubs, Hotels, and other organizations should obtain regular employment contracts from these organizations. The Indian employment visas are issued to specialized or renowned performers, and artists having the special skills, and not for routine work for which many Indians are available.

  2. There is an annual minimum salary requirement of USD 25,000 for Indian employment visas. This is about USD 2083 per month. So the employment contract of the artist should comply with minimum salary for the duration of the employment. For example, an artist coming to India to perform for two months for total salary of USD 4166 or more should be eligible for an Indian employment visa.
