Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, foreign founders can use a Business Visa for initial setup activities. However, Employment Visas and long-term operations require the company to be fully incorporated under MCA with a valid PAN, GST registration, and establishment registration.
FRRO registration typically takes 3-7 working days once the foreign national has arrived in India with a valid Employment or Business Visa, subject to correct documentation.
GST registration itself is free on the GSTN portal. Our professional fees cover the end-to-end facilitation, documentation, and follow-up with GST authorities.
Spouses of Employment Visa holders can apply for their own Employment Visa or Business Visa to work legally. A dependent spouse visa does not automatically permit employment in India.
Late filing attracts interest, penalties, and in serious cases, prosecution. We proactively track all statutory deadlines to ensure your company remains compliant.
