Working In India
-
Is it true that it is against the law for an American to be employed by a company in India (meaning, he moves there and tries to get a job)? Is this true for just Americans, or all foreigners? ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 "You won't like me when I'm angry..." - Dr. Bruce Banner Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends

Not true, to the best of my knowledge. I know quite a few Americans who have worked in India. However, its not easy to get permits to work in India. This is true for all nationalities. I think its a lot easier if you work for a multinational that transfers you there. If you go there and look for a job and then apply for a permit, it may not be easy (honestly, do not know the details).

The obvious question is why any American would want to do that. The highest paid Indian programmer would probably not be getting very much more than 48 K USD (even thats a phenomenal figure and only applies to PMs and higher posts in metro cities like Bangalore) John Simmons / outlaw programmer wrote: Is this true for just Americans, or all foreigners? I've seen quite a few foreigners here in Technopark (a mini city inside Trivandrum that houses a few dozen software companies) but I dont think any of them are working here - probably are on business visits Nish

It's just something that was posted on slashdot. Some guy wanted to move to india and get a job, but he claims that the company he wanted to work for said it was illegal for an american to work there. I figured that i'd get the straight poop here since we seem to have so many indians in attendance. ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 "You won't like me when I'm angry..." - Dr. Bruce Banner Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends

A lot of companies in the US have experience in hiring foreigners. It is illegal for a foregner to work in the US too, i.e., unless they have a permit. Most companies in India have never hired a foreigner and therefore would state the illegal part first before realizing that there is a permit process that can make it legal.

He'd probably need a work permit to work here legally and considering that not too many people move to India for work, I am not sure that India issues anything more than a very small number of work permits per year. Perhaps this is a reason why not many foreigners are found here. Nish

Think of the term "American" as the short version of "United States of American". :-) But I know what you're saying, most Americans consider "America" synonymous with "USA". Again, it comes from the word "America" being part of the country name. But I think we all know that technically speaking, America is one big continent. Regards, Alvaro
Hey! It compiles! Ship it.

Yeah, but it's a lot closer to the truth. :-D Chris Meech If you spin a Chinese person around, do they become dis-oriented? Why do people in this time period worry so much about time traveler's destroying their worldline when they have no problem doing it themselves every day? John Titor.
