Hey all,

I have a job in Canada that is allowing me to work remotely in India. My plan is to move to India for at most 2 years and then come back to Canada, all while staying at my current job.

My main question is around visas - do I need a business visa or an employment visa? Or am I fine to do this all on a tourist visa?

Other questions I have
- Taxes... what do I do?
- Can I sign a lease on a tourist visa?
- What do I need to open an Indian bank account?

Thanks everyone in advance for your help.

Ok well do I need an employment visa or a business visa? I have no indian company to sponsor me so I am not sure an employment visa would work - unless there is a recommended way to get one as a remote worker? And I’m technically not doing business on behalf of my company in india either so I don’t know if a business visa is applicable. Some more information would be helpful! Heh
