Intra-Company Transfer (ICT) Visa Advisory in India for MNCs
Multinational companies deploying existing employees from their global offices to their India subsidiary or branch face a distinct visa pathway — the Intra-Company Transfer (ICT) visa, processed under India's Employment Visa framework with specific eligibility conditions that differ from standard employment visa applications.
At A2 Consultants, we provide end-to-end ICT visa advisory for multinationals transferring senior managers, executives, and specialists with proprietary knowledge to their India operations. Our team ensures your international mobility is structured correctly from day one — avoiding rejection, delays, and costly compliance gaps.
Who Qualifies for an Intra-Company Transfer Visa in India
The ICT route is available to foreign nationals being transferred from an overseas entity to its Indian subsidiary, branch office, or joint venture, provided they hold a managerial, executive, or specialised knowledge role. The transferee must have been employed with the parent entity for a minimum period and must meet the salary threshold prescribed under India's Employment Visa guidelines.
Our ICT Visa Advisory Services Include:
- Eligibility assessment for ICT visa qualification under India's Employment Visa rules
- Advice on entity relationship documentation — subsidiary, branch, JV, and holding company structures
- Preparation and review of ICT visa application documents including appointment letters, salary structures, and company relationship proofs
- Advisory on minimum salary thresholds and structuring compensation for visa compliance
- Coordination with the Indian Embassy or High Commission in the home country
- FRRO registration support on arrival in India
- Visa extension and status change advisory for long-term deployments
- Guidance on dependent visa (X visa) applications for accompanying family members
- Advisory on Permanent Establishment (PE) risk triggered by senior personnel deployment to India
Why This Matters for MNCs
An incorrectly structured ICT visa application — wrong entity relationship documentation, salary below threshold, or unclear role description — leads to rejection or, worse, visa overstay and compliance exposure for the India entity. Our advisory ensures your mobility programme is structured in line with both India's visa regulations and your internal HR and tax policies.
