Congratulations Ben.Very informative video with vital information for travellers. Celebrate your return to !ncredible India.

Glad to have you back, congrats 🥳 for me travelling is always stressful, feel like I'm missing some document even though I triple check to have what they say I need to have. I feel lucky to have OCI, at least the visa headache is off my head😄

Ben I just love your channel , never stop uploading about incredible India 💓🙂

Dramatic yet informative

Thank you for sharing this video, currently have to get a new visa to come back to India, and this was helpful!

I was waiting for Benjamin to suit up since he is now a businessman 🤣

Congratulations!!! It worked for me!

Very detailed info which ought to be useful to many

this is such a high quality video...im amazed... thanks for the help bro

An excellent entertaining video - - it helps me so much - welcome back to India - woohoooo!. - keep the videos coming. - love ya work!! Merry Christmas cheers Daniel in Oz 😃😃😃😃

Thanks for your channel and great videos! Could you please update this video with details of the other visa options for westerners traveling to India? Many thanks!!!

This was really helpful. I am planning a trip to Mumbai India in Feb, and omg, I am feeling so stressed out already. I'm from Philadelphia, and I have traveled to India back in 2018 for a week, but now with all the covid rules, I'm nervous.

Thanks for your valuable information in this critical situation,as a European or Western 👏👏👏🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰🌹🌹🌹🤝 may God bless you and your family.

Columbo, I was thinking of him recently when I was watching vlogs from another YT channel, the grandfather in the vlog keeps coming back with another question to ask just like Columbo. Congrats on the visa, why only one year, you have to repeat the process again.

Informative

BUBBA I'm so ecstatically joyful 😊👍🏻 for you buddy. You got back in with basically no hitches except for those taxi 🚕 drivers in Sri Lanka cancelling on you a few times. I remember the feeling 🥳🎉🎊🎆🎇 I had when I successfully passed through immigration in 2019 in Delhi 🇮🇳. Woohoo 🎉! You're back in black 🖤 AC/DC style. Looking forward to more of your India travel 🧳 vlogs. Very informative vlog on getting that biz visa and all the airport stuff. You got my 👍🏻. Stay Happy-Go-Lucky and blessed. 🙏🏻🕉️

The authorities saved you from getting ripped off by taxi drivers. Those guys who claim to help you with the taxi will actually rip you off by over charging you. The best option is always to book a cab through the taxi stands available at the airport and have a receipt with the correct amount you need to pay. Or you could book an Uber or Ola cab and go in that. It's my personal experience that taxi guys who approach you as you come out of airport are there to rip you off, if they come anywhere close to you, refuse them and ask them to leave you alone.

please make lots and lots more videos

glad to have you back brother! what happended to the house you were staying at? going back there again or did you have to get some place else?

Glad everything went with out any hitch. Loved that tv show of the 80's detective columbo. Did you get both the doses of the vaccine? Also just curious for long term visas are you supposed to visit the nearest police station for a verification/attendence. Back in the days this was a requirement. Not sure this rule still exists.

Awesome

Hi Benjamin glad you are back to India your love for India is so obvious The late author Nirad Choudhary wrote about some westerners fascination for India and he compared India ty Greek sorceress India enchants you then it enrapts you Even when you go back to USA India will not go off your mind, India it's people , it's culture and it's food will haunt you forever, Unless you decide to stay back in India, because in most of your videos you keep saying India is my home

brooooo...this is the exact process i'm going through literally less than 1 week later...i just submitted my e-visa app a few hours ago. chennaikku varavearkirom matrum christmas valthukkal!

Hey you should check out a place call Rajapalayam in virudhunagar. You can check out the special rare Rajapalayam training dogs and it has a special hotel named koorakadai. Maybe can we meet?

Wow .. totally enjoyed your experience video. Few months ago - I appliedd 4 a student visa. X-2 Global Entry visa Cost me: 300$ to compile Rejected I know how complex... How difficult it is 2 du what you have done. Can anyone afford to fly SO FAAAR to lndia. Just for a 30 days visa? the infrastructure of lndia takes alot of time to deal with. I spent 12 years there they 40 years of time. So I know They should give 3 month tourist visas. India has all the ancient Hindu holy places. India could allow us foreign Hindu people time there to do sadhana in those places: Rishikesh Kanyakumari Ayodhya Udupi Mayapur & a thousand other places

Welcome home 🙏🙏🙏

Hi, did u have any restrictions to re-enter India after u left India? I travelled to India on Mid Feb on e-tourist visa of 30-day with single entry. I returned to my country for 1 month now but my ETA expires on 26 April. Do u know when i can apply again for 1 year e-tourist visa with multiple entry? Thank u 🙏🙏🙏

Can I travel on tourist visa without being vaccinated? Is a negative PCR enough? Thank you and lovely video!

Hi Benjamin, very informative video. Can you please tell me if my toddler has over stayed for 2 months on indian e-visa, do i need to apply for exit permit or register with FRRO? The portal says, anyone under 16 years age are exempt to register.

I want to move to India and stay for as long as possible dealing with visas as little as possible. Is this the best way? I have an indie game d I am selling and developing, would choosing to program that while living in india count for a business visa? I appreciate you making this video, I can't seem to find any other youtubers talking about how they are staying in india for so long

Hey Ben, apply for 5 years multiple entry visa of India.

You take taxi directly from airport? Better to order pickup from Tiru no?

Are You going back to Tiruvanmalay ? or visiting other places of India ?

Also did you have to quarantine for 14 days when you arrived?

No travel from UK ??? So want to come to India

Site kept crashing on me....lost money on 1st attempt...pdf failed me twice...had to get a paper copy 3 days before I left.

Do you need to be vaccinated to enter India

Did you make it, Benjamin?? I am outside, I can't really listen to the video

But I think still it is easy as compared USA visa.

Good information. However it's risky to upload such information on public platform. Indian authorities may actually look at it and cancel your visa 😂😂😂

8:04 😂

Hi! Does your friend have to have a business? I'm interested in doing business with a friend but we haven't created it yet.

What type of business you want to do in India?🤔❤

I recommend you visiting the holy city of anandpur sahib in Punjab as there is held a huge war like festival of colours by the medieval army of Sikhs, Nihangs, a day after the Holi.

To much BS bro, the India, I know would treat guests like God itself.

These are hilarious 😂😂😂😂

Glad you took the business visa as it's the correct one if you are doing anything in India that can derive income worldwide. Vlogging or writing software when in India is technically working and you can be in violation of a tourist visa if you do it for more than a short visit. Nobody wants s blacklist. Now that you have been in India for more than 180 days since April 1st 2021, you are technically a resident for tax purposes. I was always warned by my PWC accountants to carry my tax receipt when leaving India. I was never asked for it, but the accountants would freak out about trouble with the ED. It's not too bad. You need to pay 4 times of you are self employed. Tax is assessed on worldwide income so anything you get from investments prior to arriving in India you can get a credit on your us taxes which we all must file. It's likely that unless you received pandemic benefits your standard deduction will cover this and you will have no us taxes. In India all youtube and work as well as is interest is taxable as a resident it's global income for residents. It's a pain as there are few deductions, but if you have a company you can depreciate your assets. Best of luck You are doing things correctly so you will have no issues with immigration on any future visa runs. I think the paper buisness visa for USA citizens is 10 years, but it takes a week or two to get

😢👊👊👊👍
