The InterNations Expat Guide for working and living in India

Are you an expat working and living in India? Or are you preparing to move soon to New Delhi, Chennai or any other of the Indian international hotspots?

Expat life in India has much to offer and provides a great intercultural experience – from discovering the countryside like the National Capital Territory around Delhi, learning how Indian people celebrate Diwali, up to tasting India’s favorite dishes such as bhakri.

However, InterNations does not only address expats in India. We have brief overview guides for various locations around the world – from living in Mexico to living in UK.

Working and living in India – Valuable Information from A to Z

Moving to and living in India requires a wealth of up-to-date, trustworthy information on various aspects of Indian expat life. Living abroad in India raises a lot of questions such as: ʺHow do I find the best relocation services for moving to India?ʺ, ʺWhich credit cards are commonly accepted in India?ʺ, ʺWhich international school in New Delhi should our kids attend?ʺ or, ʺHow do I obtain a work permit for my spouse at the Indian municipality in Mumbai?ʺ

Collecting all that information on working and living in India is quite laborious and time-consuming. Our InterNations Expat Guide for India aims to help you and provides you with reliable info on those topics that matter to expats living in India. The Guide includes information on many different areas ranging from food and shopping, to health-care or local organisations and companies, up to culture & sights. Typical questions related to expat life abroad, such as ʺDo I have to pay taxes or licence fees for owning a TV?ʺ, will no longer remain unanswered.
