Rumour has it that in India, unless you plan to get employed, you apply for a tourist visa, not for a business visa. And you don't ever mention "security" in the application. -- Everyone I met that applied for a business visa to attend a conference was only allowed to stay for a couple of weeks (vs months for tourism), paid more, and the process was way more painful. -- Fernando Gont e-mail: fernando@gont.com.ar || fgont@si6networks.com PGP Fingerprint: 7809 84F5 322E 45C7 F1C9 3945 96EE A9EF D076 FFF1
