A business visa does still say 'tourist visa non extendable'

Yep lad you are right visa non extendable:thumbup::thumbup: give that man an apple:rofl:

Re: 5 year x visa
 

thanks hemingway, that's what I'd hoped - it looks as if they only use the one Visa sticker and only bother to change the 'Visa Type' entry.
This is interesting because 'the powers that be' seem to be arguing that you can't buy on a tourist visa - in part because it is non-extendable (and that you need a business visa!).

Re: 5 year x visa
 

see this link

- 8. I will be going to India for work/employment along with my family. Which visa should I apply for? Would my children be able to study in India?
You must apply for an employment visa along with the requisite documents. Once your visa application is approved, your wife and children may apply for entry visas . Your children will be able to get admission in schools/colleges in India once they have been granted entry visas. Note that you have to undergo mandatory registration formalities at the nearest office of the FRRO/FRO within 14 days of your arrival in India if you are planning to stay in the country for more than 180 days.

but check the US site to make sure it's the same!

Re: 5 year x visa
 

a_f_d,

So the recent 're-hashed' comments issued from the 'central government/finance ministry' re:FNs purchasing property is yet more potentially inaccurate information/interpretation then? In that:

FNs can buy on a business visa after they have done 182 days (+ the stay for uncertain period bit) - BUT, the relevant visas will, I guess still be stamped 'not valid for stays of more than 180 consecutive days'

More catch 22. . . . . . . . . . . . .

Hi All,

I have just renewed my BV two weeks ago and no mention of Max 180 Day Stay. I have never had one with that particular stamp on it and to date have had about 7 x 2 year BV's, although I have seen others with it on. On my latest there is a green stamp on it stating Registration NOT required if each stay does not exceed 180 days.

Regards to all

John
