Visas for workation in India
Like all of India, there is no visa category for freelance workers when heading to Goa, and visas must be arranged ahead of time before entry to the country (excluding those traveling from Bhutan and Nepal). This can make the visa process a bit more complicated, with visa prices varying depending on one’s nationality. Securing a work visa probably takes more time and energy than you’d like to put in if you’re only planning on being in Goa for a month or so.
However, the best course of action is to call your local Indian embassy to get all the details on your nuanced situation. The embassy authorities will guide you best on how to enter India safely; after all, like most countries, India is itching to get its tourism sector back-up and running after months of economic constraint.
