What is Employment Visa?

A long-term visa issued by the Indian government to foreign nationals who have a confirmed employment contract with an Indian company, allowing them to live and work in India for the duration of their employment, typically up to 5 years.

Why it matters in hiring

Employment Visa comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
