I am a U.S. citizen who's been recently hired at a paper in New Delhi,
I simply wanted to know whether I need any special visas/documents in

registered with the government as a visitor and currently have a ten
year multiple entry visa.

Dear shackman66-ga,

The Indian Consulate, New York, provides information on the relevant
Visas. It appears you will have to apply for an Employment Visa. There
is detailed information on the page and a Visa Application Form. I
note there is also a Journalists Visa which is for three months. I
don?t know if this is applicable to your situation.

This is some of the relevant information.

?EMPLOYMENT VISA: Employment visas are initially issued for one-year
stay. A copy of the contract with the employer has to be enclosed.
Kindly note that Employment Visa is given only for jobs that require
very high level of skills and expertise. This can be extended by
Foreigners Regional Registration Office in India, if the job contract
continues. Spouses and children are granted co-terminus entry visas on
request.?

?General inquiries or supply of application forms: Please write or
send fax to Consulate General of India, 3 East 64th Street, New York,
New York 10021. Tel. (212) 774-0600, (212) 774-0610, Fax (212)

The Indian Embassy (details below), states that,
?Note:  Change of purpose is not permitted once you have reached
India.  Depending on the nature of your journey, apply for the correct
visa category.?
