As per a news item in Economic Times of 22nd December 2011, the visa norms of expats working in India Inc. has been relaxed by the Home Ministry. Expats working at senior positions need not go back to their home country and get a fresh visa in case they are migrating to a group company i.e between subsidiaries or associates, identified as such. In all other cases and in cases of expats working in junior positions, it means this relaxation will not apply and the expats will perforce have to travel back to his home country. Therefore expats jumping jobs while in India will have to go back to his home country and return with a fresh work visa. I am unable to find the copy of the new visa norms at the MHA website, cluttered as it is with too many things. However a copy of the TOI article is found here
