Takeaway Tips

• Taking voluntary depositions of U.S. citizens in India can be conducted without permission of the Indian Central Authority, however, voluntary depositions of Indian or third country nationals will require prior permission.
• Depositions in India can take place at the venue of your choosing, whether that be a hotel room, law firm office, conference room, or videoconferencing facility.
• All U.S. citizens traveling to India will need to apply for a business visa before travel.
• To get a business visa you will need a Letter of Invitation from an Indian law firm or Indian company. For more information please visit: Official Partner of Embassy of India at Cox & Kings Global Services.
• Always be sure to plan as far in advance as possible. The further you plan ahead, the more likely it is that you’ll be able to locate and book the right Indian-based professional for your deposition.
