Non-Immigrant Visas

Business Executive Program

We welcome trade and commerce between the U.S. and India, and want legitimate business persons to be able to travel with a minimum of delay and inconvenience. The Business Executive Program (BEP) is only for companies located in India and within the Chennai consular district. The program cannot be extended to companies located in the United States. The BEP is for selected companies within the Chennai Consular District that have a high volume of visa applicants, and meet the requirements of a rigorous pre-screening and approval process conducted by the Consulate. If your company has previously been invited to join Business Executive and you have not responded to our invitation or if you believe your company (by virtue of its size, number of business transactions with the U.S. and stability) may qualify, please contact the Consular Section for further information.
