five top tips

  • 01Always carry several passport-sized head shots with you. You will require these for nearly every account you open and every form that you complete.
  • 02When filing applications and opening accounts (particularly with government offices) ensure you bring with you every imaginable supporting document.
  • 03Government offices in particular can be very arbitrary and demanding on your patience, so be prepared for a full run-around and keep your patience!
  • 04Building a social network in Bangalore is very important, both for the feel-good factor, as well the premise that India operates on connections.
  • 05As a foreigner, you may not be expected to play by the many cultural rules that exist for most Indians. Despite this you should always make an effort.
