ESL Internship Visa

Deportation happens in India. All it takes is a single person's complaint to visa authority in India. Here is the proof, albeit an old one:

Yeah, if you are working in a politically sensitive arena, like religion, on a tourist visa, then you may run into problems. But there is a Missionary Visa you should have applied for. The issue in the link above is not "volunteering on a tourist visa." It's "working for a religious organization without a missionary visa." Two different things.

Thank you all for sharing your thoughts.
Just a quick update and perhaps some useful information for those who will be applying for this type of visa.

I have decided to try and get a visa by my contract. There appears to be a specific checklist of documents that must be provided when applying for an internship visa (regardless of the type of work). I am not sure whether this would be in other countries also, but it has to be similar.

The checklist must include all of the usual - contract, invitation, copy of the company's incorporation, etc,. but in addition there is a focus on the applicant's financial status. One must have a certain amount of cash depending on the internship period and copies of bank statements must be provided. In addiditon, the parents must act as guarantor's and their bank statements must also be provided.
