job wanted - bangalore

Hi

I'm coming over to Bangalore on 8th Feb i'm only coming on a tourist visa to start, but hope to get married in march then try to apply for a permit to try to work if this is allowed. I have been employed as a engineer previously in the UK, could anyone point me in the right direction for work or maybe have some work that I could do for someone. I am a fast learner and love to develop new skills, I am computer literate but do not have certificates

Before you think of working, you may want to research the Indian laws around changing visa status. I believe it is almost impossible to get done before your 180 tourist visa days expire. We've discussed it here before. Try searching.

So once the Visa Power..errr Visa problem is taken care of, you need to find out which field you want to join.
So if you have computer experience, narrow down your search based on what computer skills you have.
Then try naukri.com, monster.com, timesjobs.com. These are the major job sites in india.

I think you will find it very difficult to transfer from tourist visa to employment visa - i found it impossible. Even with a watertight contract and an indian husband!!

If you have a definite job to start and clear contract then you may be able to get an employment visa - but you probably will have to return to your home country (i did).

this is a complicated visa situation and you would probably find it useful to get as much info as possible to inform how you move forward
