GST Registration for Foreigners in India
Easily Register for GST as a Non-Resident Taxable Person (NRTP)
Are you a foreign business or individual looking to sell goods or services in India? If yes, GST registration is mandatory before you can begin operations. As per Indian tax laws, any Non-Resident Taxable Person (NRTP) must obtain GST registration before commencing business in India — even if the activity is temporary or for a short period.
Our specialized team helps foreign businesses complete GST registration in India with a smooth, fast, and compliant process — from document preparation to submission and approval.
Who is a Non-Resident Taxable Person?
A Non-Resident Taxable Person (NRTP) is an individual or business entity that:
- Does not have a fixed place of business or residence in India,
- Occasionally undertakes supply of goods or services in India,
- Has no permanent business establishment in India.
Examples include foreign exhibitors at trade fairs, overseas consultants, international service providers, eCommerce sellers, or any overseas business entering India temporarily for commercial purposes.
Is GST Registration Mandatory for Foreigners?
Yes. Under the GST Act, any NRTP must register for GST at least 5 days before starting business operations in India. Even if your taxable turnover is below the usual threshold, registration is compulsory.
NRTPs must appoint an authorized local representative in India who will be responsible for compliance, filing returns, and payment of taxes on their behalf.

- Passport (for individuals) / Incorporation Certificate (for companies)
