GST Registration for Foreigners
Non-resident taxable person, registered in advance.
A non-resident who makes taxable supplies in India without a fixed place of business here must register as a non-resident taxable person. There is no turnover threshold: the first supply triggers it.
Registration has to be applied for at least five days before business begins, and an advance deposit of the estimated tax liability has to be made with the application. The registration is valid for ninety days and can be extended once.
A separate route exists for OIDAR — online information and database access or retrieval services supplied to unregistered Indian customers — which registers in Form REG-10 rather than as an NRTP.
What is included
- Route determined — NRTP or OIDAR
- Registration in REG-09 or REG-10

- Authorised signatory in India appointed
What we need from you
- Passport of the non-resident, or incorporation documents of the foreign entity

- Indian authorised signatory's PAN and Aadhaar
- Bank account details and the estimated turnover
Questions
How long is GST registration for a non-resident valid?
Ninety days from the effective date, or the period requested, whichever is shorter. It can be extended once by a further ninety days on application, with an additional advance tax deposit.
