Top Tips

01	Always carry several passport-sized headshots with you. You will require these for nearly every account you open and every form that you complete.
02	When filing applications and opening accounts (particularly with government offices) ensure you bring with you every imaginable supporting document.
03	Government offices in particular can be very arbitrary and demanding on your patience, so be prepared for a full run-around and keep your patience!
04	Building a social network in Bangalore is very important, both for the feel-good factor, as well the premise that India operates on connections.
05	As 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.
