Very interesting.
In India, there's the elected government that issues tourist and residential visas,
Then there is the parallel government where you live, do business, own/maintain your property.
You can have an up to date visa but be unable to get anything done or hold on to what you've aquired unless you obtain and maintain the good will of local powerbrokers - which include the police, those who deliver water, those who
give access to the local power grid -- et cetera.
