Yes, you have to get GST registration if your turnover crosses Rs. 20 lakhs. If all your clients are located outside India - it will be treated as export of services which is taxable at 0%. 

Note- 

  • For export of services to be taxed @ 0% a Letter of Undertaking (LuT) is required to be issued on the portal after registration. 
  • For issuing LuT you must fulfil certain conditions while transacting with your clients.

Hence, I would recommend you to consult a tax professional to guide you with GST registration & its compliances.

Hope this helps!
