Visa
We are unable to issue e-Conference visa letters at this time due to the short timeline before the event. Please explore alternative visa options. We are also unable to provide invitation letters, as these are issued only in support of e-Conference visa applications.
Visitors to India must have a passport which is valid for at least six months from the date of entry into the country. The passport should have at least two blank pages. Visitors must apply only for the e-conference visa.
A visa is essential for all persons visiting India, except nationals of Nepal and Bhutan. Participants who already have valid Indian visas may enter the country freely. Those who do not have a valid visa need to apply for a visa.
There are two ways to get Indian visas:
1. eVisa from Bureau of Immigration:
