A visa has to be obtained by most foreign nationals before travelling to India. All foreign nationals expected to participate in the meeting are therefore requested to apply for a Conference/Business visa through an Indian Consulate in their country.

Following regulation, we will be applying for clearence for the conference from the Ministry of Human Resource Development of the Government of India. A copy of this clearance, which we expect to get by mid-October, along with the invitation letter will be sent to all registered participants requiring visa. These are needed for applying for a conference visa.

In case the name of a reference/contact person is required in your visa application form please mention the following :
