Travel Documents (VISA Information - India)
Conference VISA, or Tourist VISA, or Business VISA
Depending on the nature of your journey, your country of origin, duration of stay, and other variables, such as special agreements between governments, each conference registrant will need to decide on the appropriate category of VISA.
Please be aware that once you apply for a VISA, it is possible that change of purpose might not be allowed once you reach India. If you are considering a vacation while in India, you might opt to apply for a tourist visa. In some countries a formal letter of invitation may not be required for a tourist visa.
In some cases this will be easier to obtain than a business or conference visa. In other cases, one's country of origin may require that travel is permitted only on a business or conference VISA. Conference registrants are advised to check with the Indian Consulate office in their region to determine if a tourist, conference, or business VISA is the best choice for their individual travel requirements.
CONFERENCE VISA: In the case of a conference VISA it is likely that a letter of invitation from the organizer of the conference is to be attached along with the visa application. Visas for international conferences, or on certain subjects, as decided by the Government of India from time to time, can be issued only after clearance for the said conference is received from the Government of India.
