Visitor Guidelines
For International participants
Visa: For all international participants requiring a visa to attend the conference, the organizers will apply for clearance from the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India.
For those international participants who have already registered, we will contact you in the first week of July to collect the necessary information required for obtaining clearance. This clearance will enable you to apply for an Indian visa at the embassy or consulate nearest to your place of residence.
