Visa Information

IMPORTANT

Visa approval can take a few months, and so we strongly encourage you to apply well in advance.

VISA INFORMATION

All participants are requested to check for visa requirements to enter India and you may qualify for the e-conference visa or via-mail or in-person depending on where you are located. The correct type of visa to attend the ICIS 2023 conference is the “conference visa”. It is not acceptable to enter the country under a tourist visa and attend a conference. For your family/accompanying members who are not participating in the conference you may select “tourist visa” or any other appropriate visa.

The conference visa can also be used for tourism except in some ‘Restricted’ or ‘Protected’ areas in India.

For specific details on what documentations are expected from the embassy please visit the local Indian embassy. For example, Indian embassies in China, Australia, Germany and US are listed below:

All government agency links in India end with “gov.in” so you know the authenticity of the website as being governmental (or federal – as it is called in many countries).
