All foreign nationals traveling to India are required to possess a valid passport of their country and a valid Indian Visa issued by the Indian Embassy or Indian Consular office in their country. Please apply for a “conference visa”. Selected applicants will be provided with an invitation letter and relevant approvals which must be submitted with the Visa Application form. Visa authorization times are variable so it is best to apply at least 40 days in advance of your travel date.

IMPORTANT. Foreign passport holders seeking to attend a conference in India, must apply for a Conference Visa. Prior approval by the Ministry in Delhi is required. NCBS has applied for this approval and is awaiting it. We will inform you when we receive the approval so that you can apply for the Conference Visa. Please note that if you apply for a tourist/business visa, and state that the purpose of your visit is to attend a conference, your application may be rejected.
