Visa Requirements
Make sure you have all the necessary documentation to travel to India. Visas must be obtained prior to arrival in India and ALL visitors to India, excluding citizens of Nepal and Bhutan, holding ordinary passports, will require a visa. For details of entry requirements to India and for an application form attending should contact the nearest Indian Embassy or Consulate in good time before your departure. A three month single entry Business Visa can be issued from most Indian Embassies and is activated on the date you enter India. We would urge attending delegates to apply for the necessary visa at their earliest convenience.
In addition to the visa application form, relevant fees and photos, embassies may also require a letter of invitation from the inviting company. Delegates requiring such a document from our host, Mumbai International Airport, should complete the electronic request form in full ensuring accuracy throughout.
