Visa Tips

  1. Apply for Tourist Visa:
    Most visiting India for socials (and conferences) apply for Tourist Visas. They are faster to process and usually cost less. Air ticketing and travel agents usually provide this service. If attending AOGS2010 on Tourist Visa, please state Tourism as the purpose of visit in all custom forms.

  2. Apply for Conference Visas through an Indian Embassy:
    This usually costs more and requires formal documents from authorities in India. The National Advisory Committee has indicated that formal documents will be ready sometime end-May/early-June). If needed, the documents can be sent via email.

  3. References - If required, you can provide up to 2 references:
