Delegates heading to India for a seminar or workshop don’t need to navigate embassy queues. This category exists specifically for that purpose, and the Indian e-Conference Visa permits a stay of up to 30 days with multiple entries allowed during its three-month validity window.

Requirement rundown:

• Formal invitation letter from a recognized institution, NGO, UN body, or government department
• Passport valid six months with two blank pages
• Proof of political and event clearance from relevant ministries
• Passport-style photo and address documentation

Applications process online, with confirmation typically arriving within two to three business days. Since this category can’t be converted or extended, delegates should double check every detail names, addresses, invitation particulars — before hitting submit, as errors can mean starting the whole application over again.
