Visas will be issued on a gratis basis to all accredited delegates and accompanying spouses (including ordinary passport holders). Once accreditation is complete, delegates may submit a visa application along with a copy of their accreditation letter and a Note Verbale from the respective Ministry of Foreign Affairs or competent authority to the nearest Indian High Commission / Embassy / Consulate for issuance of the appropriate Indian visa.
