Attend international conferences, seminars, trade exhibitions, and academic events in India with a dedicated Conference eVisa. Fast 48-hour processing for US delegates.
The India Conference eVisa (e-Conference Visa) is a specialized electronic authorization issued by the Government of India that allows US citizens to travel to India specifically to attend international conferences, seminars, workshops, trade exhibitions, cultural events, and academic gatherings.
India hosts thousands of international events each year — from global technology summits and trade fairs to academic conferences and cultural festivals. With the Conference eVisa, US delegates can attend these events without the delays of traditional visa processing. The application is entirely online — no embassy appointment, no paper forms.
The Conference eVisa is a single-entry visa valid for 30 days from the date of issue. It is specifically tied to attending an officially recognized event in India. Processing is completed in just 48 hours for most applications — faster than standard eVisa processing.
