All foreign nationals entering India must hold a valid international travel document (national passport) plus a valid visa issued by an Indian Mission or Post, or an approved eVisa from the Bureau of Immigration. Business visitors to SCAT India should apply under the e-Business Visa category, which covers the activities permitted under a normal business visa. Apply online before departure and carry your passport with the visa or printed eVisa for arrival.
Estimated cost: Varies by visa type and nationality (check official site).
Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
Applications and appointment scheduling are handled on the official Indian Visa Online portal (indianvisaonline.gov.in); detailed guidance for your nationality is published by the relevant Indian Mission. Carry a printed eVisa and passport on arrival, and keep a copy of your registration confirmation for the show. Travellers from some SAARC countries may be issued an India Business Card alongside a multiple-entry business visa for faster immigration clearance.
