The visa application must be accompanied by an invitation letter, approval for the event from the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), and a clearance letter from the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), India. Approval from the DAE requires an approximate estimate of the number of foreign participants. Meanwhile, MEA clearance letter necessitates a copy of the front page of your passport and the form Annex II. In this regard, please complete the following steps:
