- For medical attendant e‑Visas, a link to the principal patient’s visa or hospital letter is usually required.
Conference Clearance

Travel tips
Quick local advice for smoother arrivals and day-to-day travel.
1
Train travel pro move: use IRCTC's Foreign Tourist Quota booking for popular routes when regular quotas are sold out. You book online under the 'Foreign Tourist Ticket Booking' option and enter each passenger's passport number-seats are limited, so it's best for high-demand trains.
2
Read the fine print: Foreign Tourist Quota tickets can cost around 1.5x normal fare and IRCTC adds a per-ticket fee, so it's a 'pay a bit more to actually get a seat' tool-worth it for tight itineraries.
