<span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)"><span>Further to my </span><a href="https://www.icann.org/news/blog/icann57-hyderabad-what-you-need-to-know" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank"><span>blog</span></a><span> on
25 July 2016, I would like to share details on visa applications to assist all who are attending ICANN57 Annual General Meeting in Hyderabad with your travel planning.<br>
<br>
We have worked extensively with the India government to ensure a clear and smooth process for all Indian visa applications. They have also assured us that all ICANN57 visa applications will be treated as priority.<br>
<br>
All delegates requiring visas to India should visit <a href="http://www.mea.gov.in/indian-missions-abroad.htm" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank">here</a> to find the nearest India diplomatic mission to apply for your visa. You must apply
for a <strong>Conference Visa</strong>. Please refer to the <a href="https://meetings.icann.org/en/hyderabad57/visa-application-guide-india" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank">guide</a> we have put together
for reference. Apply early as the process could take up to two weeks. You will also need </span><a href="https://invitationletters.icann.org/" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank"><span>invitation letters</span></a><span> from <abbr title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers" style="direction:ltr;border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-style:dotted;border-bottom-color:rgb(153,153,153)">ICANN</abbr> and
the local host, which may take another two weeks to generate.<br>
<br>
Do take note that the e-Tourist Visa will not be applicable for our <abbr title="Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers" style="direction:ltr;border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-style:dotted;border-bottom-color:rgb(153,153,153)">ICANN</abbr> meeting.
Any traveler trying to enter India with the e-Tourist Visa may be denied entry. If you have an existing valid Business Visa, you need not apply for the Conference Visa.<br>
<br>
We have set up a dedicated email (</span><a href="mailto:icann57visasupport@icann.org)" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank"><span>icann57visasupport@icann.org)</span></a><span><wbr> that
you can contact should you need any further clarification about the visa.<br>
<br>
Remember to </span><a href="https://registration.icann.org/register.php?id=Hyderabad57" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank"><span>register</span></a><span> for ICANN57 and check
our </span><a href="https://meetings.icann.org/en/hyderabad57" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank"><span>meeting site</span></a><span> for regular updates. Lastly, don't forget
to attend the webinar on 7 September 2016 (1500 UTC) where we will share more information on ICANN57, logistics, accommodations and travel. Look out for our announcement and join us then. </span></span></p></div></div></div></div></div><br></div></div>
