International Participants

Visa documents

Foreign nationals entering India generally need a valid passport and an appropriate Indian visa or eVisa category. Conference participants should check whether a conference visa is required for their event.

If an invitation letter or government clearance letter is required, event organizers will usually collect participant details well in advance. Follow the event-specific deadline.

Money and connectivity

• The currency is the Indian Rupee (INR). Currency exchange is available at the airport and through local banks.
• UPI QR-code payments are common, but international visitors should keep cards enabled for international transactions and carry some cash.
• Eduroam works on campus. Events may also provide temporary IITGN WiFi credentials.
• A local or roaming cellular data connection is useful for cabs, maps, and off-campus movement.

Practical information

• India uses 230V, 50Hz power. Type C plugs are common; bring an adapter if needed.
• Most signage in Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, and IITGN is available in English, and language barriers are usually manageable.
• Share accessibility, dietary, and accommodation needs with organizers early.
