This email is VERY important. Please read CAREFULLY.

Everyone coming to India who needs a visa is to apply for a TOURIST
visa.

Do NOT mention anything about attending a conference. Here is the
problem.

Anyone putting on an international conference in India needs official
clearance from the government. We applied months ago, but the
bureaucrats in charge are dragging their feed, drinking chai, doing
God knows what. They are doing everything but issuing our clearance.

So if you apply for a visa and mention that you are attending a
conference, you'll require an official invitation which we cannot
send - because clearance has not yet been issued. If you mention
anything about a conference your visa application will be DENIED.

Please indicate that you are visiting India as a TOURIST. If they ask
where you're going just say Dharamsala. It's the second most popular
tourist attraction in India. The consular officer will fall asleep
when he hears this and process your visa.

So to repeat, you're all TOURISTS!!!! No mention of a conference. NONE.

Thanks for understanding our challenges in getting you all here.
