⚠️Common Reasons India e-Conference Visa Applications Are Refused6

  • !
    Missing or unverifiable conference clearances — the e-Conference visa needs the event’s political, MEA and MHA clearances plus an invitation from the organising body; their absence or any mismatch causes refusal.
  • !
    Document or photograph scan failures and passport-data mismatches — the e-Visa system rejects any discrepancy in name, passport number or date of birth automatically.
  • !
    An ineligible passport — a non-ordinary travel document, or under six months’ validity or without blank pages.
  • !
    Purpose mismatch — attending anything other than the cleared conference/seminar/workshop, or combining it with tourism or business the visa does not cover.
  • !
    Pakistani nationality or Pakistani origin (parent, grandparent or spouse, or birth in Pakistan), an adverse security check, or an undisclosed criminal record.
  • !
    An existing valid Indian visa for the same dates, or an adverse immigration history (overstay, deportation or blacklisting).

Refusal grounds are at the discretion of the deciding officer and can change. This list is informational — always verify current requirements at the official government portal.
