I am pursuing PhD (Psychology) in India. I haven't traveled to any other country.
I want to attend conferences outside India also. I am interested in genuine academic conferences. I had applied for good conferences in past, but unfortunately could not make out due to lack of time to book visa appointment for US.
But I think Countries like US have strict visa rules. I can't waste time in doing so much paper work for getting a visa just to attend 2 to 3 days conference as I am at the advance stage of my PhD and it requires more and more time. Can anyone of you guide me with the name of some countries which can easily (as compared to US visa) provide me visa to attend conferences there.
Best Answer
Your visa application is typically only the tip of the iceberg with regards to the amount of work expected of you before and after attending a conference.
Ask your faculty adviser for support in your decision making. Expect to be required to start with rational considerations such as:
- which conferences are actually relevant for your academic specialty and current research
- can you present your own research or only attend
- how to get funding
Those are also typical questions that you will need to answer in many visa applications. Once you have your shortlist/conference: often conferences will provide visa application information, provide invitation letters and might even sponsor you. Your adviser will probably also have experience with visa applications and your university may also have an international desk that can support you with visa applications and other travel arrangements (usually they are not restricted to only support foreign students attending your university).
