Travel & Logistics
India offers an e-Visa facility for nationals of most countries. Delegates should apply for an e-Conference Visa (or Regular Conference Visa) online at indianvisaonline.gov.in. Official invitation letters for visa support are available from the congress secretariat after registration is confirmed. See our Visa Information guide for full details.

Maharana Pratap Airport (UDR) is the nearest airport, approximately 25 km from The Ananta, Udaipur. Direct flights operate from Delhi, Mumbai, Jaipur, and Ahmedabad.
Visa Information
To attend the World Congress on Itch you should hold an e-Conference Visa (or a Regular Conference Visa). Attending a professional conference on a tourist visa is not appropriate and may cause difficulties at immigration.
Complete your congress registration; your invitation letter will then be available in your login dashboard, and the MEA political clearance will be published on the congress website 2–3 months before the conference.
The e-Conference Visa permits up to 30 days from arrival, which may include tourism. It is single-entry, non-extendable and non-convertible. For a longer or multi-entry trip, apply for the appropriate regular visa instead.
Apply for a Regular Conference Visa at your nearest Indian Embassy or Consulate as early as possible, using the invitation and clearance documents provided by the organisers. Contact the WCI travel desk for support.
Programme & Content
A preliminary programme overview will be published in May 2027. The full detailed programme — including all session times, speakers, and abstracts — will be available from August 2027 via the congress website and app.
Yes. The WCI 2027 congress app will be available for download from August 2027. It features a personalised schedule builder, speaker profiles, venue maps, live updates, interactive Q&A, and networking functions. Details will be sent to all registered delegates.
WCI 2027 is applying for European CME accreditation (EACCME). Details of the accreditation and number of credits will be confirmed and communicated to delegates closer to the congress date. Certificates of attendance are provided to all registered delegates.
