** Note: We request Individual athletes, teams and SUP enthusiasts to come on tourist e-visa for the India Paddle Festival. If upon any query by immigration authorities or such, kindly mention that you are attending “India Paddle Festival” as a tourist. Not as a professional athlete, or for prize money because that comes under a different complicated visa process and attracts local tax.
