How do I get to play a F.I.D.E tournament. It it online or in person? How can I enroll for a tournament if it is going to be in person.
I have checked fide.com, but could not find details on how one can actually enroll for a tournament.
Any information on this will be very much appreciated.
I believe its OTB only tournaments for there ratings. As for how my best guess would be to find a local chess club and ask them about how u can enter one...

Hi Spraveen,
there are only a few tournaments powered by the FIDE (Chess Olympics, World Championship etc.) directly. No chance to take part (-> qualification) for a normal chess player.
The best way to get in "contact" with the FIDE is to play (in person) tournaments which have an ELO-evaluation. ELO starts at about 1900 points an if you have enough points and credits (-> victories against Master players) you can become a FM (FIDE Master about 2200 pts), an IM (International Master about 2400 pts) and even a GM (Grandmaster about 2550 pts).

There is a minimum number of games against players with FIDE ratings you have to log in a three year period to get a FIDE rating (after three years, if you haven't qualified, results will "expire"), but I can't remember what it is now. Also, you won't be rated by FIDE if you lose all those games - you must also have at least one win or two draws in that minimum number to be rated.
This easiest way to get Fide rated is to play a closed tournament where 4/10 players are Fide rated and every player scores at least 1 point. That is how I got mine.
Is any registration fee to join in FIDE tournament for first time
Surely there has to be an official website for FIDE...
Can someone please tell how to get a FIDE rating?
