Hi Karen! No matter when your connecting flight to Goa is scheduled. You must apply for an e-arrival card within 72 hours prior to your arrival in India.

Hello Sir! India’s e-Arrival Card is mandatory for foreign nationals and OCI cardholders. If your son-in-law is an Indian passport holder, he does not need to get a digital e-arrival card to enter India.

My Son-in-Law is a green card holder and planning to come to India in Nov 2025 from USA. Whether Digital e- Arrival Card is required or not? If so, How to apply?
But, he is already possessing e-gate immigration approval from the Bureau of immigration, N.Delhi and directly enter into arrival Airport through E- gate. In such a case, e- arrival card is required or not? This is a duplication of the existing system.
Pl.reply with proper clarification.

I am an OCI holder and arrived in India on Oct 11. I was strictly advised by the Airline staff to fill the earrival form. It was easy and it was further confirmed at immigration that OCI holders are required to fill that form.
