I am scheduled to travel on international flights to New Delhi from USA<\/a><\/span>. Shall I take an RT-PCR test and submit a self-declaration form on Air Suvidha? <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Indian Government\u2019s revised guidelines for international arrivals make RT-PCR testing and Air Suvidha registration mandatory for you if you transit through Japan, Singapore, or any high-risk country while traveling to New Delhi from USA, the UK, Europe, Canada, Australia, and the Middle East. Neither pre-departure COVID-19 testing nor Air Suvidha form is mandatory for India-bound passengers from non-risk countries, such as the US, if their itineraries don\u2019t have transit in a high-risk country.<\/p>\n

What are India\u2019s current guidelines for international travelers coming from non-risk countries? <\/strong><\/h4>\n

The guidelines for international travelers to New Delhi are simple, given their travel origin being a non-risk country. If you travel on nonstop flights to India from USA<\/a><\/span> or any other non-risk or low-risk country, neither your departure nor your arrival is subject to regulations<\/strong>. However, the government of India said, \u201cAll travelers should preferably be fully vaccinated as per the approved primary schedule of vaccination in their country of citizenship or residence\u201d. Fully-vaccinated travelers from non-risk countries should carry their vaccination proof. They are not obligated to undergo a COVID-19 test prior to departure or fill out an Air Suvidha form.<\/p>\n

What is the post-arrival procedure at New Delhi Airport for travelers from non-risk countries? <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Only 2% of them are subject to random testing on arrival, according to India\u2019s latest regulations for travelers flying in from abroad. If you are asymptomatic, you can leave the airport or take a connecting domestic flight after the sample collection for random testing. The result of the random test will be communicated to you. Besides, there is thermal screening at the airport. Only asymptomatic children under 12 years of age are exempt from random testing.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the post-arrival procedure at Delhi IGI Airport<\/a><\/span> for travelers from high-risk countries? <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Since travelers from high-risk countries must arrive with a negative RT-PCR test report, they may not be subject to post-arrival random testing at New Delhi International Airport. your negative RT-PCR report will be duly checked and verified at Delhi Indira Gandhi Airport. If any of them is found symptomatic in thermal screening despite having a negative COVID-19 test report from the country of travel origin, she\/he will be isolated from fellow passengers and tested for the new Omicron variant.<\/p>\n
