In November 2022, Air Suvidha was removed for travelers flying into India from non-risk countries<\/strong>. As of today, India-bound travelers from the United States, the UK, Australia, Canada, Mexico, the UAE, Qatar and other non-risk countries are not obligated to take a pre-arrival RT-PCR test or submit a self-declaration form on the Air Suvidha portal.<\/p>\n

Until 12 February 2023, pre-departure RT-PCR testing and Air Suvidha registration were mandatory for travelers arriving from or transiting in Singapore, Japan, or any other high-risk country, irrespective of their vaccination status. These requirements have been eliminated with effect from February 13.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In August 2020, the government of India launched AIR SUVIDHA, a first-of-its-kind facility easing travel to India for international travelers during the pandemic. Integrated to the website of New Delhi International Airport, Air Suvidha can make or break your travel plans for India. Compulsory for those traveling on international flights to India<\/a><\/span> from\/through high-risk countries, the Air Suvidha self-declaration form has been simplified over time. Filling out the Air Suvidha form online is the very first step to take for hassle-free travel to India from\/through high-risk countries. Without this form or with incorrect details in the form, you will be denied boarding at the origin airport.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On Air Suvidha, you must fill out a self-declaration form, disclose your travel details of the past 14 days (if any), and provide details of your completed full-vaccination schedule or upload a negative RT-PCR test report within 72 hours of undertaking the journey to India if your flight originates in or transits through a high-risk country. You don\u2019t need to upload your vaccination proof, or negative RT-PCR report, or proof of recovery from COVID-19 on Air Suvidha, if there is no high-risk country in your itinerary. <\/strong>However, you should carry the original vaccination card\/certificate if you are fully-vaccinated.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The website of New Delhi IGI Airport<\/a><\/span> integrates Air Suvidha in the top right corner<\/strong>. A single click on Air Suvidha opens up a dropdown menu wherein you can access a new self-declaration form, or edit an already filled and submitted self-declaration form, or track the application status. You must fill out the Air Suvidha Self Declaration form with your (if you\u2019re a primary traveler) contact number, passport number, PNR, flight\/tail number, and other details. Kindly note that you can edit the form only once.<\/p>\n

On successful submission of the self-declaration form, you will receive an email confirmation carrying a PDF attachment<\/strong>. Make sure to take 2-3 color printouts of the PDF because the hard copy may be asked for during boarding and on arrival. It will help not only you, but also the officials in expediting the boarding process and reducing inbound traffic congestion in the arrival area of entry airports. If an email confirmation does not hit the inbox or if there is no PDF attached to the email, you can track your application status on Air Suvidha portal before traveling on last-minute flights to India<\/a><\/span> in emergency.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Many travelers wonder whether they should use the same Air Suvidha form hosted on Delhi IGI Airport<\/span> website if they are flying to Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, or Kolkata. Air Suvidha is the one-stop solution. It is mandatory for you irrespective of your entry airport and final destination in India, if you are traveling from or through a high-risk country.<\/p>\n
