Since February 2022, Karnataka\u2019s guidelines for international arrivals to Bangalore International Airport and Mangalore Airport have been relaxed<\/strong>. The removal of the Air Suvidha form, effective from November 21, has made it a lot easier to travel to India from the United States and other countries. Besides, full-vaccination or pre-departure RT-PCR testing is no longer a mandatory requirement. However, the wake of a subvariant of Omicron BF.7 causing a COVID-19 surge in China and other countries has pushed India to take precautionary measures.<\/p>\n The latest circular on \u201cIndia\u2019s Guidelines for International Arrivals\u201d states, \u201cAll travelers should preferably be fully vaccinated as per the approved primary schedule of vaccination in their country of citizenship or residence.\u201d If you\u2019re fully vaccinated and taking flights to Bengaluru from USA<\/a><\/span> or any other country, make sure to carry the vaccination proof. As of now, travelers from only five countries \u2013 China, Thailand, Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong \u2013 have to take an RT-PCR test before traveling to India.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
