AIR SUVIDHA DELHI AIRPORT - STEP BY STEP GUIDE ON HOW TO COMPLETE IT AND THE ISSUES YOU CAN COME ACROSS

By Claudia Lizeth last updated on November 28, 2022

It’s no longer news that India has opened up following the Covid-19 pandemic, and international flights have resumed already.

If you are traveling to India, then the Self Declaration Form on the ‘Air Suvidha’ portal is now one of the prerequisites for international travel to India, to facilitate hassle-free entry.

My Indian husband and I, filled in the Air Suvidha Form in March 2022, before traveling to India from Colombia.

In this article, I will describe the whole process, the documents required, the issues you might run into, and how things work out in immigration when you enter India. I will also keep on updating the article when I come across new info.

Table of Contents

What is Air Suvidha Form & Who Needs It?

Since the Covid-19 vaccinations started, different countries have come up with ways to track the health status of travelers to facilitate their entry. For example, to enter Qatar you need to do the Ehteraz registration .

For India, Air Suvidha is a Self Declaration Portal for all international passengers arriving in India from abroad. It is a portal where they can upload some documents for contactless self-declaration to ease their arrival process in India.

Air Suvidha official website

https://www.newdelhiairport.in/airsuvidha/apho-registration

Does Everyone Need Air Suvidha?

The short answer is yes.

It doesn’t matter whether you are an Indian citizen or OCI holder or NRI or a foreigner visiting India on a tourist visa, you would need to fill in the Air Suvidha form.

The implementation of the Air Suvidha portal intends to provide hassle-free, queue-free, and convenient air travel to all international passengers arriving in India

What about Air Suvidha Exemption Form?

Although there used to be an Air Suvidha Exemption in the past, it has been discontinued since the Omicron outbreak.

Is Air Suvidha for Delhi Airport Only?

Irrespective of the airport you are landing at, you need to fill in the Air Suvidha form. It is a one-stop solution designed for all international arrivals in India. It is just the website is of Delhi airport.

But whether you are flying to Kolkata, Bangalore, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai from abroad, you still need to fill in the self-declaration form for India.

How To Fill Air Suvidha Form for Self-Declaration?

Completing the Air Suvidha form is not that complicated at all. You can do it anytime before boarding ideally if you are fully vaccinated. If not, you can do it 3 days before departure to India.

Documents Required for Air Suvidha Form

There is only one document that you definitely need for the Air Suvidha Form. It can be either one of the documents below.

Covid vaccine certificate
RTPCR test taken within 72 hours of your departure.

Along with this, you can optionally upload the passport bio page.

Step 1: Fill in your personal details

Head to the Air Suvidha official website , and fill in the mandatory details.

These include

Date of birth
Flight Number arriving in India
Nationality
Passport number
Date of arrival
Domestic flight details if you are taking any
Country of departure
City of departure
First airport of Entry

What are the city and country of departure for connecting flights?

In our case, we flew from Colombia to India, with stopovers in Brazil and Qatar, with the same PNR. So the country of departure was Colombia, while the flight number that arrived in India was the one we flew on from Qatar to India.

In the same way, for us, Bogota in Colombia was the city of departure.

If you are taking a direct flight, then the city and country would be from where you are flying.

Are you taking domestic flights?

If you are taking any domestic flights after landing in India, you need to provide the domestic flight number as well.

Step 2 : Provide Final Destination Address

The final destination should be where you would be staying at.

So for example, if the first airport in India that you would be landing at is Delhi but from Delhi, you would be taking a domestic flight to Patna, where you live, then your final destination is Patna.

So the address should be for Patna only in that case.

In our case, we landed in Bangalore which was our final destination, so we provided the address details for Bangalore.

You also need to provide a working phone number.

Step 3: Declare Current Health Status

After this, you need to provide your health status by choosing Yes/No for the following.

Symptoms of fever, cold, or respiratory distress
Suffering from Diabetes
Hypertension
Bronchial Asthma
Under Immunosuppressive Therapy
Post Transplant Patients (Yes/No)

Since we didn’t have any of them, we simply provided No for all of them.

Then, you can provide the countries you have been to in the last 14 days.

We provided Qatar and Colombia.

Step 4: Upload Documents

Once you fill in the forms, you can upload the documents like passport and vaccination proof and RT-PCR test in PDF format. The maximum upload size is 1MB.

Step 5: Receive the confirmation and email

Once you click on submit, you should see a confirmation screen with a reference number.

At the same time, you will also receive an email with a PDF of your application.

How to Check Air Suvidha Application Status?

You can do the Air Suvidha status check by visiting Track Application Status, from the Air Suvidha dropdown on the top right corner.

After this, you would need to provide the application request number, your passport number, and your date of birth.

Track your Air Suvidha Application Status on Air Suvidha Portal

Usually, the status would be that your application has been received.

Do You Have to Take RT-PCR Test for Air Suvidha Form Filling?

While many countries still need the mandatory RT-PCR conducted 72 hours prior to the scheduled departure, for entering India it is no longer required if the travelers can show their full Vaccination Certificate.

The vaccination certificate must be for one of the approved vaccines.

However, this applies to people from 87 countries, including Canada, Australia, the USA, & the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, and many others. You can check the entire list here .

Air Suvidha Delhi Airport- no RT PCR test needed

Since we were fully vaccinated, there was no reason for us to upload the RT-PCR test results on the Air Suvidha portal. However, this was a required field and we were not able to complete the form without uploading the PCR test results.

Now, in our case, we had to do the RT-PCR test as we needed to pass through Brazil and then Qatar. So we simply uploaded the same test.

If you face a similar situation, try to clear the cache and cookies from the browser and resubmit the form again. Or try doing it on a different browser. You’ll most likely be able to submit the form without the RT-PCR test.

If that doesn’t work, here is what you can do.

Upload the vaccination certificate again for RT-PCR test
Select a date with 72 hours of arrival

This is approved by the Air Suvidha Delhi Airport authorities , and we have known people personally who have done it.

How To Edit Your Air Suvidha Self-Declaration Form?

In case you believe that you have made a mistake while filling out Air Suvidha Form, you can always go and edit the form.

To do this, navigate to Air Suvidha > Edit Self Declaration Form on the top right corner of Air Suvidha Portal.

You would need to provide the following details and click on the Submit button.

Air Suvidha application number
Your passport number
Your date of birth.

Entering India with Air Suvidha

We were asked to demonstrate the Air Suvidha form (that we received in the email) by the airlines before boarding the flights in Colombia and Qatar. So there is a big chance that they will ask you the same.

We landed at Bangalore airport and were asked to queue up at a health-check counter right before the immigration. There are no separate queues for Indians and foreigners at the health check counter.

There we had to produce the Air Suvidha Form, which we simply showed from the phone. You can carry the Air Suvidha Form printout as well.

We also had to show the Covid vaccination certificates. We took the vaccines in India so they verified it real fast. In case, you took it in any other country, you can show the same.

After all this, they stamped our boarding pass and we proceeded to the immigration.

How To Upload COVID Test On The 8th Day On Air Suvidha?

In case, you aren’t fully vaccinated for Covid or belong to countries (other than the 87 countries mentioned above), then you will have to upload the COVID test on the 8th Day on Air Suvidha.

To do this, you would need to retrieve the application using

Application Number
Passport Number

Air Suvidha FAQs

1. When to Fill in Air Suvidha Form?

By following these simple guidelines, travellers can help make sure that their arrival in India goes as smoothly as possible.

What is a customs declaration form.

In order to help ensure that the country’s customs process runs smoothly, travellers may be required to fill out a customs declaration form. This form will provide officials with information about the traveller and the items they are bringing into the country.

Is the Customs Declaration Form mandatory for all travellers to India?

Since 2016, the Customs Declaration Form is mandatory only for passengers having prohibited or dutiable goods in their possession or goods in excess of their eligible duty-free allowance .

Earlier it was mandatory for all passengers and known as a disembarkation card.

How to Get the Indian Customs Declaration Form

If you are travelling to an Indian airport from outside India, you can request the cabin crew for a Customs Declaration Form. Most airlines will have copies of the form to distribute if needed. In case you don’t get it from your flight, you can get it at the port of entry before the Immigration Counter.

If you have goods above the duty-free limit, make sure to file the correct declaration of your baggage in the Customs Declaration Form and opt for the Red Channel.

Contents of Indian Customs Declaration Form

The Customs Declaration Form asks for the following details:

Name of the Passenger
Passport Number

Additionally, visitors should be aware that they may be asked to open their luggage for inspection at any time. However, if everything is in order, the process of clearing customs should be fairly straightforward.

It is important to keep this form safe, as you may need to show it when exiting the country. For those who lose their form, replacement copies can be obtained from the customs office at the airport.

Self Declaration Form On Air Suvidha No Longer Needed For India Travel

Last Updated on Nov 15th, 2023 by Heena Ganotra, 371 comments

As per the latest guidelines for international travel to India (given on 21 Dec 2022 and effective 24 Dec 2022), the Air Suvidha form came back on 1 Jan 2023 for 6 countries, namely Singapore, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, Thailand, and China.

However, now, it has been discontinued again.

The information given below is no longer valid but has been kept for future use, in case the form comes back again.

Why Did India End The Air Suvidha Form Requirement?

Indian government ended the Air Suvidha form requirement to offer relief to passengers traveling internationally to India. Since the form was nothing but a hassle with its “edit” and “track” options causing issues every now and then, the Union Ministry decided to put an end to the root cause i.e. the filling up of the Self Declaration form on the Air Suvidha portal.

Ministry’s Statement | Official Announcement

The announcement from the Civil Aviation ministry was as follows –

In the light of sustained declining COVID-19 trajectory and significant advances being made in COVID-19 vaccination coverage both globally as well as in India, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare has issued revised ‘Guidelines for International Arrivals’.

Revised Guidelines for International Arrivals in India

One of the major guidelines says, “All travelers should preferably be fully vaccinated as per the approved primary schedule of vaccination against Covid-19 in their country.” The word “preferably” is to be focused on. So even if you aren’t fully vaccinated, you can now travel to India without having to pay any penalties. This would indeed be a sigh of relief for many! For more details on revised guidelines, check here .

Why Has Air Suvidha Come Back?

“The health ministry is examining reintroduction of mandatory ‘air suvidha’ forms for international arrivals with details of RT-PCR test conducted 72 hours prior to travel or complete vaccination proof for passengers coming from China and other countries reporting the high number of Covid cases.” Official Source

Air Suvidha | What Was It?

Air Suvidha was an online contactless solution by the Ministry of Civil Aviation and Delhi Airport on behalf of the Ministry of Health and FW (MOHFW India) for all international passengers coming to India. It was a Self Declaration Portal for International arriving passengers. Launched in August 2020, it promoted contactless self-declaration to ease the process for international travelers arriving in India.

Whether you were flying to Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad, or Kolkata, you had to fill the same Air Suvidha form available on the Delhi IGI Airport website. It was a one-stop solution for all international passengers arriving in India, irrespective of their entry airport and final destination in India.

History of the air suvidha form.

Want to know how this form was filled just for fun or curiosity’s sake? Here’s how.

No Uploading Of Either RT-PCR or Vaccination Certificate

The Indian government has eliminated the uploading of either RT-PCR or vaccination certificates on the Air Suvidha form. This comes as a relief because the portal remained down on a regular basis and uploading forms on the same was a pain.

However, please note that filling out the Air Suvidha form is still mandatory for foreign arrivals in India. Also, you will have to carry –

RT-PCR test conducted within 72 hours of your departure (if not vaccinated) OR
Certificate of completing *full primary vaccination schedule

These will be checked and verified by the officials at the airport itself.

How To Fill Air Suvidha Self-Declaration Form

Post the new set of guidelines that were released on 10 February 2022 (effective from 14 February 2022) , the mandatory RT-PCR conducted 72 hours prior to the scheduled departure is no longer required if the travelers can show their full Vaccination Certificate. Kids below 5 years of age, however, are exempted to undergo RT-PCR tests even if they are not fully vaccinated.

Please note that passengers from only 133 countries are allowed to show their primary vaccination schedule completion certificate. Passengers from other countries will have to show the RT-PCR test. You can check the entire list here.

Now that we know this, here’s how to fill out the Air Suvidha form-

I’m traveling from Singapore to Trichy I am fully vaccinated. And do I need to do RTPCR test before I travel? I am fully vaccinated. And I need to do an RTPCR test. Before travel, Can you please guide me on this?

Hello Sudhakar ji,

No, you won’t need the RT-PCR test before India arrival. RT-PCR has been mandated for travelers coming from 5 countries for now – China, South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, and Thailand. So you can travel without any apprehensions.

I think Singapore is added to the list. I got a mail from Singapore airlines if you are travelling from Jan 1

Hello Subba ji,

Indeed. The guidelines are being released, revised, and re-released like hotcakes. We are trying to stay and keep travelers updated as much as we can. Thank you so much for this though. We appreciate your promptness.

I am flying from the U.S. to India with a connection in Japan. (My bags will be checked straight through. The incoming flight lands on one evening and the outgoing flight leaves next morning.) Will I be considered as coming from the U.S. or Japan?

I am travelling from Nepal. Whats things should be done for me to arrvive bangalore.?

Hi my wife and two son planning to come back to India from Japan January 1st 2023 . What they need?

Hello Prof. Suraj,

They will need to produce a negative RT-PCR test result on arrival. While the guidelines say that passengers from Japan also need to fill in the Air Suvidha form but it hasn’t made its way to the website where it currently was as yet. However, we’ll let you know if it does.

hey am coming india in 31st from dubai is there any problem i face in the new delhi airport , i complete have two covisheild vaccine dose, please tell me what things be i need

I am travelling from China to Mumbai on 1st Jan.2022. Do I need to fill Air Suvidha form? And do I need to do RTPCR test before I travel? I am fully vaccinated. Can you please guide me on this?

Hello Pratik,

The government still hasn’t restarted the Air Suvidha form-filling facility. So even though the guidelines say that people coming from these 5 countries (China, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Thailand) need to fill in the Air Suvidha form, one really can’t which is super strange. Maybe they are in the middle of doing it. We’ll keep this space updated.

About the RT-PCR test, you will have to produce a negative RT-PCR test on arrival indeed. Hope this helps!

I am travelling to Bangalore on Jan. 9th of Jan 2023. Is there a requirement to get manditory Covid testing is done upon arrival. Or any other requirement that I should be aware of.

Hello Richard,

It depends on where you are coming from. Would you mind sharing that?

Insight: As of today (Dec 27, 2022), a negative RT-PCR test report is only mandatory for travelers coming from 5 countries – China, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Thailand.

Others neither need to show a negative RT-PCR report on arrival nor do they have to mandatorily undergo COVID testing on arrival. However, 2% of passengers from each flight will be asked (on a random basis) to get tested. Even in that case, your sample will be collected and you will be free to go to your destination. Your plans won’t have to change. If your sample comes out to be positive, the authorities will contact you and ask you to quarantine. Hope this helps.

Thanks Heena for the prompt response. My wife an I are from Canada and will be travelling to Bangalore, India.

Sir/Mdm, I am traveling to India from Los Angeles on January 8, arrivinf Delhi on January 20. Do I need covid test before departure and also do I need to fill up Air Suvida form.

Hello Sharwan ji,

As per the latest guidelines released, you will neither need to undergo the COVID test nor fill up the Air Suvidha form (currently discontinued). However, please stay tuned to this space since the guidelines are changing quickly and travelers might need to fill in a few things.

But as of today (27 Dec 2022), you don’t have to worry about anything.

Hi Team, My wife is travelling from USA to HYD on 26th Dec,2022. Whether we need to fill Air Suvidha form or PCR test required ? She is fully vaccinated and have vaccine certificate.

The Air Suvidha form is no longer required for India International travel. Hence, you won’t need to fill the same. This revised guideline was issued on 21 November 2022 by the Union Health Ministry and came into effect on 22 November 2022. Hope this helps! 🙂

Hello Raj ji,

The Air Suvidha form is no longer required for India International travel. Hence, you won’t need to show the same. This revised guideline was issued on 21 November 2022 by the Union Health Ministry and came into effect on 22 November 2022.

And no, you wouldn’t have to take the RT-PCR test. Hope this helps! 🙂

Can i fill this form 3 or 4 days before flight

Hello Faizal ji,

Hi Heena We are traveling to India this November. My daughter is 26years, does she fill out a separate air suvidha form. Thank you

Hello Kalpana ji,

Your daughter won’t have to fill out a separate Air Suvidha Form. Towards the end, against the question – How many passengers are traveling with you on the same flight and to the same final destination? – choose the number and that’s where you can fill in all the details. Hope this helps. We wish you a safe journey ahead. 🙂

My daughter is 10 year old and she has not taken any vaccination. Does she need to take PCR test to go to India?

Hello Disha ji,

Unvaccinated passengers above the age of 5 need to undergo the RT-PCR test to travel internationally to India indeed. Consequently, your daughter will have to take the test too. Hope this helps. Here’s wishing you a seamless journey ahead. 🙂

I am travelling from Malaysia coming Dec 2022. So I need to fill up air suvidha form?

I also travelling with kid 6 years old, she haven’t take any vaccination. She need to take pcr test ?

Please advise

Hello Prakash ji,

Yes, filling out the Air Suvidha Form is mandatory. Also, since your kid is 6 years old and isn’t vaccinated, she/he/they would have to undergo the RT-PCR test. Hope this helps. Should you have any more queries, please feel free to ask. We are right here to help! 🙂

India’s Current Guidelines for International Arrivals from High-risk and Non-risk Countries

The current guidelines for inbound international travelers to India took effect on 1 January 2023 . With six countries having been classified as high-risk, travelers even from non-risk countries are looking to know India’s entry regulations in view of COVID resurgence in some parts of the globe. Currently, China, Singapore, Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong have been identified as high-risk countries.

Are you traveling to India from or through a high-risk country? If yes, you are required to take an RT-PCR test within 72 hours before your international departure and upload the negative report on the Air Suvidha portal. You will be able to travel only if you are COVID negative. Asymptomatic children under 12 years of age are exempted from pre-departure testing.

Are you traveling to India from a non-risk country like the United States? If yes, you’re good to travel to India. Neither pre-departure RT-PCR testing nor Air Suvidha applies to your travel on nonstop flights to India from USA , or one/two-stop flights to India with transit in a non-risk country. However, the government of India recommends you should be fully-vaccinated and carry your vaccination proof.

Air Suvidha for International Travel to India

After 40 days of being eliminated with effect from 21 November 2022, the Air Suvidha portal has been reinstated for travelers coming from or transiting in the high-risk countries . Whether you need to fill out an Air Suvidha form online or not, it depends on your travel origin and international transit. Is Air Suvidha mandatory for your US to India travel? Yes if your itinerary has international transit in any of the high-risk countries: Singapore, Japan, China, Thailand, South Korea, and Hong Kong. We recommend checking our Air Suvidha guide for up-to-date information on how to fill out a self-declaration form and what information to provide, if there is high-risk international transit in your itinerary.

Post-arrival procedure at Indian airports

The current post-arrival procedure for international arrivals at Indian airports is much less rigorous than that during the pandemic. All passengers of international flights to India are obligated to undergo a body temperature check (thermal screening) upon arrival, and only 2% of them are subject to post-arrival random COVID-19 testing . If you are in the 2%, your swab samples will be collected for random testing. You can leave the airport or take a connecting flight for onward domestic travel. Only asymptomatic children younger than 12 years are exempted from random testing in India.

‘What if my sample collected for random testing is found positive?’ Your swab sample will be sent for genomic testing at a government-affiliated laboratory. The test result will be communicated to you, and you will have to follow the standard protocol. ‘What if thermal screening detects COVID-19 symptoms in me?’ You will be isolated and tested at a designated medical facility at or outside the airport.

What is India’s post-arrival procedure for travelers from high-risk countries? The aforementioned post-arrival guidelines equally apply to travelers arriving in India from or through the high-risk countries. Besides, their pre-departure RT-PCR test report and the self-declaration form submitted on the Air Suvidha portal will be strictly verified on arrival in India.

When is India going to address the issue of people who already have multi-entry visas… My visa don’t expire til 2027.. AM I going to be able to use this visa to come to India in December 2021? India needs to put out clear instructions as to what we are suppose to do to come for visit. I AM Vaccinated and just got my 3rd shot (a booster) I am USA Citizen. I need to know what to do… I would be flying from USA to Delhi

I found this on the Consulate of General India (this is the consulate in Houston, Texas)

The Government of India has decided to issue fresh tourist visas with effect from 15 October, 2021 for group tourism and from 15 November, 2021 for individual tourist travel. It may be noted that existing valid e-Tourist Visa/regular paper Tourist Visa, issued before 6 October 2021, will continue to remain suspended and travel on such visas is not permitted. Since individual travel on fresh tourist visa is allowed only from 15 November, applicants are advised not to send their application to the Consulate before 10 November, 2021. A Single Entry e-Tourist Visa/regular paper Tourist Visa valid for a stay of up to 30 days will be issued, which will have to be utilized within a period of 120 days from the date of issue. This visa will be issued on a gratis basis for a limited time once to each applicant. It may be noted that existing valid e-Tourist Visa/regular paper Tourist Visa issued before 6 October, 2021 will continue to remain suspended and travel on such visas is not permitted.

Traveling from US to india via Middle East, do we still need to take a PCR test in Middle East to enter india? And there is no quarantine required for travelers from US right? One test taken in US prior to boarding and uploading in india’s air suvidha website is enough? Can you please confirm?

Hi Juliana! No test to be taken in the Middle East. If Mumbai Airport is your port of entry, you will have to take a self-paid RT-PCR test on arrival in spite of the test you will take in the US.

For travelling in November from US to Mumbai via Dubai, does one need to undergo institutional quarantine if partially / not vaccinated? Are they still to conduct COVID tests after arrival despite of having negative RTPCR? Does Dubai halt add to the complication?

Hi Abee! There is no institutional quarantine in India. For travelers from the US, vaccination is still not a mandatory requirement for entry to India. As per Maharashtra’s guidelines, you need to take a self-paid RT-PCR test on arrival at Mumbai Airport.

My wife and 11 month old are travelling November 2nd. I am travelling with my 5 year old on November 18. Do we all need to take a covid test. Myself and my wife are vaccinated in USA. Myself and my wife are green card holders and our kids are US citizens.

Hi Manikandan! Everyone traveling to India, irrespective of their age, citizenship and travel origin, has to take an RT-PCR test within 72 hours prior to the scheduled departure.

HI, Thank you for patiently answering everyone’s questions on these confusing directives from India.

I am thinking of traveling from US to Dubai to Chennai in November. Do I have to take a Covid test upon arrival? Is there minimum stay required in India? What are the quarantine requirement in Tamil Nadu? If one is fully vaccinated, does it make it easier in terms of quarantine requirements?

Hi Resnick! As per India’s revised guidelines for travelers from abroad, bot the US and Dubai are outside the government’s list of countries at risk. On submission of a self-declaration form on Air Suvidha, you will receive a copy of the filled form to the registered email ID. If it shows a green strip, you don’t need to undergo an RT-PCR test on arrival at Chennai Airport. There is no minimum stay requirement. No quarantine for asymptomatic travelers from the US.

It looks like my actual itenary will be US – Athens – dubai to chennai.

Does it change anything?

Hi Resnick! You have higher chances of being exempted from taking a test on arrival.

Does Chennai airport require TN Epass requirement?

Hi, I am Pravin, will travel from Toronto with Negative RT-PCR test on 12th November to Ahmedabad via Abu Dhabi transit. Will I need to under go RT-PCR test at Ahmedabad being my final destination?

Hi Pravin! As per the revised guidelines that took effect on OCT 25, you are not required to take a test on arrival. Please note the local rules of the state may be different from the revised guidelines.

I have a qatar airways flight from US to India with transit in doha. They just cancelled my flight. Do we know why are they doing this and what should I do? I need to be in India by next week and the reschedule options are crazy expensive.

Hi Anurag! The flight might have been cancelled due to low occupancy. If you are a customer of IndianEagle.com, please call our customer support helpline.

I am US citizen and need to travel to India on Nov 15. Can I apply for Indian e tourist visa and travel? or is the travel not allowed on visitor visa

Hi Gaurav! You can apply for a fresh tourist visa for travel on or after NOV 15.

Hello IndianEagle team, thanks for sharing the guidance, much appreciated!

I am planning to travel from US to Delhi via Amsterdam (Netherlands). Would I be required to take RT-PCR test upon arrival on Delhi airport? If so, can I exit after giving the sample, or will have to wait till a negative result arrives? My domestic flight departs around four hours after I arrive (both are on Terminal-3). It seems I’ll miss the flight if I’ll be required to wait till the negative result arrives. Looking forward to your guidance.

Thank you in advance!

Hi Mustafa! If you’re asymptomatic, you have higher chances of being exempted from taking a test on arrival at Delhi Airport. In case you are required to undergo a test, you won’t have to wait for the test result. So, no worries.

Hi IndiaEagle team,

I have a flight from USA to Bangalore with one stop layover of 8 hrs in Dubai. Further i have a domestic connecting flight to Hyderabad after 4 hours in Bangalore airport. I am fully vaccinated with Pfizer vaccine.

I will be taking the RT PCR test within 72 hours of travel and upload on Air Suvidha.

I) Do I need to take any on arrival RT PCR test in Bangalore airport? Ii) will I be allowed to connect to the domestic flight to Hyderabad without any issues or testing requirements at Bangalore airport? iii) Is there any testing requirement on arriving in Hyderabad from Bangalore.?

Hi Siddharth! As per the revised guidelines, travelers arriving or transiting through the Middle East are not required to take a test on arrival if they are asymptomatic. No testing requirement at Hyderabad too.

Hi, We are planning to travel from US to Chennai on December 4th. We are a family of 4, 2 adults and 2 young kids aged 9 and 14. Just would like to confirm current requirements. 1. Need to upload RT-PCR negative report which is taken 72 hours prior to boarding. Interms of calculating the 72 hours, my domestic flight boarding starts on Dec 4th at 1:36PM but my first international connection at Chicago is at 6PM

Question is, if we take the RT-PCR test at 2PM on December 1st would that be okay and then upload the results as soon as it arrives?

2. We are reading about the Tamil Nadu e-Pass, When should we need to fill out the e-pass, can we go ahead do that now and get that out of the way

3. We are transiting through Abu Dhabi, are we subject to on arrival RT-PCR test at Chennai?

Thanks for you help

Hi Viswanathan! As per India’s revised guidelines, you are not subject to a post-arrival RT-PCR test if you are asymptomatic. You can register for a TN e-pass within 7 days prior to your scheduled departure. If your itinerary starting from the first domestic airport to the final destination has only one PNR, you should take an RT-PCR test within 72 hours prior to your scheduled travel from the first domestic airport in the US.

Thank you for the clarification . Much appreciated

I’m a US citizen with OCI. I’m planning to travel to Hyd at the end of December. I’m not sure why there are few options available now to book. I see a couple of flight options with reasonable prices. One is flying from SFO to Istanbul to Muscat to Hyderabad. Another is via Doha-Colombo-Hyd. Are these flights part of air bubble to agreement to land in India or will they cancel them eventually? Any special requirements (additional covid tests etc.) for travel through Istanbul? Thank you.

Hi Krishna! You can choose to travel the route Doha-Colombo-Hyd and book the flight on our portal IndianEagle.com. This is part of the air bubble corridor. You may need a transit visa (ETA) for Colombo.

Hello I am traveling usa to delhi via dubai (emirates)- with my wife and 2 kids {1 year (14 months) and 5 year old.}

I understand we still need the rt-pcr 72 hrs before departing under the new guidelines, but is there option for kids to be exempt using suvidha app?

Also is the molecule test that was mandatory at arrival in the past guidelines because of connecting flight in middle east(dubai) , has that ended? Can we just exit the airport on arrival? Or we still need to get the test?

Hi Sunny! Unfortunately, kids are not exempted from taking an RT-PCR test prior to traveling from the US. A post-arrival test is no more required for international travelers arriving from the US and transiting via the Middle East as per the revised guidelines if all of you are found asymptomatic on arrival at Delhi Airport.

hi do I need e pass travel from uk to Bangalore

Hi Thomas! You must register on https://sevasindhu.karnataka.gov.in/Sevasindhu/English for a travel pass.

Hi, my parents and I are traveling in november from boston to mumbia via british airways, so it has a layover in heathrow. We are all vaccinated and will comply with air suvidha rules. Will we need to be re tested in mumbai at arrival? or quarantine at the airport? i have elderly, that is why i am concerned.

Hi Mahebub! If you are found asymptomatic during thermal screening, you don’t need to take a post-arrival test at Mumbai Airport and undergo any sort of quarantine.

Hi, This is not clear what are rules for UK fully vaccinated arrival & what about kids ? Article says UK is in list of Risk & Category A both. I am travelling in December from UK to Mumbai then Ahmedabad. Do we have to take tests at mumbai airport? Thanks

Hi Pragnesh! Fully-vaccinated travelers from the UK, Germany and France are exempted from additional testing and quarantine in India. Make sure to upload your vaccination certificate and a negative RT-PCR test report on Air Suvidha within 72 hours prior to your scheduled departure from the UK.

Thanks for reply Indianeagle. We are planning to take test for all of us & have vaccine certificate for us. For kids only negative test is sufficient?

Hi Pragnesh! A negative RT-PCR test report is sufficient for kids traveling to India. FYI, kids below 5 years of age are exempted from taking an RT-PCR test before and after arrival in India.

Hello. I will be traveling on November 18 th from USA to Bangalore via Paris . I am taking delta airlines . Do I need to get the RTPCR test done once I arrive at Bangalore

Hi Ranjani! Not required if you are found asymptomatic during thermal screening at BLR Airport.

Hi there, If I want to travel for one week from USA to India, Is that a possibility? I notice 14 days self-monitoring for now. What is the rule if my trip s 7 days or less than 14 days. Thank you

Hi Mani! Self-monitoring of health is unlike home-quarantine. If you are fully vaccinated and asymptomatic, you are exempted from any sort of quarantine in India. So, you can travel back in a week of arrival.

Hi IndianEagle

I have trip which has been planned for over a year and all the changes are confusing, could you clarify a few areas please. Myself and my wife are flying from UK to Bangalore, with a 7 hour layover to then transit on to Sri Lanka. We are both fully vaccinated and will have taken a PCR test 72 hours prior to leaving the UK. I have two issues currently with our planning 1. Issues regarding getting an e-Visa to travel, are these likely to be available again for UK residents soon or do we need to travel to an Indian High Commission in UK for paper visas? 2. Being fully vaccinated would we need a PCR/molecular test when arriving in Bangalore? If so do we need to await the 6-8 hours as stated or is this superseded by the Pct 25th update?

Hi Whisker! The UK citizens are currently barred from availing an e-tourist visa to India. But they can seek an Indian transit visa through the e-visa facility. Please be advised to go through https://www.evisasindia.org/transit-visa-for-india-guide/ . Fully-vaccinated travelers from the UK are exempted from additional testing on arrival in India if they are found asymptomatic during thermal screening.

Hi, I am travelling from UK to Chennai on December 2021, do I need to take a swab test in airport after arrival and home quarantine? I am fully vaccinated and have proof of vaccination. Where do I apply for the TN e-pass? I will complete the Air Suvidha form and upload a negative RT-PCR test. Is there anything else I need to do? Thank you very much.

Hi Kunal! Fully-vaccinated travelers from the UK are exempted from additional testing and quarantine in India. Make sure to upload your vaccination proof and a negative RT-PCR test report on Air Suvidha. https://tnepass.tnega.org/ is where you can apply for a TN e-pass.

HI can i carry printed documents like my proof of vaccine and PVR test result instead of downloading on air suvidha app, i am really struggling to download documents.

Hi Ashalata! You are not supposed to download documents from Air Suvidha. Rather, you are required to upload your vaccination proof and a negative RT-PCR report on Air Suvidha, which you will find on the website of Delhi Airport. You must upload and carry these documents.

Hello.. What are rules as recovered Covid19 ? I hold a certificate from EU saying i recovered from Covid19 (immunity certificate) – can i enter with this ?

Hi Jesper! Despite having the recovery certificate, you need to take an RT-PCR test within 72 hours prior to your scheduled travel to India. If you are fully-vaccinated, you won’t face any sort of quarantine in India.

Hi, I will be traveling from US to Mumbai and then to Coimbatore in December with one PNR. I have layover in Mumbai for 8 hrs. My domestic flight to Coimbatore will be more than 72 hrs of RT-PCR test. Do i need to take new RT-PCR test in Mumbai to travel to Coimbatore?

Hi Swetha! The 72 hours of the RT-PCR test is not linked to your domestic flight to Coimbatore. It is counted prior to your scheduled departure on an international flight. So, no worries.

Hi, we are flying on AA flight of JFK to Delhi next week for two vaccinated parents with a unvaccinated 4 year child. We are to stay in a hotel near the Delhi Airport then take flight to Kolkata following day. All 3 of us hold oci.

I’ve noticed on latest guidelines document of 7 day home quarantine for unvaccinated minors. Would you know if this will cause trouble in Delhi with planned one night hotel stay then onward domestic flight on next day? Or can this home quarantine be avoided by having her do the pcr test before leaving even when not required? Thanks

Hi Vijay! FYI, asymptomatic kids below 5 years of age are exempted from taking an RT-PCR test before and after arrival in India, irrespective whether they are vaccinated or not. In our knowledge, unvaccinated minors are not subject to home-quarantine in India if they are asymptomatic.

Thanks. Also I later found this flow chart on India’s Ministry of Affairs website which cleared out confusion as well, it clearly shows that the quarantine requirement is only if you are from a “country at risk”. Moreover it seems to show that they dont care for vaccination status at all if your not from a “country at risk” so from USA/Canada no requirement but it does matter from Europe, UK, etc which are on the list:

Hello Indian Eagle , What are rules as recovered Covid19 ? I hold a recovery letter from my medical provider saying I recovered from Covid19, can I enter with this ? and in spite of that, If I need to take test 72 hours within my departure and If I come out to be positive than, what will be the scenario?

Hi Jay! If you’re traveling to India from abroad, it is mandatory to take an RT-PCR test within 72 hours prior to your scheduled travel to India.

Hi, I am travelling from NewYork – Franfurt – Bengaluru on Dec 23rd. As per the new guidelines , do i need to take a self paid PCR test at BLR and wait for results before leaving the airport, even though i am fully vaccinated and provide RT-PCT negative at the time of boarding?

Hi Sella! As of now, the state government of Karnataka has made post-arrival RT-PCR testing mandatory for travelers arriving from or through South Africa, Botswana and Hong Kong. Your travel is still three weeks away. We will keep sharing latest updates on our Twitter page.

Hey great article! Thank you for the info. For those not fully vaccinated what is the quarantine requirement? does it have to happen in a special hotel? What if I don’t have a home to do it in? Thanks!

Hi Trina! Those not fully vaccinated are subjected to a self-paid RT-PCR test on arrival in India. If they are found negative, they will undergo 7-day home quarantine in their final destination. Institutional quarantine applies only if the result is positive. In case of having no residence, you can home-quarantine yourself at a hotel.

I am traveling WAS-FRA-DEL-BHO on the 5th of December. Am I required to take RT-PCR in Delhi and wait for the results before boarding connecting flight? Are the RAPID PCR test accepted in this case? Also, will we have to quarantine for 7 days after reaching destination. FWIW, we are fullly vaccinated.

Hi Sachin! Usually, fully-vaccinated travelers from the US are exempt from post-arrival COVID-19 testing, except at Mumbai Airport. But, only 2% of total passengers of a flight arriving from the US will be tested randomly on arrival at other airports in India. If you fall in 2%, you will have to give your swab sample for a non-payable RT-PCR test at Delhi Airport. If you are found asymptomatic during thermal screening at Delhi Airport, you will be allowed to take the connecting flight after giving your swab sample. No quarantine. You shall only self-monitor your health for 14 days.

Hi, Thanks for the article. I wanted to make sure the rules are updated as of Nov 30, 2021. I am fully vaccinated and I have a direct flight from USA to Delhi. Do I have to undergo 7 day quarantine?

Can you please clarify?

Hi Achal! If you are found asymptomatic during thermal screening at Delhi Airport, you will be given exemption from home-quarantine. You will only have to self-monitor your health for 14 days post arrival.

Thanks a bunch for your updates on the covid protocol. I am fully vaccinated traveling on Dec 2nd from SF to Delhi and connecting to Bangalore after a 5 hour layover. As per the new guidelines issued by Karnataka yesterday, do I still need to take a RT-PCR test on arrival at BLR and quarantine for 7 days even though I am fully vaccinated?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Alex! Usually, fully-vaccinated travelers from the US are exempt from post-arrival COVID-19 testing, except at Mumbai Airport. But, only 2% of total passengers of a flight arriving from the US will be tested randomly on arrival at other airports in India. If you fall in 2%, you will have to give your swab sample for a non-payable RT-PCR test at Delhi Airport. If you are found asymptomatic during thermal screening at BLR Airport, no additional testing and quarantine. You shall only self-monitor your health for 14 days.

Sorry but this is confusing. You indicate her that US travelers to Mumbai will require a PCR test on arrival. But in reply to another question below, you say that vaccinated travelers are exempt from arrival PCR testing in Mumbai. So the 2% applies to Mumbai or is it true only for other airports? Thanks!

Hi John! Initially, Maharashtra made post-arrival testing mandatory for everyone traveling to Mumbai from abroad. With effect from December 2, 2021, this regulation has been revoked for fully-vaccinated travelers arriving from countries not at risk. 2% of the total passengers of every flight from a country not at risk will be randomly tested at any entry airport in India.

I am traveling on Saturday Dec 4. My itinerary is: Greensboro NC to LaGuardia to Montreal on American Airlines, then from Montreal to Doha to Cochin on Qatar Airways.

I was told I need an RT PCR test 72 hours before my trip. I have been receiving conflicting information: do I calculate 72 hours from the start of my domestic flight from Greensboro to LaGuardia, from the flight from LaGuardia to Montreal (my first international flight, or from Montreal to Doha?

Hi Promod! You need to take an RT-PCR test within 72 hours prior to your scheduled departure on an international flight from the US and that is LaGuardia to Montreal.

If my flight is connecting through Amsterdam, but my origin is US, do I have to do the 7 day quarantine?

Hi Kayal! If you are fully-vaccinated and if you are found asymptomatic in thermal screening on arrival, you will be allowed to go home and self-monitor your health for 14 days post arrival. Please note Mumbai/Pune is your first port of entry in India, the rules are different.

Hi, I’m travelling from Frankfurt to Bangalore on 10th Dec. I have connecting flight to Mangalore with 6 Hour Transit time. Since I have to wait for RTPCR test result, is the 6Hr. transit time is enough? Is it recommended to take appointment for rtpcr testing? What are the quarantine rules for travelers from Germany in Karnataka?

Thank you !

Hi Suman! If you choose to take a rapid RT-PCR test on arrival at BLR Airport, then 6-hr layover is sufficient. FYI, a rapid RT-PCR test costs approximately Rs. 5000 per person and the result is available in 1-2 hours. You can pre-book the test online. If you test negative, no institutional quarantine. Only 7-day home quarantine.

Hi, I have booked a flight in etihad airways from USA to Abu Dhabi to Bangalore in Dec last week. I’m an Indian passport holder living in USA. will it be a problem? Is India allowing passengers from Abu Dhabi originated from USA? as per the India Air bubble agreement, it says below ( https://www.civilaviation.gov.in/en/about-air-transport-bubbles ) Only Passengers originating from UAE or any country in South America or Africa should be allowed to travel on flights from UAE to India.

Hi Vinay! You can travel on Etihad Airways from USA to India. We booked Etihad flights for many of our customers and they traveled to their destinations in India hassle-free.

Hi traveling from UK to India via Kuwait (transit time 3 hrs) and arriving airport is Hyderabad Dec 16. I see you mention we can prebook RT-pcr test online. Where can we boom for it? Any website? If there is a website is it same for all airports in India? Or respective airport have their own website to book online? If so what is the website to pre-book online test at Hyderabad airport

Hi, I have booked a flight with Virgin Atlantic flight from New York to Delhi via London. I am fully vaccinated and will upload the pre-departure negative Covid test. I won’t be stepping out of the international transit passenger zone in London. Will I need to take an on arrival test? Thanks.

Hi Siddharth! As per the clarification from the Ministry of Civil Aviation, you are exempted from mandatory post-arrival testing if you are fully vaccinated and asymptomatic. But only 2% of the total passengers of every flight from a country not at risk, such as the US, will be tested randomly.

Going Newark to Mumbai nonstop on Dec 17. Fully vaccinated. With the new rules now following omicron, will we have a mandatory 7 day home quarantine in Mumbai. Alternately, if we choose to fly to Chennai – either right after Mumbai arrival, or after 3 days at home in Mumbai, can we do that? Or will the 7 day quarantine come in the way if we leave Mumbai airport? We heard that there are exceptions for short stays. Appreciate any advice, thank you.

Hi, I am going to Bengaluru from San Francisco with a transit stop in Dubai on Dec 25. Layover at Dubai is about 27 hours. I plan to visit dubai during this time. I am an indian passport holder with US green card. I will complete and upload RT-PCR test results to air suvidha 72 hours before departure at SFO. Do I still need to take the covid test on arrival on Bengaluru as I stayed in dubai for more than a day? Thanks

Hi Sunil! The UAE is not yet among the countries that the government of India has identified as countries at risk. Hence, in our knowledge, you may not be needed to take a test on arrival at BLR airport if you are fully vaccinated and asymptomatic. FYI, only 2% of the total passengers of a flight from a country not at risk will be tested randomly on arrival at any airport in India. If you’re identified for random testing, you can leave the airport or take a connecting domestic flight after giving your swab sample.

Hi, I have a domestic flight which starts at Noon and then international flight from JFK to DOH to AMD. Flight from JFK starts 9.30pm. When do i need to schedule my RT-PCR test? Within 72 hrs of my first leg of the journey which starts at Noon? Or within 72 hrs of my international flight from JFK which starts at 9.30pm?

Hi Tarang! You can take an RT-PCR test within 72 hours prior to your international flight from JFK.

So even if i have single ticket (same PNR), i need to calculate 72 hrs from the start of international flight and not the first domestic leg?

I am getting my pcr test done before travelling fro usa to mumbai Is this test same as Rtpcr.

Hi Ruchi! It may be the same. Make sure that the negative report must mention RT-PCR.

Hi Are OCI card holder travellers from US to Mumbai transiting through London, UK subject to 7 day home quarantine ?

We are not changing airport in London – will be in the airside all the time (5 hour transit)

Hi Krish! If you are fully-vaccinated, COVID negative and asymptomatic, you are exempt to home-quarantine in India.

Hi, I am going to Hyderabad from Los Angeles via Doha on Dec 28. The layover at Doha is about 17 hours. I am an Indian passport holder with H1B. I will complete and upload RT-PCR test results to air suvidha 72 hours before departure at LAX. Here are my questions:

– Do I have to get a Covid Test in Doha again? – Do I still need to take the on-arrival Covid Test at Hyderabad airport?

Hi Sameera! In our knowledge, taking a test is not mandatory during transit/layover at Doha Airport if you don’t leave the immigration area/transit area. Both the US and Qatar being not in the risk category, you are exempt to mandatory post-arrival testing. But if you are found symptomatic in thermal screening, if you are unvaccinated/partially vaccinated, or if you are identified among the 2% of total passengers arriving from a country not at risk (for random testing), your swab sample will be collected for a test before you leave the airport.

Hi I am flying to Mumbai from Australia next week with a layover of 5 hours in Sri Lanka. I am fully vaccinated but my daughter who is 9 years old is unvaccinated. We both will get tested within 72 hours prior to flying. Does my daughter need to get tested again on arrival at Mumbai Airport? If yes do I have to book an appointment in advance and will she have to be quarantined at home even if RTPCR is negative. Thanks

Hi Usha! Pre-booking a post-arrival test is mandatory for travelers from countries at risk. Neither Australia nor Sri Lanka is in the risk category. If you (though vaccinated) or your daughter is found symptomatic in thermal screening on arrival, a test will be conducted.

Hi, My cousin tested positive for covid 3 days back. His 14 days isolation period ends on Dec 31st . When can he fly from Toronto to New Delhi via Air Canada. Also, does he need to get a travel RT PCR test ?. My understanding, it will come positive regardless ,for several weeks. Kindly clarify. Thanks

Hi Ranu! As per the government of India’s guidelines, you must have a negative RT-PCR test report to travel to India.

Upon arrival in Mumbai , will be going to Pune via private car. Final destination is Pune. Am I subject to mandatory 7-day home quarantine rule upon reaching Pune? Thanks,

Hi Vee Kay! 7-day home quarantine is mandatory for only those final destination is Mumbai. So, those traveling to Pune may not face home-quarantine if they are asymptomatic.

Thanks IndianEagle, However, I would be subjected to home quarantine in Mumbai, if I get out of the airport, right?

The guidance from MahaGovt says such passengers will not be allowed to use public transport and the DistrictCollector of Mumbai will arrange the transportation from them. Does that mean private transportation will not be allowed? thanks again for your feedback.

Hi Vee Kay! Private transportation is allowed for road travel from Mumbai Airport to any other part of the state. If you reside or stay in Mumbai, only then you will be subjected to mandatory home-quarantine.

Unaccompanied minors

When Kids Fly Alone

Your little one is in command! From check-in to landing, we are your young explorer's trusted co-pilot.

Who is an unaccompanied minor?

Children between the ages of 5 and 12 travelling alone, domestically or internationally with us, are considered as unaccompanied minors.

We adore our youngest travellers. However, to prioritise their safety and comfort, we do not extend our unaccompanied minor services to children under five years. We request they remain in the comfort of their guardians throughout the journey.

Booking your child's solo adventure

There are a few formalities that need to be completed before your little globetrotter sets off for the journey: .

You must print and fill out all required details and submit four copies of the ' Unaccompanied Minor Form ' at the nearest Air India office. Please submit the form at least three days before the scheduled departure date.
The check-in procedure must be completed at the airport counter to ensure all documents are verified and requirements are accommodated. Also, ensure that the check-in procedure is completed at least two hours before departure.
Additionally, ensure your child has all the relevant forms and documents on them, including a valid photo ID.

Think of the below as our commitment to your little one’s safety:

You or a trusted guardian must escort them to and receive them at the airport.
You (as a parent or a guardian) will need to present a valid photo ID when dropping off and picking up your child.

Assistance through the airport

Our crew member will become your child’s airport buddy. They will navigate together from the check-in gate, completing all the airport formalities, to the comfortable seat of the aircraft.

Trust us. Our staff members are not just aviation experts but also proficient at answering all those ‘Why’ and ‘How’ questions from your little one.

Care on the flight

Our skilled cabin crew are your child’s concierge in the sky. From fastening seatbelts to stowing up hand baggage and aiding in lavatory visits, they have got it all under control.
As for the in-flight experience, air travel can sometimes bring queasiness and a nip in the air. So, ensure you pack your kid's go-to essentials in their backpack.
Are you concerned about your little one's meal preferences? We have a unique child meal option and are here to cater to any dietary requirements.
Due to safety reasons, we do not allow unaccompanied minors to be seated in the emergency exit row.

After they land

On landing, a crew member will guide your little one through all the airport formalities, including immigration and customs, for international journeys.

Here, we reunite your child with you or the designated guardian, as mentioned in the 'Unaccompanied Minor' form.

Minor in different classes of travel

If your child travels in a different class but with you or a guardian on the same flight, they will receive the same care as an unaccompanied minor.

They will take their seat before the other passengers have boarded the flight. After landing, we will reunite you with your little one at the airport.

Is your child on a multi-city flight?

Multi-city flights can feel like a whirlwind. While our crew members are there to assist your child, we need your support with the following:

Please complete and sign the necessary form copies at the check-in point for each departure airport before the journey.
We request you or the designated guardian be at the airport well in advance, allowing us to complete all the necessary formalities in time.
Unaccompanied minor services are provided for flights operated by Air India only.

Age policy for travel between India and Gulf countries

The age range for unaccompanied minors varies between United Arab Emirates (UAE) and other Gulf countries:

In the UAE, children between 5 and 18 years old are considered unaccompanied minors.
In other Gulf countries, children between 5 and 16 years are considered unaccompanied minors.

If your travel squad includes children aged 5 to 12 years and 12 to 18 years travelling together, the children aged 5 to 12 years will be considered unaccompanied minors. To ensure a smooth journey, we must know who will drop off and pick up the child.

Minors travelling to and from the UK

Minors travelling to the uk.

For young travellers under 18 years jetting off without you or a designated guardian, the UK Border Force requires a consent form signed by both parents. For the latest information on the regulations, please click here .

Minors travelling from the UK

If you are travelling with a young traveller below 18, you must follow a few rules and complete some formalities before you travel abroad.

Before you travel

You need to request permission from everyone responsible for the child.
If you have yet to receive permission from everyone with parental responsibility for the child, you must seek court permission.

Please click ' here ' to read more about the formalities and procedures.

When you travel

Please fill out and bring the consent form with you.
Carry a valid photo ID of both parents.
You need to carry your child's birth certificate.
