Air Suvidha to make arrival safe and easy for International Arriving Passengers

Delhi Airport makes International Arriving process easy by developing a contact-less solution in collaboration with Ministry of Civil Aviation for all passengers coming to India.

We at Delhi Airport, are continuously making the passenger’s journey seamless by introducing contact-less initiatives at all points possible. To make the journey more convenient and comfortable, we have introduced Self-Reporting and Exemption Forms for all International arriving passengers for contact-less and hassle-free journey. Therefore, all international arriving passengers coming to India can apply online through Delhi Airport.

Delhi Airport has developed an online system for passengers to submit mandatory Self-Declaration form / Self-Reporting Form to declare their current health status. There is no such time capping for the Self Reporting Form.

The mandatory self- reporting application will be forwarded to the Airport Health Organisation (APHO) under the Ministry Of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India. Passengers can then refer to their email inbox for the updated application document.

Using the Self Reporting application’s request number, passengers can auto-fill the application for exemption or vice versa.

Passengers can apply online to seek exemption from mandatory Institution Quarantine under five categories

Pregnant women
Suffered a death in the family
Suffering from serious illness (Description to be provided)
Parents accompanied by children below 10 years
Covid-19 negative certificate (attach RT PCR test only)

According to the selected category, passengers must also upload the supporting documents:

Pregnant woman - Attach doctor’s recommendation letter
Parents accompanied by children below 10 years - Attach passport copy
Suffering from serious illness - Attach medical certificate
Suffered a death in the family - Attach death/doctor certificate; Family as defined by the Indian Government consists of Spouse, Children, Sibling, Parents & Grandparents only
Attach RT-PCR negative report or a copy of RT-PCR tests where results are awaited

Please note, Exemption Request form to be filled and submitted online with supporting documents 72 hrs before boarding flight. Exemption Requests will be approved or rejected online by respective state authorities. All International Arriving Passengers with their onward domestic air travel must carry RT-PCR negative report.

State Authorities at the first port of entry will review exemption requests of all international arriving passengers.

For example – if you are travelling from New York to Gurgaon or Noida via Delhi, your application will be actioned by Delhi Government.

If the respective state government approves the application, the passenger shall undergo 14 days home quarantine in the address provided in the form.

If the respective state government rejects the application, the passenger shall undergo the institutional quarantine as per the govt. norms at the approved centre. Refer to the Important Quarantine Guidelines to know more about the institutional quarantine. Passengers can also submit group online requests through the same form for the entire family travelling in the same flight.

Traveling to India? Whether Air Suvidha is Mandatory or Not, It Depends on Your Travel Origin and Transit

In November 2022, Air Suvidha was removed for travelers flying into India from non-risk countries . 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.

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.

Air Suvidha portal, Delhi IGI Airport news, special flights to India,

Picture Credit: The Economics Times Travel

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 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.

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’t 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. However, you should carry the original vaccination card/certificate if you are fully-vaccinated.

The website of New Delhi IGI Airport integrates Air Suvidha in the top right corner . 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’re a primary traveler) contact number, passport number, PNR, flight/tail number, and other details. Kindly note that you can edit the form only once.

On successful submission of the self-declaration form, you will receive an email confirmation carrying a PDF attachment . 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 in emergency.

Many travelers wonder whether they should use the same Air Suvidha form hosted on Delhi IGI Airport 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.

Thanks for this. One other question. The air suvidha form asks for mobile telephone number and the sample form shows the Indian (91) prefix. But I have not been in India these last 2 years and hold no valid Indian number. Will the air suvidha form accept my Portuguese prefix (00351) number? Or should I fill in the number of my hotel in Mumbai?

Hi I have flight with flydubai on 27th April wanted to fill my self deceleration form but it ask my seat number which I only take when I’m in airport and they give me ticket m, I want to know how much it take time after sending u self declaration I will recive confirm message ? My other question is that I have transit flight to Delhi I start from tehran and then I take my second flight in dubai to Delhi.in self declaration ask the flight number and I only could put one flight number so which flight number I should use ? Pls reply me as soon as possible Bcaz my flight is tomorrow. Thank you

Hi Solmaz! Some of our customers have written “00”, “NA”, or “Not Assigned”, in place of seat number. You can also try that. You should enter the number of your international flight to Delhi.

My mother is travelling from Canada with a domestic connecting flight to India while filling the form which airline number should i select .The entry or the one connecting to India

Hi Pankush! You should provide the airline number of your flight from an international airport in the US.

Hey my flight is from Toronto to Montreal and Montreal to doha then doha to Delhi I am confused which flight number I had to put on the air suvidha form.

hi, we are traveling on January 11th to Amdavad Gujarat from Chicago USA do we need to have pcr covid test before boarding and Suvidha form to furnish?

Hi Raj! There is no Air Suvidha form now. It was removed a year ago. Also, you are not required to take any COVID-19 test before departure or after arrival these days.

Hi Viswanatha! You must have a compelling reason like medical emergency, an accompanying child below 10 years of age, an accompanying pregnant woman, death in the family in India to apply for exemption from the mandatory 7-day institutional quarantine. Or, you can be exempted from institutional quarantine upon submitting a negative RT-PCR test on arrival in India, and the test should be conducted within 96 hours of the scheduled onward travel to India and uploaded to the website of the primary destination airport. Giving a declaration with respect to the authenticity of the RT-PCR test report is compulsory. You will find the Air Suvidha option on the website of Delhi Airport.

My brother is travelling to India on 15th and planning to get the covid test done at the airport done on the same day. Can he show the -ve report at the arrival because he will getting the report on the same day without registering on air suvidha portal? How can he ask for exemption by registering on airsuvidha portal as it says you need to ask for exemption 72hrs prior to your journey?

Hi Krishan! A person traveling to India needs to undergo the COVID-19 test within 96 hours of the scheduled flight to India. He/she can submit the report on arrival in India. Before that, the traveler needs to fill out a self-health declaration form which can be found on the ‘Air Suvidha’ section of the New Delhi airport website. Filling out the form and submitting it online along with copies of passport and flight tickets must be done at least 72 hours before the scheduled flight to India. Hope your query is addressed satisfactorily.

I submitted the application for exemption from institutional quarantine but did not get any response from state government. I had uploaded copy of my negative PCR covid test result done within 96 hours of boarding. What can I do ?

Hope you uploaded the test result copy along with copies of your passport and flight tickets.

Hallo ,iam coming from oman to Kerala.But my home quarantine is in my another house not in the same district.So while filling the form what address is to be given for permanent location,house details? My quarantine house details or the house Iam living after my quarantine.

Hi Joel! We have a little idea about this. Please call the helpline number of Delhi airport.

hi, it says I have to submit SDF atleast 72 hours before my flight, but at the same time it asks for a PCR test within 72 hours, how is that possible? I am unable to submit the SDF without the PCR test result. Please help.

Hi Arnab! Once you receive the negative RT-PCR report, you can submit both SDF and the report within 72 hours prior to undertaking the journey to India.

Can u please share airsuvidha link where to upload info.

Hi Tina! Here is the link to Air Suvidha https://www.newdelhiairport.in/airsuvidha/allairports

Salutations and Tashi Delek. Based on this answer it seems as though once you get a Negative RT-PCR it comes with a SDF number that you can post to Air Suvidha and schedule your test for arrival.

Haai i need to know where to upload negative rtpcr result in air suvida

Hi Sibin! Air Suvidha is hosted on the website of Delhi IGI Airport. You are required to fill this form and upload the negative RT-PCR report here https://www.newdelhiairport.in/airsuvidha/apho-registration

Hi , i have symptoms of covid and i will be doing pcr test at airport and if it’s positive so still can i fly?

Hi Jack! May we know your itinerary – where you are traveling from and to?

Hi Indian Eagle,

We have heard that even after the PCR -ve test was submitted, people were still quarantined in Delhi and were restricted to travel further to final destinations. Please advise on the authenticity. Secondly, facilities here in NYC and Downtown Chicago may or may not provide the PCR test result within 96 hours. Please advise if you know any specific facilities can confirm to provide test results within 90 hours.

Hi, I’m traveling form United States to Delhi on August 14. I tried getting the RT-PCR COVID test but they don’t allow getting a test if you don’t have any symptoms and are not referred by a doctor and currently, it takes 6-10 days to get the results. Would I be able to get an exemption if I take the rapid test instead of RT-CPR? Also, I live in Jaipur but my flight is only until Delhi. Can I travel from Delhi to Jaipur by road upon arrival or am I able to get on a domestic flight to Jaipur if I don’t have a negative RT-PCR test?

Hi Sonal! If your international PNR does not include the domestic leg and if you don’t submit the RT-PCR COVID test, chances are high that you will be quarantined for 7 days at an institutional facility upon arrival in Delhi.

My daughter is travelling back to India today; she has ssubmitted all required forms on the air suvida portal with a negative test Report of RT-PCR But she keeps getting a rejection back email. What is the reason…

Is the Air Suvidha facility with all formalities completed available only if a person lands in New Delhi?

I am planning to fly to Mumbai as it is my hometown. Please inform if I can fly to Mumbai directly from Toronto.

Hello, my wife will travel from New York to Ahmedabad under AirIndia-VBM. We have received the ” approved status ” for the exemption from the Delhi Airport. Her final destination is Ahmedabad, so want to know the approved status mean to exemption only for Delhi or also it includes Ahmedabad-Gujarat.

Hi Rajesh! If the international leg and the domestic leg are in the same PNR, the approval for exemption from institutional quarantine will possibly apply to the entire itinerary. Exemption from 7-day institutional quarantine in Delhi or Ahmadabad means 14 days of home quarantine.

Rajesh, If I fly from Chicago to New Delhi and from there to kerala If both flights are VBM, do I need to apply for exemption and do I need a self declaration form.

Hi, i am facing deportaion from australia. There is no option for registering. What should i do to enter india

Hi, I am travelling to India – Mumbai next week with Air France airlines. I will be testing for non-Covid certificate on Monday and my flight is on Wednesday. I live in joint family and there has been a death in the family because of which I need the exemption. I have following questions: i) Do I need to fill both Self Reporting form and Exemption form? ii) My uncle passed away, but it does not have option on the exemption form, can I select Parent on the form as we live in the same house. iii) If I have the non-covid certificate with negative, will I be exempted from the quarantine irrespective of the exemption form? iv) Is there an official helpline number that I can call for such queries?

Hi, My mother needs to travel from Washington DC to Bhubaneswar. We have Vande Bharat flight till Delhi but none available till Bhubaneswar. So if we get an RT-PCR report, can she get exemption to board a normal domestic connection to Bhubaneswar

Hi Abhijeet! A negative RT-PCR report is supposed to get her through to the final destination without institutional quarantine in New Delhi.

I travelling to India on 15.8.2020 I am applying for exemption for for home quarantine but it not responding it shows error what should i do?

Do we still need to fill the Self reporting form if we have submitted the exemption form before 72 hours?

Hi Indian eagle my parents has been requested for quarantine exemption on air suvidha on Aug 12 and still the status of application shows Pending. I had already uploaded the medical certificate of my mother (suffering from illness) but due the Pending status my parents are hotel quarantine. Is there any way to expedite the air suvidha approval process. Thanks in advance.

Hi Rahul! There might be a glitch. Some other people have also complained about the issues they faced on the Air Suvidha portal. You can also email your parents’ latest medical reports along copies of their passports and tickets to [email protected] . Hope it helps.

what was your experience? did parents had to go for institutional quarantine. What comes under serious illness…i want to apply for my parents, pl reply

Hi my wife and child travelling to kochi.Is it required to fill both exemption form and self declaration form.they are planning to home quarantine.while filling self declaration form, error is showing

Hello, I plan to travel to Delhi on August 30 by United, arriving August 31 9,35 pm. I can either get a flight to Lucknow ( my ultimate destination) on Sep 1, or take a taxi to Lucknow on Sep 1 and go by road. Is road travel permissible? Will the exemption form work if I stay in a hotel overnight in Delhi? Alka

Hi Alka! The same certificate which will probably help you avoid being quarantined on arrival at Delhi Airport will help you get accommodated overnight in a hotel. You can go through a hotel-booking portal, select hotels and call them to know if they have any regulations. Road travel from Delhi is permissible. Maybe you need an e-pass to enter a different state by road.

I am flying from Chicago to New Delhi and from there to kochi (Kerala). Both flights are VBM and on a single ticket with only 3 hours layover. Do I need to register and submit the exemption form and self declaration form.

Hi Manesh! Filling out a self-declaration form is must. You can fill it out and upload online. Or you can fill out a hard copy during the flight. You may not need to apply for exemption from institutional quarantine in Delhi, as your entire itinerary is under VBM. Yes, you are required to fill out an exemption form if you are looking to avoid institutional quarantine in the final destination.

Hi I will be traveling to Bagdogra from New York via United Airlines. The first port of entry is New Delhi, and there is a connecting flight to Bagdogra operated by Vistara on the same day. My question is if institutional quarantine is indeed a requirement at Delhi before any onward domestic connections are permitted, why is the airlines selling such itineraries ? I am confused whether the institutional quarantine will be at New Delhi or at Bagdogra ? Also, in the USA RT-PCR tests are only being carried out on persons displays COVID19 symptoms. So I will probably not be able to furnish a negative RC-PCR test certificate, and seek exemption from institutional quarantine.

Hi Debayan! If you have a single PNR for the international leg and the domestic leg of the itinerary, then you will be allowed to board the domestic flight without institutional quarantine in Delhi.

I have 2 queries: I plan to travel USA-Delhi-Chennai in September on non-VBM flights.. Where will I do institutional quarantine, Chennai or Delhi? (2)Is there non-VBM flights to Chennai via Dubai or some such? Thanks.

Hi Muthiah! If you hold a single PNR for the itinerary from USA to Chennai, you will be put to institutional quarantine in Chennai, not in Delhi. Emirates is flying to India from USA via Dubai, but not serving Chennai currently. Please check USA to Chennai flights available on IndianEagle.com.

I hope to fly from St. Louis, USA to Bangalore, India on United/Lufthansa. The route is St. Louis – Chicago – Frankfurt – Bangalore. Would I need to complete the Air Suvidha form if I don’t touch Delhi?

Looking forward to hearing from you

Hi Savitha! You need to fill out a self-declaration form on Air Suvidha no matter what route and what airline you will be traveling on. You need to upload a negative COVID (RT-PCR) test report or a receipt of the test taken onto Air Suvidha only if you don’t want to be quarantined at a institutional facility on arrival in Benglauru.

I have a flight with United number 867 but it is given error when filling

“Flight number / tail number should be minimum 4 to maximum 6 alphanumeric value, space and special characters not allowed”

Hi Manish! You can try entering UA867 without giving any space.

It doesnt work with SPACE as well ..looks programming bug

I finally figured out and posting here for all..If we select connecting Domestic flight option as yes then we have to enter domestic flight of india as flight number. if you have connecting flight within other country then enter that option as NO

thanks a lot paresh. chossing that connecting flight in india off worked

thanks for this important info. I also faced same error. Now fixed.

How do you print a copy of the information uploaded to Air Suvidha?

Hi, I am travelling in Ethihad airways from Newyork to Aubudhabi on 2nd sept. From Aubhudhabi to Bangaluru on 3rd sept. I applied online for airsuvidha one day a head as I am unaware of these forms. How long does it take to approval our application. Since my father is in serious health issue and my mother is uneducated to talk with any doctor. I need to be there for taking care of my father and mother. Please let me know any contact numbers to talk with airport authority or the airsuvidha persons. Thank you

Hi Vijaya! We’re very sorry to know about your father. Hope he will recover soon. Karnataka government has scrapped 7-day institutional quarantine for people from abroad. Only those who will be found symptomatic during thermal screening and pulse oximeter reading on arrival at Bengaluru Airport will be sent to institutional quarantine. You need to fill out a self-declaration form on Air Suvidha. In case, you face any issue while filling out the form online, you can fill it up on board during the flight and submit it on arrival at the airport. And, you can also carry the latest medical reports of your father. make sure that you are found asymptomatic during thermal screening at Bengaluru Airport.

Hi, I have applied for a quarantine exemption for my mother-in-law through the Air Suvidha Portal, but have not received the approval yet. Portal still shows pending. Can we please know how long it takes for Approval?

Hello Sir My inlaws are travelling on Sep 8th and reaching bangalore on Sep 10th. They have filled in the AirSuvidha Form and i hope that is enough. If anything else is required kindly let me know. I hope there is no test required for them as Karnataka Govt is not demanding the same. They are travelling by Lufthansa

Thanks a lot.

Regards, Ram

Hi Ramprasad! Your parents don’t need to carry a negative RT-PCR test report while traveling to Bengaluru. On arrival, they will have to undergo thermal screening. If they are found symptomatic (fever, cold, cough, sore throat) in thermal screening, they will be shifted to a COVID Care Center for testing. Karnataka government has scrapped institutional quarantine only for asymptomatic international travelers.

Hello Sir…Thanks for the details… We have filled the AirSuvidha Form. Can you please let me know whether do we need to fill the repartition form mentioned in https://repat.videshapps.gov.in/user_registrationPg

Hi Ramprasad! As per the information available with us, Indian government’s most recent travel advisory has scrapped registration for those traveling to India from abroad. For more details, please check https://www.indianeagle.com/travelbeats/air-india-vbm-air-bubble-flights-2020/

Hi Kumar! Some people have faced the same issue. Be advised to upload the RT-PCR report over and again until you receive a response. FYI, most states of India have scrapped institutional quarantine for arriving international travelers. Only those who will be found symptomatic in thermal screening will be shifted to a medical facility for COVID testing.

Hi there, I am travelling from Canada to India I have an Indian passport but my question once I land in Delhi do I have to be quarantined in Delhi Cuz I live in Rajasthan or if I have an exemption form does that work.

Hi Sawai! You won’t be quarantined if you hold a single PNR for the entire itinerary from USA to Rajasthan. On arrival at Delhi airport, you will get a passage to board your pre-booked domestic flight after thermal screening. If you are found symptomatic (feverish temperature, cough, cold or sore throat) in thermal screening at Delhi airport or the final destination in Rajasthan, you will be shifted to a medical facility for COVID testing. FYI, Delhi airport has launched a dedicated COVID testing facility for international travelers flying in. You can get yourself tested and receive the report in 7 hours if your domestic flight is scheduled after 8 hours of your arrival at Delhi airport.

I am travelling to Hyderabad from new Jersey on Thursday, 10-09-2020. What is the earliest I have to apply for an exemption. I am scheduled for a covid test today. will get the results by wednesday(09-09-2020).

Hi Jishnu! Getting tested for COVID19 and carrying a negative report is not mandatory for exemption from institutional quarantine as Telangana government has scrapped institutional quarantine for asymptomatic travelers from abroad.

I have a layover in Delhi.

Is your entire itinerary from New Jersey to Hyderabad ticketed in a single PNR? If yes, you won’t be quarantined in Delhi. Upon arrival at Delhi airport, you will get a passage to board the pre-booked domestic flight to Hyderabad. Please note you will undergo thermal screening at Delhi airport.

I am reaching nee delhi on 14th september from New york JFK airport.

Hi Kasturi! As Mumbai is your destination/entry airport, be advised to check Mumbai’s new quarantine rule for people from abroad.

I am traveling from USA to Hyderabad via London, Heathrow on the same PNR. I will have completed my covid test and the necessary forms required by Air Suvidha prior to my upcoming travel. I heard rumors that Hyderabad airport officials are making mandatory quarantine without symptoms for all passengers for 7 days and not honoring the protocols set by Air Suvidha, which is a contactless solution by Ministry of Civil Aviation and Delhi Airport for all international passengers coming to India. Is this true? Please respond ASAP as my travel is less than a week away. Thanking you very much

Hi Robert! Those carrying a negative RT-PCR test report not older than 96 hours of their flight from the port of origin are eligible for exemption from institutional quarantine upon arrival at Hyderabad Airport.

My mom has been tested positive with COVID 19. I wish to travel to India from USA to take care of her . Can I apply exemption for this reason ?

Thanks, Anu

Hi Anu! We’re very sorry to learn about your mother. May she get well soon! We’re not sure whether this will be considered as an emergency situation for you. FYI, many Indian states have eased their quarantine norms. May we know your destination in India?

Hi I think I just submitted my question, but I don’t see it here?

Hi.. I will be travelling to kolkata from chicago in October. I am aware of the Negative RT-PCR report to avoid institutional quarantine?my 1st question is.. is the institutional quarantine is in Delhi or Kolkata? and since they asked to take the test within 92 hrs and submit the report within 72 hrs, which is quite difficult since results take a minimum of 3 days.. can i upload it in air subidha after 72 hrs ? In that case what do i do other than carrying the report with me in the flight? thank you

My mother is flying from ORD – NEW DELHI this weekend is RAPID ANTIGEN TEST accepted for COVID by AIR INDIA ?

Hi Namrata! We are not sure whether antigen test is acceptable or not. What is being considered valid for exemption from institutional quarantine is a RT-PCR test from the port of origin.

We are traveling from London to Bangalore on 4th October. We have filled the self declaration form. But just realized have entered the Date of birth incorrect. How can I correct it?

I am having same issue. It is not allowing to correct the birth date. How did you manage?

Their travel schedule is as follows: sydney to singapore and singapore to banglore by scoot no transit at singapore only for fuel filling.banglore to thiruvananthapuram by indigo.what are the procedures they have to do to reach safely at thiruvanathapuram? Should they register in air suvidha and apply for excemption?

Hi Krishna! There are three steps to be taken by your in-laws. First, they need to fill out a self-health declaration form in the Air Suvidha section of New Delhi IGI Airport website (you can fill it out on behalf of them and give them a printout). Second, they need to register their details on https://covid19jagratha.kerala.nic.in/ . Third, they need to obtain an e-pass from this Kerala portal. Upon arrival, they will be asked to show the e-pass to the health official at the Thiruvananthapuram airport. 14-day home quarantine is mandatory for everyone traveling to Kerala from abroad. Institutional quarantine is only for symptomatic travelers from abroad.

Hi. I am travelling from chicago to Kolkata on 9th October in Air India with layover in delhi. Do, I need a RT PCR negative test to avoid institutional quarantine in Delhi. My ticket is under the same PNR Thanks

I am travelling to Mumbai soon from Dublin and I will have my RT PCR done from dublin within mentioned time 96hours. This is an medical emergency travel as I have to do minor surgery. My question is do I have to still take RT pCR test upon my arrival in Mumbai? If it is negative will i be allowed to go for home quarantine? Your response will be appreciated.

Thanks a mill

Hi Rohit! In case of a medical emergency, you are eligible for exemption from institutional quarantine in India. Second, you carry a negative RT-PCR test report, institutional quarantine won’t enforced upon you.

My Dad will be undergoing a bypass surgery. I wanted to be there to support my parents during this time. I will be flying in from USA and I wanted to know if this is within one of the categories for exemption from quarantine.

Hi Rahul! We’re very sorry to learn about your father. May he get well soon! Yes, a medical emergency back home in India makes you eligible for exemption from institutional quarantine. Please note, you need to carry valid medical documents recently issued by an authorized physician. For any other assistance and for booking the most suitable itinerary, you can contact our travel advisors at 1-800-615-3969.

My father will be travelling from Houston, US to San Francisco, US and then staying in SF for 2 days. He will then travel to Delhi from San Francisco. He will be getting tested in Houston as the test result takes 3-5 days to come out and also needs to be uploaded atleast 72 hours prior to the flight. Is that okay?

Hi Chaitanya! It should work as per the reports.

Hi my husband wants to travel for a short trip of 4 days to Delhi from Dubai and bak. We are citizens of India and residents of Dubai. Can i get an exexmption from home quarantine if i have negative rt pcr . also i have got the gdfra approval for coming back to dubai since i am a resident of dubai.

Hi Ashok! You may need to carry and show confirmed tickets for your return travel in order to get exempted from home quarantine during a short visit to India.

Hello, I’m due to travel from Dublin, Ireland to Kochi, India via Dubai. I have filled the self declaration form in air suvidha. This form has to be shown upon arrival to India? Also do I need a COVID test certificate?

What other documents are mandatory?

The connecting flights have different flight numbers, which number should I use to fill the form? There is space for only one.

Many thanks, Sulthana

Hello! Since you have two PNRs for your itinerary, you may need to fill out the self-declaration form twice: one for the Dublin to Dubai flight, and the other for the Dubai to Kochi flight. Yes, the filled-out forms have to be shown upon arrival in India. Kerala has scrapped mandatory institutional quarantine for asymptomatic travelers from abroad. Hence, it is compulsory to have a negative COVID-19 test certificate. You need to register your details on Kerala’s COVID-19 Jagratha portal and obtain an e-pass from https://covid19jagratha.kerala.nic.in/home/addMedicalEmergencyPass . Please note, without the e-pass, you will not be allowed to exit the port of entry in Kerala. Hope this information addresses your query.

I am traveling in November 2020 from SanFrancisco -> New York -> Delhi -> Chennai, in three different flights with same PNR. I have submitted the self declaration form with origin city as SFO and flight number with New York to Delhi. Do I need to fill a different self declaration form?

Hi Uma! Basically, you need to fill out only one form – the self-reporting form on Air Suvidha. You are supposed to receive two forms from the airline: one for entry to India and the other for entry to your home state. If you are applying for exemption from institutional quarantine, you need to fill out an exemption form with your declaration ascertaining the authenticity of the Rt-PCR test/any other reason for exemption.

Hi Thank you for your swift response. I booked through United airlines and did not receive any forms to fill. I did my own research and saw one self declaring form and exemption. I filled in the flight details and Chennai address in it in the air suvidha portal. I have set up an appointment for rt pcr test (I need to take the test 96 hours before arrival in Delhi right?) and once i have the results (if at all before boarding) i will apply the exemption form. I have installed the arokya settu app. I do not have an Indian number so I filled in my US number for suvidha portal forms and my dad number in India for arokya setu app.

Have I missed anything at all? The guidelines are not really provided very clearly in any government site. and I appreciate all your efforts and time you are taking in answering these questions.

What do you meant by country of origin in air suvidha form, Because it doesnt show country in in it..where iam supposed to travel to india fron uae…please revert

Hi Masood! The country of origin here means the country where you reside or where the first leg of your itinerary will begin. If you are looking to get exempted from institutional quarantine at the port of entry or your final destination in India, you need to take a RT-PCR test in your country of origin.

Hi indian eagle,

I am flying from Kazakhstan to Dubai then to India. Where can I mention that the 1st aiport I enter is DXB airport and not Delhi Airport? Also what will be my country of origin?

Hi Gokula! Your country of origin will be Kazakhstan. In your itinerary, DXB is the connecting airport and Delhi is the port of entry/destination airport

Hi Indian Eagle I am flying to Delhi India from Atlanta , Georgia, USA . I submitted the document which says that results of RT PCR are pending before 72 hours of the flight. I got the RT PCR report after 24 hours but within 96 hours before the flight. Should I wait for the response on the Air Suvidha portal or should I upload the RT PCR report before getting the response.

Hi I submitted the RT PCR Results Awaiting document on Air Suvidha portal before 72 hours of boarding the flight.I got the results of RT PCR after 24 hours have passed . Should I wait for a response on Air Suvidha Portal or submit another application with RT PCR report.

Hi Varun! Instead of waiting for a response, you can upload the test report.

Hi indianeagle, I am travelling to India (final destination Chennai and stopover at Delhi) and I have a couple of questions – 1) Should my first port-of-entry on the application be DELHI or CHENNAI? 2) Where do I upload my RT-PCR test result? I do not see any link?

Hi Arjun! Your port of entry is Delhi and the destination is Chennai. You need to upload the test result to the Air Suvidha section of Delhi IGI Airport. Or you can download the Air Suvidha app and upload the test result using the app.

Hi Indianeagle, I am travelling to India from USA and my final destination is Hyderabad and have a layover in Delhi. 1) I did take my RT-PCR test and uploaded the result on the portal for exemption form. My application was rejected and the reason for rejection was “Please Upload the RT-PCR test report with authorized stamp and signature”

what does this mean and what should I do to avoid any quarantine period in Delhi, Please advice

Hi Vijay! We are not sure what the message means. Please contact and check with the place where you took the test. FYI, you won’t be quarantined in Delhi, the port of entry, because Hyderabad is your final destination. If you are found symptomatic in thermal screening upon arrival at Delhi airport, you will be taken for testing. May we know how long the layover at Delhi is, and whether your entire itinerary is ticketed in a single PNR?

Hey!! I am traveling from USA to India and in the self reporting form I have to provide country of origin. Can you please let me know whether I’ve to write The country of departure or the country of arrival.

Hi Diksha! In the self-reporting form, the country of origin means the country of flight departure.

Hi, I am planning to travel to Mumbai from Los Angeles on Nov 7th and from Mumbai to Hyderabad on 15th nov . I am planning to return to Los angeles by Nov 23rd. Travelling to Mumbai as my dad has passed away and need to travel to hyderabad as my mother in law is not doing well. I am planning to get a covid test done in los angeles and apply for exemption. I have following questions: 1. My US phone will not work in India . How would this Arogya app work for me? 2. How can i do a home quarantine for 14 days in mumbai as i need to leave to hyderabad in a week’s time.

Hi Nandini! We’re sorry to learn about your loss. May your mother-in-law get well soon! You need an Indian phone number to install the Arogya Setu app. In general, Mumbai has 14-day home quarantine policy for all international arrivals. To get it cut short to 7 days, you can travel with valid medical documents of your mother-in-law in Hyderabad and confirmed tickets of your travel to Hyderabad to Mumbai, and show those upon arrival at Mumbai airport. Hope it will work for you.

Hi , My inlaws are traveling to India starting from New Jersey USA on Nov 5th . I filled the exemption form and self declaration form with covid result doc attached on Nov 4th early morning. I am able to access the self declaration form and print it out. But exemption form shows pending status. How long does it take for them to update the status. how can I take copy of print out for exemption form?

Hi Navdeep! Don’t worry! They can carry a hard/soft copy of their negative RT-PCR test result and a printout of the exemption form, and show those upon arrival at the port of entry in India.

I am trying to fill the Air Suvidha form. But it keeps giving me an error. Is there anyone here who has received an error?

Hi Aditi! Please make sure to fill the form during the working hours in India. May we know whether there is any message on the error screen?

Hi Aditi! Please give it a try during the working hours in India.

Hi, my wife is travelling from Chicago to Delhi over next few hours. We tried submitting -ve RT-PCR report 3 times as following –

1. Upload pending results with RT-PCR test appointment – This was rejected right away mentioning -ve RT-PCR report is missing ( although portal says its fine to upload pending ).

2. Once I got the report, then uploaded report again. – Again rejected mentioning report must be within 96 hours of departure. The report is within 96 hours clearly.

3. Uploaded again mentioning & pointing out report is within 96 hours – again rejected with reason “please upload RT-PCR test report certificate with authorized stamp and signature“ now on same report.

I am running short on option & flight is coming up – any pointers that can be helpful here pls? Thank you for your help.

Hi Deepak! Some of our customers have faced the same issue. Don’t worry! You can travel with the hard/soft copy of the report and show it upon arrival at Delhi airport.

Hi, we are traveling from SFO to Delhi by Air India (Departure on 7th Nov and Arrival on 8th Nov) and then taking local transportation to go to Rajasthan.

We applied for exemption request with our RTPCR test -ve report merged in one pdf for all my family members. The reports are from well known pharmacy but the report do not contain any stamp or signature as no reports here have the same. Based on other users experience it seems the request could be rejected, may we know who we should get signature from (if its mandatory)?

Hi Amit! According to Air Suvidha, a valid stamp and signature on the RT-PCR test report is mandatory.

Thank you for your prompt response, may I know whose stamp and signature is required?

Hi Amit, could you share your experience regarding this Valid Stamp and signature on the RT PCR report. is it mandatory? i have received a negative report, it does not have either stamp or signature. does Air Suvida reject this?

thanks for your time Sathish

How about 2023 requirements? Still need a signature? Also, is it neccessary to include to certificate the time when the test was taken, passport number etc?

Can i show that and submit the for again or is there any other things i need to do. Please help

Hi Sasi! You can upload the report any time before your journey begins and carry a hard copy of the same to show at Delhi airport. The soft copy of the report in your email may work.

I am planning to travel from Washington->Delhi->Kochi on Nov 25th and based on the new rule it says RT-PCR test should be taken within 72hrs of boarding the flight for quarantine exemption but when I checked the exemption form site, it says the form with the proof of test should be submitted BEFORE 72hrs of boarding the flight. How can this be possible ? could you please guide what to do in this situation ?

Also, just to clarify, in this case the port of entry will be Delhi, correct ?

I am planning to travel from Washington->Delhi (transit)->Kochi via AirIndia on Nov 25th. As per the new rules, the RT-PCR should be taken within 72hrs of boarding the flight but the exemption form site says, the form with proof of RT-PCR should be submitted BEFORE 72hrs of boarding? This looks bit confusing. how is this possible? Could you please guide on what to do here ?

Also, in this case the first port of entry would be Delhi, correct ?

Thanks, GInu

Hi Ginu! You can fill out the exemption form and upload the test report within 72 hours of your undertaking the journey to India.

Thanks for this clarification. I also had the same question. So, if I take the test within 72 hours and I get my result back, one day before my departure, then I can submit application for exemption on that day (i.e. one day before departure), correct? (Please also note that I am not sure the testing lab will give me any document that the test was taken, so I will need to wait till I get my results)

Hi Ronald! Yes, you can.

Is it possible for my application for exemption from institutional quarantine be rejected, even if I took it before 96 hours before departing?

Hi Hema! You need to take a test within 72 hours of your journey to India, as per the Government of India’s new guidelines issued on November 5, 2020.

I applied for exemption by uploading RT-PCR negative test result. I am travelling with my 7 yr old kid from UAE to India. Exemption request is in Pending state since past 2 days. What should I do? I am travelling from Abu Dhabi to Mumbai

Hi, I am traveling from New York to Del. I have done my covid test and it came negative. When I uploaded on Air suvidha they rejected after 24 hours with this message ” please upload authorized stamp and signature”.

Can you please let me know what stamp and signature required?

Hi Prateek! The test report must have a stamp and signature from the lab where you took the test.

First of all thanks for all the answers which you have provided to the audiences here.

I am flying from Chicago to New delhi via Air india on Nov 29th at 12:30 pm cst. My final dest is also New Delhi. Today was thanks giving holiday and hence the clinic where I am planning to take the RT-PCR test was closed. so I will be taking my RT-PCR test on Nov 27th morning and uploading the -ve test result (hoping it is -ve) along with exemption form. Although as per my plan, I do have good 55 hours before my flight takes off from Chicago but in case the approval doesn’t come by then what should I do? Should I book an appointment for RT-PCR at New Delhi airport or travel with my ERO number and provide that to airport authorities so that they can check online? Please advise. thanks

Hi Mohit! If you receive the report before you land at Delhi, you can show the soft copy to the health officials at IGI airport. In case, it is too late, you can book a test on spot after arrival.

Hi , “Upload your Passport Copy. Upload file type JPEG & PDF. The maximum upload size is 1MB.” (Air Suvidha Self Reporting Form) – Should we upload all pages of passport OR only 1st (Photo_ID) & last page (Address) ?? – Please advice.. Thanks

Question- Will I and my wife both get exception approval or is it just for 1 parent ? Also, how early can i fill the exemption form if my travel date is Dec 18th ?

Hi Venkata! You need to apply for exemption on Air Suvidha within 72 hours of undertaking the journey from Chicago to India. Yes you are eligible for exemption from institutional quarantine at both Delhi and Hyderabad for traveling with a minor. But you (others as well) may need a negative Rt-PCR test certificate to be allowed on domestic flight from Delhi airport.

Hi, I will be travelling to bengaluru from Phoenix soon but i have a separate domestic flight to SFO but will not be exiting the airport before boarding the international flight. Which PNR number should I fill for the exemptions ?

Hi Prathyush! To the best of our knowledge, you need to provide the PNR of the international itinerary.

Are there any current restrictions on travel to India for OCI travelers?

I should have clarified. I am an OCI. I have a -ve PCR. I filled out all forms but was turned back at the airport today where they said that OCI have to travel direct to India and not transit through certain other countries. Is this true? If so, when did this go into effect and which countries are on the do-not-travel-through list?

Hi Radhika! OCI cardholders’ travel to India is not restricted. If you are an OCI cardholder in the USA, your transit through other countries is restricted. It took effect in the last week of September. Air India and United Airlines are the only options for you.

I am traveling on 3rd december and i have applied for exemption showing my appointment letter but they rejected saying please upload RT-PCR with stamp and signature.

As my clinic is saying they will give me the receipt once i have done the test can i upload that? If i can, do i have to redo self reporting form again?

Hi Montu! You need to apply for exemption along with either the test receipt or the test report.

I am travelling with my wife and a 3 year old and planning to apply for exemption with “Parents accompanied by children below 10 years”. Do I have to fill 3 forms, one for each attaching passport copies of all three in separate forms?

Thanks, Jagan

Hi Jagan! You need to fill out only one form if all of you are have the same PNR.

My in-laws are travelling to Delhi (non-stop flight) from Canada.

1) We’ve the Covid-19 test requisition but not the results yet, 2) The copy of passport requirement on the Air Suvidha form, do we just scan and upload the biographical pages or all the pages?

Please advise on any other forms that we need to fill before they board the plane.

My city of origin from the US is St. Louis, connecting through chicago to Delhi. The air suvidha form asks for flight number/tail number. Should the flight number be the first flight which is the domestic flight or the international flight. All with same PNR. What is the Tail number?

Hi Sanjay! You need to provide the flight number of your first flight, that is from St Louis.

As per Air Suvidha website, I need to submit exemption form 72 hours before my flight, which is Saturday 3.20 PM.

I am confused as my Covid test is on Sunday and I don’t have any supporting document to upload on exemption form.

Please help. Thank you!

Hi Rohit! You can submit the exemption form within 72 hours of your departure flight once you have a test receipt. The exemption form without any supporting document won’t be accepted.

I am planning to travel to India from USA on the 19th. I was tested positive for COVID on 5th. I have recovered completely and my doctor has cleared me for traveling on 19th. Because I had COVID before, there is a chance that the test will come out as positive because of the dead virus in my body. I am totally fine and I cannot spread the virus to anyone as I have completed the isolation and recovered. In this case, is there some additional documentation that I can give so that I will be allowed to travel to Bangalore on landing in Delhi? Like a note from the doctor? Please advise! Thank you so much for your time!

Hi Shrujay! We have little knowledge about your scenario. Please be advised to check wit the airline you will travel on and contact the helpline number of Delhi Airport for a definite answer to your query.

@Shrujay, Were you able to find a solution. I am in the same boat and am trying to find an answer.

Hi Liz – I am in the US for a short trip with my family. My unvaccinated 7 year old kid got positive when we got her tested. She is asymptomatic but we are told that the PCR test will turn out to be positive in the next 90 days. I have to travel back to India. Can you please advice how to handle this situation? Any help from anyone is much appreciated.

Hi, If I reached Delhi from Bangalore at 2.30 AM , can I stay in Airport till early morning 5.00 AM , being a girl and alone it is difficult to travel the destination alone so early, and this is my first visit and I don’t know anybody there,Please suggest?

Hi Meghana! You can accommodate yourself in some lounge at Delhi airport for the night.

Hi good Day am a seafarer signing off from Japan and travelling back to India. is there any mandatory quarantine rule if i am connected via middle east to land in india ???

Hi Abhishek! Quarantine rules vary from state to state in India. May we know your fist port of entry and final destination in India?

Hi i have submitted my self declaration form but did not upload the passport copy as all the files were too large. Is it mandatory to upload it?

My kid just turned 10 year old in Dec 2020, will the exception for kids under 10 years applicable? Please advise,

Hi Antony! Neither you nor your child may be eligible for exemption. However, please be advised to call the helpline of Delhi IGI Airport and check with them.

hi urgency myself syed mazharuddin an indian citizen i am travelling to india from dubai tomorrow to india 29/12/2020 morning while filling up self declaration form in field country of origin i cant find india in that dropdown list i checked many a times as a i am unable to submit self declaration form.kindly reply ASAP.

Hi Syed! In the self-declaration form, the country of origin means the country of your flight departure/journey to India.

i am travelling with my child from washington DC to Bangalore. for exemption what is the supporting document to upload ? Portal just says passport copy .. but my question is whose passport copy ? mine ? or my child ?

Hi Mahesh! If you are planning to seek exemption on grounds of traveling with a kid below 10 years, you need to upload a copy of your kid’s passport as a supporting document.

1) How many days before departure self declaration can be submitted ? 2) If I apply Exemption with RT-PCR , and test result does not come within 72 hours, then i will not have any result to upload. not sure if test center will provide receipt while doing drive thru test. In that case, how to get exemption ? 3) Do i need to carry any hard copy of test result, delf declaration form , passport etc ? 4) Will VBM flight air india allow to board flight at departure airport in US without RT-PCR document ? 5 ) If i am unable to do RT-PCR in US, then can i do it in Delhi airport ? Are they 24X7 as my landing time in delhi would be around 11:30 PM 6) Can I travel without filling exemption form and go for PCR test in delhi airport ? How long does it take for test result ?

Hi Mamp! You can travel on Air India and arrive at Delhi Airport without a pre-departure RT-PCR negative result. Yes, you can take a test and fill out a self-declaration form after arrival at Delhi Airport. If you receive the RT-PCR test result in your email by the time you land at Delhi airport, you can show it to the health officials at Delhi Airport. In case you choose to get tested after arrival, you can travel without filling the exemption form.

is excess baggage allowed in VBM flights with extra fees payment ?

I am travelling from USA to Mumbai on 22nd January,2021. As per the rules I plan to get my RT-PCR testing 72 hours prior to my boarding date. My question is regarding the self reporting and exemption request forms. Both the forms require a application request numbers. How can I WRITE THAT NUMBER WHEN i have not filled the second form and vice versa. I will appreciate to get this query solved.

Hi Jayant! This is the first time we came across such a query/issue. It is not within our knowledge. Please be advised to call the helpline of Delhi International Airport.

You can fill in Exemption Form without the ERO Number. After submission of this Form you will get an E mail with SRO Number, which you can fill in the Self Reporting Form, which you can fill in and submit. After submitting this you will get exemption E mail from Institutional Quarentine. This is what I gathered from many Videos on Youtube. Govt should have clarified this aspect. Logically self reporting form comes first and then seek an exemption. I am also traveling from SFO to BOM on 29th Jan 2021.

Hi Jayanti,

I plan on traveling to Mumbai from USA, direct flight on Feb 12th, would you kindly share your experience whether you were actually exempted from institutional quarantine?

Hi Neha! Mumbai has mandatory institutional quarantine for travelers from Europe, South Africa and the Middle East. If travelers from the US are asymptomatic and have a negative RT-PCR test result, they are exempted from institutional quarantine.

Hi, Planning to back India from US (Seattle) via Lufthansa (Seattle – Frankfurt – Mumbai) on Tuesday January 12, 2021. B1/B2 Visa (Visa expired and extension applied) Plz review & help on my plan for travel documentation : 0) Saturday, January 09, 2021 : To go for RT-PCR test @ Walgreens OR Overlake Clinics – Urgent Care I) Saturday, January 09, 2021: after COVID-19 test is taken, To fill in & submit forms: i) Registration for Repatriation ii) Registration Form for Indian Nationals along with Undertaking cum Indemnity Bond iii) Self Reporting form & d) Exemption request form. Also, I am having old (US Visa) & new passport : Should i upload pdf of both the passport? Should I skip Blank passport pages ? Only 1st & Last Page of current passport? Also, My eldest brother passed away on Dec 14, 2020. Should i select Exemption Category of “Suffered a death in family” OR “RT PCR test certification? If i attach the death certificate, can i skip RT PCR test ? Am i missing anything?? Please advice..

Hi Ramesh! We’re very sorry about your loss and the mishap in the family. We recommend you apply for exemption in the special category. If approved, no RT-PCR test is required if there is no further domestic air travel from Mumbai. In case a negative RT-PCR test is mandatory, you can take an Express COVID test after arrival at Mumbai Airport.

My flight is Seattle->Frankfurt->Mumbai. All with same PNR. What should be the Fiight/Tail number of? Seattle->Frankfurt OR Frankfurt->Mumbai??

Hi, I have applied for an exemption under child below 10 years category. It’s been almost 3 days and I haven’t received the confirmation email yet. What is the turn around time? I’m traveling from US to Hyderabad on 10th Jan 2020. Please suggest. Thanks

Hi Vijay! You are supposed to apply for exemption on Air Suvidha not more than 72 hours before your flight for India.

HI, Two queries:-:( My ticket is (Seattle -> Frankfurt -> Mumbai (with one PNR number)) using connecting flights. In exemption Form & Self Reporting Form: 1) What Flight/Tail Number should i write? (Seattle to Frankfurt OR Frankfurt -> Mumbai ? 2) Seat Number : what if i do NOT get seat number in advance.

Hello Ramesh, I am in same situation now, what seat number did you give if you didn’t have seat number in advance ?

NA Write NA

i am trying to upload my RT-PCT test to the suvidha exemption portal. My first airport of entry is Bengaluru. And even though Bengaluru is listed in the drop-down, I can’t seem to select it. Most cities listed there are selectable, but not Bengaluru. Is it possibly because Bengaluru Airport does not require a rt-pcr negative test?

Hello! No idea what the problem is on Air Suvidha. Currently, all international arrivals traveling to Bangalore need a negative RT-PCR certificate. No worries. if you are not able to apply on Air Suvidha, you can carry the hard copy of the report and show it on arrival at the airport.

Hi.. I have filled the exemption form but was rejected as there was no sign or stamp from the authority. Its a govt. test report and they will not provide any signature or stamp. How can I provide declaration for authenticity of the report?

Hi Chandreyee! It won’t be approved online without a valid stamp or signature. Many people have faced the same problem. You can carry the report and show it on arrival at Delhi Airport. You may be asked to submit a declaration with regard to the authenticity of the report.

Hi Indian eagle,

I have received -ve RT PCR Test report but it does not have either Stamp or Signature. Is it mandatory ? I am going from SFO to HYDERABAD ( NO DOMESTIC CONNECTIONS).

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME SUNNY

Hi Sunny! Yes, it is mandatory. Please be advised to check with the airline.

My Husband will do the RT-PCR Test at the day of departure in Germany (17.01.21). So on this day if he gets the result he will upload on exemption form on air Shuvida. But ho long exactly does ist take to get any response /the email of my exemption application? I need to know this because we need to plan to get the Approval before my husband is leaving Germany. Because at new delhi airport he has no internet /wlan connection to get the Email and the free Wifi at the airport in Delhi can only be used by having a international mobile number, and he has not.

Thanks so much for your help.

Hi Pauline! Sometimes, it takes time to get approval on Air Suvidha. In case you don’t receive a response to the exemption application on time, you can carry the negative RT-PCR test report and show it after arrival at Delhi International Airport.

G3 Hello, My mom is returning back to India form Washington DC on Feb 3rd and will stay with my uncle for 7-10 days before heading to her final destination Chennai. She is travelling Qatar Airways through Doha to Mumbai. If she doe snot have a negative PCR test when she lands, can she just take the test at Mumbai airport. How long is the typical wait to get the results. She is 67 years old. Can she apply for an exemption form institutional quarantine? If we take a PCR test in US and she does not get her results by the time she leaves, can we upload her results before her arrival at the airport and send her the emails of approval to show on her phone? Does she have to have the physical copy? Appreciate all your help.

Hi Gayu! If she does not have a serious medical problem, she won’t get exemption from institutional quarantine without a negative RT-PCR report. If the test report is valid (it has a stamp/signature from the testing lab), she can show the hard/soft copy to the health officials at Mumbai Airport. Make sure to upload the report to Air Suvidha and send to your mother’s email inbox the moment the result is available.

I would be travelling from Amsterdam to Bangalore with a flight change at Dubai n both the flight bookings are under the same PNR. In the Air Suvidha form, do I need to put Amsterdam or Dubai as city of origin? What about the flight number, will it be one for Amsterdam to Dubai or Dubai to Bangalore? Thanks!

Hi Anuj! Amsterdam is your city of origin; hence the flight number to be mentioned is that of the flight from Amsterdam to Dubai.

Hi I am traveling from Dubai to Delhi and bagdogra which form I hv to filled and what are the criteria’s for my travelling

Hi Arpan! You need to fill out a self-reporting form and apply for exemption based on an RT-PCR test on Air Suvidha (a section of Delhi IGI Airport website) within 72 hours prior to your journey from Dubai. You need to take an RT-PCR test not before 72 hours of undertaking the journey and upload the report on to Air Suvidha before you board the departure flight in Dubai.

I filled the exemption form and the self declaration form. I got an email with the attachment for self declaration form but never received the exemption form. How do I print out the exemption form (I uploaded the covid negative test result)?

Hi Nirmala! You don’t need to print out the exemption form.

Hello, I am traveling from Charlotte, USA to Vijayawada, IND in a couple of weeks. itinerary includes 3 flights including Charlotte to Newark, Newark to Delhi, Delhi to Vijayawada. 1) while trying to submit the self reporting form, which flight’s details do I need to present? CLT to EWR? or EWR to DEL? Question is specifically for these following fields – flight number, seat, city of origin 2) the last of the three acknowledgement remarks while submitting the form, “I would undergo mandatory quarantine for 14 days i.e. 7 days paid institutional quarantine at my own cost, followed by 7 days isolation at home with self-monitoring of health.”, would it be okay to not acknowledge this?

Hi Srinivas! You need to enter the flight number, seat number and the city of origin with regard to your international leg of the itinerary. No problem, even though you acknowledge, “I would undergo mandatory……” If you travel with a negative RT-PCR report, you will be exempted from institutional quarantine.

Hello , I submitted Exemption form for my parents ( USA to India) with negative RT PCR report but there was no supporting document field in co-passenger section ( Tried multiple times but it does not show any field to attach co-passenger’s RT PCR report). So I ended up consolidating my dad and mom’s RT PCR report into 1 PDF and uploaded it under supporting document section of Primary Passenger section. They still rejected saying that report is not attached for co-passenger. Any ideas or tips please. This is urgent as they are scheduled to travel this evening. Thank you very much !

Hi Sapna! You can upload the two documents one by one. Not to worry if you are running out of time. If the results are valid and feature a stamp/signature from the testing lab, they can carry the hard copies and show upon arrival at the port of entry in India.

I am also facing same issue and also it does not allow you to upload 2 documents. Please advice if anyone faced

Hi Shivam! Our reply to the similar query above does apply to you as well. If your negative RT-PCR test report has a valid signature/stamp from the testing lab, you can carry the hard copy/a printout/soft copy and show it upon arrival.

Hello, I am planning to travel from Los Angeles to Kolkata via Delhi in February. I have a 4 year old kid who would be travelling along with me and my wife. Please suggest whether we all three require a RT PCR Covid test done in USA or if I fill up the exemption form in Air Suvidha that will help in Delhi Airport. Thanks in advance.

Hi Indrajit! In our knowledge, Kolkata requires incoming international traveler including kids above 3 years to have a negative RT-PCR test result. Besides, you and your wife need a negative RT-PCR result to travel on the domestic connection from Delhi.

Hi I am planning to travel with my wife and kid below 3 year old, from Sydney to Lucknow via Delhi(VBM flight) on single PNR for all the passengers whole itinerary. Please help with :

If I seek exception from institutional quarantine under “travelling with child below 10 years” and receive an approval.

1) Do I still need a -ve RT-PCR for all three of us to be allowed to board the Delhi to Lucknow flight ? 2) Needed any additional process(registration etc) to follow as per U.P Govt other than 14 day home quarentine and following official guidelines to report in case of any developed symptoms.

Hi Anish! The 3-year-old may not need a negative COVID test. However, you and your wife may not be allowed to travel to Lucknow from Delhi by air without a negative RT-PCR test result despite approval of the exemption request. You need to register on https://reg.upcovid.in/ .

I am trying to fill the self declaration form but it keeps giving me the error message that file size is invalid. File size of my passport image that I am trying to upload is less than 1 MB (which is shown as limit), but still it keeps giving me the same error message even though I tried from different internet browsers

Can you please check and help, Thanks Gaurav Mishra

Hi Gaurav! We can do very little about this. Air Suvidha is maintained by the officials of Delhi International Airport. Please call the helpline of Delhi Airport.

Facing the same issue. How did you upload the RT-PCR test report?

I’m facing the same! Could anyone solve this?

Did y’all figure out how to solve this issue? I keep getting the invalid size error and haven’t been able to resolve it either

Hi, I found the solution. I was getting the file size error too. I was trying from my phone and that was the issue. I did it from computer and it went smooth with out any issue. Hope that helps. Best, Akhil

It was 2am the night before our flight back from Maldives to India when I was getting the “invalid file size” error uploading the PCR PDF file and I ran a desperate Google search and came across this incredibly helpful thread.

The site has some problem accepting the upload from iPhone. Based on Mr. Malik’s resourcefulness below I filled out the entire form for 3 passengers again (painstakingly on a mobile phone) using Android Chrome’s “Desktop Site” mode and successfully registered.

Then I had the hotel desk print FOUR COPIES as instructed on the site, and boy am I glad I did — at Hyderabad Airport they werent accepting arrivals without hard copy, even though the confirmation message shows “soft copy” is acceptable.

Thank you to IndianEagle forum and Mr. Malik for helping get us home! Without these suggestions we would have been in queue for over 4 hours with a 3 year old, fighting with the APHO authorities to allow us to enter and come home.

Did you figure out a solution?

Hi, I am traveling from Stockholm to Mumbai via Amsterdam (All under the same PNR) For the Flight number / Tail number- Am I supposed to put in the Flight No. for the Stockholm to Amsterdam flight or the Amsterdam to Mumbai flight? Thanks

HI Pooja! You should put in the Amsterdam to Mumbai flight number.

Seat number is mandatory field while applying. But seat number is not available. I am flying in air india express and their web check in is down.

What did you end up doing ?

I am travelling from Dulles Airport, Washington D.C. to Kozhikode, Kerala via Doha by Qatar airways (all under the same PNR). What should be the flight number I provide in Air Suvidha self declaration and Air Suvidha Exemption Request Form. Should it be the flight number for travel from Dulles Airport to Doha? Or, should it be the flight number for travel from Doha to Kozhikkode, Kerala?

Hi Jaya! You need to provide the flight number of the flight that will land in India.

If we get a covid negative RT-PCR test from USA before boarding the flight – then we know we will not need to do 7 day institutional quarantine at delhi airport. But in that case – will we need to just do 7 day home quarantine, or still we need to do 14 day quarantine? Also can you attend a function during the 8 -14 day quarantine period? Also we only plan to travel for 14 days.

Hi Jay! 7-day home quarantine is mandatory in Delhi. On completion of the home quarantine period, you can go anywhere and attend an event.

Sorry I should have mentioned – My flight would be NEW YORK – DELHI – AMRITSAR and then by road to Jalandhar. I plan to travel with a RT-PCR test from USA. So with negative covid test i will be able to board flight to Amritsar without instituational quarantine. But what are the rules for amritsar airport and in general quarantine for for punjab in that case ? Thanks for your reply.

HI Jay! If you are asymptomatic and have a negative RT-PCR test result, you will be allowed to continue your travel to Amritsar. It is 7 to 14-day home quarantine for international arrivals in Punjab. No institutional quarantine for international arrivals having a negative RT-PCR test result.

How to apply for Exemption from Institutional Quarantine while arriving at Mumbai airport, India from Doha, Qatar during emergency ?

Hi Faisal! Air Suvidha (a section of Delhi Airport website) is the only place where you need to apply for exemption. FYI, Mumbai has mandatory institutional quarantine and COVID testing for travelers from the Middle East, Europe and South Africa.

Hi, I am traveling from USA to Mumbai with my wife and 3 years 3 month old son. Do we all need to take RT-PCR test?

Hi Shourya! Are you traveling to Mumbai via any other airport in India? Are you traveling to Mumbai directly from the USA? Is Mumbai your first port of entry and the final destination? We can give you exact information based on your itinerary.

Hi: My parents will be travelling on a direct flight from Newark, NJ to Mumbai on Friday. Mumbai is not their final destination. After few hours of hold in Mumbai, they will board their flight to Vadodara. I have two questions:

They recently did their RT-PCR test within 72 hours before journey begins. We have not yet received the results yet but we should before they leave on Friday. If they are negative (which we expect them to be), would providing a hard copy of the results be acceptable to make sure they are not put in institutionalized quarantine? Would having the results electronically be acceptable?

Second question is, we forgot to put PNR number in the self-declaration form. Is there a way to edit the form? I don’t believe it was a required field in the application. Would not having the PNR number in the self-declaration form be an issue?

Thank you for your help!

Hi Kushal! Both hard copy and soft copy are acceptable. We are not sure if the self-declaration form is editable. It should not be an issue.

Hi , i applied for exemption and it has been rejected. Reason given : reports not showing clearly . What am I supposed to do now ? Should i re-apply? Please help

Hi Smita! You should reapply. If it is rejected for the second time, don’t worry. You can the hard copy or soft copy and show it upon arrival. Make sure the negative RT-PCR report has a valid signature/stamp from the testing lab.

I am leaving san Francisco on Mar 4 (Thursday); arriving into Dubai on Mar 5. Then leaving for Delhi on Mar 7 (Sunday). I’d think that since I’ll need a PCR test to enter Dubai, I’ll need to take the test on Mar 2.

Will the Mar 2 PCR test work to get exemption at Delhi airport? Or should I get a PCR test at Dubai (I’m there for 1 day and 2 nights).

Please advise.

HI Amit! Taking another test before leaving for Delhi may not be necessary, because those transiting via the Middle East have to take a COVID test upon arrival in India according to the new guidelines which will take effect on midnight of February 22.

Dear Sir, My flight is from AMSTERDAM-PARIS-MUMBAI on 25th Feb. I have registered at Embassy of India The Hague, do I also need to register in French Embassy , if yes, can you please give me the URL to do the registration.

Hi Amit! You don’t need to register with the French Embassy.

HI, is there a separate form that I need to fill for Self reporting form and Exemption Form ? I don’t need to apply for Exemption form, can you please give me the link for Self reporting form

Hi Amit! The self-reporting form and the Exemption form are two separate forms available on Air Suvidha.

I am travelling from Los Angeles to Hyderabad with Emirates flight, there is one travel requirement which I am not able to find the form for, could some one point me to the right direction to that form. Below is the travel requirement:

All passengers must submit an undertaking form on the online portal agreeing to follow advice by the appropriate government authority to undergo home quarantine or self‑monitoring of their health for 14 days or as mandated.

Where can i get the Undertaking form on Air Suvidha portal,

Thank you in advance

Hi Sravan! The self-declaration form is the undertaking form on Air Suvidha.

I’m travelling from Jeddah to ChennaI transit with dubai airport in Airsuvida self declaration form I need to enter which flight number dubai to Chennai or jeddah to dubai.???

Hi Rupesh! You need to enter the flight number of Dubai to Chennai.

I am traveling from USA to India-New Delhi and staying in Delhi for 2 days and traveling to Hyderabad which is the final destination.I am staying in Delhi in hotel for 2 days.

1) What should i fill in for the destination address in self declaration form in Air Suvidha? 2) DO i need to take covid test for traveling from New Delhi to Hyderabad?

Hi Avinash! Another COVID test is not mandatory for inter-state travel from Delhi to Hyderabad. In the self-declaration form, you need to provide the address of your final destination. Make sure to share your plan for stay in Delhi when you arrive at Delhi Airport.

I am also facing the issue the stamp and signature. In Germany , this is done through an APP and there is no Stamp and Signature. The guys who take the swab tests are not authorised to do such jobs. the APP gives the Result on digital format and in most cases such papers doesn’t need any signatures and Stamps. Unfortunately the Suvidha system is rejecting it. what will happen to me at Delhi? I will be traveling onward to Bangalore.

Your suggestions are appreciated. Thanks Kind Regards Jass

Hi Jass! Without a signature or stamp on the report, you may be denied boarding. Please be advised to check with the airline you will travel on.

Hello, I’m travelling from mauritius- dubai- mumbai will be carrying negative RT-PCR test within 72 hours will arrive in Mumbai within 24 hours and i’m leaving in mumbai itself within 5 km from the airport do i still need to be in mandatory quarantine for 7days?

Hi Akash! You may be subject to 7-day institutional quarantine in Mumbai upon arrival because of your transit in Middle East and your final destination is Mumbai.

What does the city of origin in the self-declaration form mean?

Hi Smirthi! In the self-declaration from, the city of origin means the city where your itinerary/travel begins from.

Hello, I would be travelling from Canada to Hyderabad with a flight change at London, united kingdom n both the flight bookings are under the same PNR. In the Air Suvidha form, do I need to put Canada or London as city of origin? What about the flight number, will it be one for Canada to London or London to Hyderabad? Thanks!

Hi Rajesh! Canada is your city of origin, and the flight number you need to provide is that of the Canada to London. Be requested to share your travel experience along with some details of the transit and the arrival. Wish you safe travel!

Hi Eagle eye,

I have flight from Warsaw – Dubai – New Delhi. So what should be my country of origin, city of origin and flight number. Should I enter country of origin as UAE and city of origin as Dubai? Please advise.

Hi Jugal! Your country of origin should be Poland and city of origin should be Warsaw. If your entire journey is on the same flight, then you will enter that flight’s number. But, if you are flying on separate flights, then you should enter the number of international flight to India.

I hope you can answer my questions or, perhaps, guide me to any FAQ page. I wish to travel to India (from US, direct) in a couple of weeks but am confused about how to properly use the “self declaration form”. -Do I need to submit the form at least 72 hours prior to travel? -That creates a problem because one is also expected to provide a negative test result from less than 72 hours prior to tarve. How does one reconcile these two requirements? [Maybe, one files the form early and then uploads the test results when they become available?] -If I have a negative test result, are there any quarantine/isolation requirements OR I may walk out of the airport and proceed to my destination right away? And, last: -Does it matter what is the reason for my travel? [I am a US citizen and just wish to visit my family in Rajasthan.] Thank you very much for your help with answering these, and for the yeoman service that you have provided to all travelers over the past nearly a year.

Hi Umesh ji! You can submit the self-declaration form and upload the negative report together within 72 hours prior to your scheduled departure. If you have a valid visa, you don’t need to specify any reason for travel. Please note e-visa and tourist visa are currently suspended. There is no institutional quarantine in Rajasthan. If you travel via Europe or Middle East, you will have to give your swab sample for a test at the arrival/entry airport and take a connecting domestic flight to Rajasthan.

Thank you very much, Kind Sir! I think I understand the procedure much better now.

Hi Umesh ji! Wish you happy and safe travel!

From what I have read in this thread so far, am I correct in understanding that one needs to fill both forms: the exemption form as well the self declaration form? And, that one cannot travel to India unless one receives some sort of approval on the exemption request? OR, is it that if one has a negative PCR test result, one doesn’t need the exemption form?

Hello Umesh ji! If death in the family is not your reason for travel, you don’t need to apply for exemption on Air Suvidha.

So, if I am traveling direct from the US, on a nonstop flight, and have a negative RT-PCR test result from within 72 hours of my departure from the US, there would be no issues on my arrival at Delhi airport? I would like to take a train to Rajasthan which departs within about 4 hours from arrival of my flight and I would like to leave about an hour to get from the airport to the train station. Thanks again for your kind assistance.

Hello Umesh ji! No problem on arrival at Delhi Airport if you are asymptomatic and carry 2-3 printouts of the negative RT-PCR report uploaded on Air Suvidha within 72 hours of your departure from the US. FYI, Rajasthan requires all travelers arriving by air, trains, buses and cars to carry a negative RT-PCR report that must not be older than 72 hours prior to arrival in the state. Please check whether your RT-PCR report issued in the USA remains valid till your arrival in Rajasthan. Otherwise, you will have to take a test and get the result before traveling to Rajasthan or undergo quarantine for 15 days.

Hi, iam traviling from dubai to hyderabad. on 31st . when i filling the air suvida form CITY OF ORGIN ? i need to write dubai or hyderabad? please replay…

In air suvidha portal, what would be the flight number to be updated, i have the same PNR for my entire journey.

Hi SV! You should fill the number of your international flight (Qatar Airways) in the Air Suvidha portal.

Hello, I would like to know that if my itinerary is Toronto- Dubai- Delhi under same PNR, then what should be 1. Country of departure- Canada or UAE 2. City of Origin– Toronto or Dubai 3. Flight number– Toronto to Dubai or Dubai to Delhi 4. Details of the Cities / Countries visited in last 14 days– Should I mention Dubai, UAE or not (there is no other travel within Canada) 5. Since I am originating from Canada but transiting in Dubai, will I have to undergo Molecular Covid test or not.

Thank you so much for your answers.

Hi Ankur! Your country of departure should be Canada, city of origin should be Toronto, flight number should be the one from Canada, and there is no need to mention Dubai, UAE under list of countries visited in the last 14 days. Yes, you will be required to submit your swab sample for a molecular test upon arrival at Delhi Airport.

Sir can the city of origin and country of origin could be same? Like I am flying from country Malta from Malta International airport.

Hi Sushant! If the name of the city is the same as the name of the country, then it might be okay. Please be advised to call the helpline number of Delhi International Airport.

In self declaration form I have written flight number of Lansing to Chicago and not of Chicago to Delhi and have submitted the form is it okay? have uploaded covid result too .I have received registration request application number.do I need their approval email too to get exemption from institutional quarantine before flying?

Hi Priti! If your entire journey is on single PNR, then you have to give the number of your flight from Lansing. If not, you have to give the flight number of your international flight to India. You do not have to wait for approval. You must take printouts of the COVID report and the PDF you might have received after submitting the self-declaration form on Air Suvidha.

I am to travel to COK from JFK on Sunday 11:00 PM by Emirates flight via Dubai (lay over 1hr 45 minutes). I can go for COVID test only on Friday April 9. I have received Pfizer vaccine 2nd dose on March 17. Tell me what I have to do? Thank You!

Hi Jose! You will need a negative RT-PCR test report not older than 72 hours before departure and upload it onto Air Suvidha portal. Also, you need to fill out a self-declaration form on the same portal. You have to register yourself on Kerala state government’s Jagratha portal and apply for an e-pass. Upon arrival at Cochin Airport, you will be required to submit your swab sample for a molecular test.

Thank you sir. I did not know it was so complicated. Thanks for the info.

Respected Sir, I am travelling from Madrid to Kochi via Doha. In Air Suvidha which flight number i should upload. I am travelling in two flghts.

Hi Savio! You must enter the number of your international flight to India.

Hello!! I would be traveling from New York to Delhi, stay in Delhi for 2-3 days and then travel to Mumbai. In the air suvidha form, what should I enter as my final destination? If it should be Delhi, can I give the address of the hote where I would be staying? Appreciate your response.

Hi Janki! We are not sure about this. Please be advised to call the helpline number of Delhi International Airport.

Hello!! I will be travelling from Austin-Newark-Delhi on the same confirmation number. In self declaration form, What flight number Shall I mention? Austin to Newark OR Newark to Delhi ? After uploading the negative RT-pcr test report. Once I receive registration request application number.Do I need their approval email too to get exemption from institutional quarantine before flying?

Hope I am clear with my questions.

Hi Ajeet! You need to enter the number of your flight from Newark-Delhi. You need to carry the print out of the PDF you might have received in your mail after registration on Air Suvidha portal. Please be advised to call the helpline number of Delhi International Airport.

But if i enter newark to delhi my pcr test would go beyond 72 hours. And itinerary is on a single PNR.

What should i do?

Hi Ajeet! Please be advised to check with the airline.

Hello, I entered Ticket number (1st 6 digits) in the PNR Field, instead of the booking reference. Will that be a problem? Do I have to submit another Self Declaration Form? Thank you, Diana

Hi Diana! Please be advised to call the helpline number of Delhi International Airport.

Unable upload RTPCR Test report and passport copy. Both files are very small. Please advise

Hi Nishtar! Please be advised to call the helpline number of Delhi International Airport.

Hi, Can I submit the Self Declaration form and upload the RT PCR test report later? Will it allow to upload the document later or should i do them both at the same time? Thanks

Hi Phani! You are required to fill out the self-declaration form and upload the negative report together.

We are travelling via Qatar Airways from Dallas Fort Worth to Bangalore, transiting at Doha on 12 April 2021. We hold US PASSPORT and OCI Cards. Our final destination is Bangalore.

1. We will get our RT- PCR test done 72 hrs before boarding the flight and 2. Registering in the Airsuvidha portal.

My question is regarding the Curfew from 10 pm to 7am which will be imposed in Bangalore from April 10. Since we are reaching early morning on April 14, is there anything we can do so that we can hire a car and go home without waiting for the curfew to release at 7am. Also,I would like to know if I need to do anything/ or register any other forms like SevaSindhu. Kindly let me know what is this portal( SevaSindhu ) for. Waiting for you Advice

I would also like to thank you and your team for the excellent work you are doing in guiding us to make our travel safe and hassle free.

Hi Samir! There is no restriction for travelers commuting to and from airports in any part of India during the curfew hours. Cabs will be available for international arrivals.

Hello! I’m from Belarus and going to Mumbai. How can I submit the self-declaration form before 72 hours if I will get my RT-PCR result before 48 years? And according to the guide the test should be done at least 72 hours. I’m confused. Does anyone know what is going after submitting the form. Is it confirmation or whatever? Flight Belarus – Dubai – Mumbai.

HI Hanna! You don’t need to submit the self-declaration before 72 hours. Once you have the negative RT-PCR report, you can submit the self-declaration and upload the negative report together.

thanks for your response, I was also confused about filling self declaration form 72 hour prior to travel.

Thank you for your response!!! Can you help me with another question? As a Belarus citizen , should I fill in any registration form at the emabassy of India? If yes, where can I find it? As I understand I need only to fill in self-declaration form! Am I right?

Hi Hanna! You only need to fill out self-declaration form.

Hello! We have our flight from Newark to Delhi next week and are going for COVID test on Wednesday. The actual report that we have from previous tests doesn’t mention RT-PCR explicitly but only COVID-19 PCR test while on the page with link to download the report mentions RT-PCR with a link to get more information.

Is it required to have RT-PCR mentioned in the report or COVID-19 PCR would be fine? If RT-PCR is required then we would need to find a different test source to get our results.

Hi Vivek! You can download the report which mentions RT-PCR. Please note it is mandatory to have RT-PCR mentioned on the report.

Hello! Thanks a lot for clarifying the requirement. Looks like we would need to visit another testing lab as the report only mentions COVID-19 PCR and not RT-PCR. You guys saved us from major headache.

Hi Vivek! We are glad to have helped you. Stay safe and take care.

Hello…. actually I am travelling from Sharjah to Jaipur and booked my tickets already but I don’t have my seat number and I have to fill my air suvidha form and it is compulsory to provide seat numbe. Now what to do

Hi Ritika! You can do Web/Tele check in for the flight and get the seat number within 72 hours of your departure from Sharjah. You can fill out the self-declaration form on Air Suvidha in the same time frame. Please note it is mandatory to provide the seat number.

Can you refill the air suvidha form if you made an error previously? Does the new form create any complications after landing in India?

Hi Taj! Please give it a try. We don’t think any complications will arise if you fill out a self-declaration form again.

Hi Taj, did you face any issues when you re-filled the form?

I am travelling from JFK to Abu Dhabi and to HYD. I am planning to take the PCR test 2 days before the departure in US and uploading.

Question is, Do I also need to take a PCR test again once I land in HYD as I read somewhere that people travelling from Middle east will need to take the PCR after landing. Is that already covered in the initial upload of PCR test that I will be doing or will I need another test after landing in HYD ?

Hi Kiran! You will be required to submit your swab sample for a molecular test upon arrival at Hyderabad Airport despite having a pre-arrival negative RT-PCR report not older than 72 hours before departure.

1. I filled out the self declaration form and got an SR number and an email. Do I need to check the status online or fill out an exemption or do anything else besides carrying a couple of hard copies? 2. I am going from US to DOHA to HYD. I have a negative PCR test with me. Do I need another on-arrival PCR test or since my origin is US and not UK, Middle East or Europe, I don’t need one?

Hi Vik! You don’t need to fill any exemption form on Air Suvidha portal apart from self-declaration form and carrying the hard copies of the PDF or file you received in mail. You will be required to submit your swab sample for a molecular test upon arrival at Hyderabad Airport, since you are transiting through the Middle East.

I am travelling from Dublin to New Delhi. I have filled the exemption request under the category “Suffered death at family” under Air Suvidha, but the status shows pending. I am carrying the death certificate & negative RTPCR (within 72hrs) report. Please suggest if I need to worry for the pending status of the exemption form.

Hi Joe! Since you already have a negative RT-PCR report not older than 72 hours before departure, you are good to go.

Hi! Indian eagle I have a from United States bagdogra and I’m trying to fill self-declaration form but I could not submit. Whenever I tried to submit one notification popped up and it says ‘flight number and tail number should be minimum 4 and maximum 6 alphanumeric value, space and special characters not allowed’. But I haven’t used any space while I put flight number. My flight number from EWR to Delhi is UA801. Please help what should I do, my flight is on 21st April and I’m traveling through United Airlines

Hi Meena! Please be advised to check with the airline or call helpline number of Delhi International Airport.

Hi Indian eagle, MY TRIP ID : OJAZNMWI0C

I booked a flight with you from IAD TO MAA ON 23 APR 2021 in Qatar airways. My question is While uploading my RT-PCR Test and details in Air suvidha it is asking My seat Number. But i dont have seat number. Cant i upload air suvidha self declaration form with out Seat number. Thank you

Hi Balakrishna! Some of our customers also faced the same issue and when we contacted them, they said they entered “00”, “Nil”, “NA”, or “Not Assigned”. You can also try this.

Thank you very much. Appreciate your response

I need to fly from Moscow to Kathmandu, transit via New Delhi. I fill the Suvidha Self-declaration Form, but I am asked to answer the Final Destination House, Street, State. I go transit throu, I don’t have an Indian Address. But without this information I cannot submit the Form. What to do?

What if I keep testing Covid positive even after my 14 day Isolation period is over in the USA.

How do I get back home?

Hello .. when we are fill the form of air suvidha with all details ,,, they send print in email id ,, but they write T on print , we dont know what is the meaning of T.

I am trying to upload self declaration form. I have a flight with AI 102 from New York to Delhi and AI 1126 from Delhi to Hyderabad. When I put flight number (AI102) it is giving below

“Flight number / tail number should be minimum 4 to maximum 6 alphanumeric value, space and special characters not allowed”

I’m also facing this issue.

How did you resolve this issue? i am facing same issue and not able to submit form.

I am traveling from Zurich(Switzerland) to India via Frankfurt(Germany). In the Air Suvidha self-declaration from what should be my Country of origin?

And in the Vande Bharat Mission form, Should I apply for both Embassy of India in Germany and Embassy of India in Switzerland?

I have covid negative test report, should I fill the quarantine exception form?

Thanks in advance! Satish.

Hi Satish! You should enter Zurich/Switzerland as your country of origin on self-declaration form. You should register with Indian Embassy, Germany. If your purpose of travel is not death in the family, you need not fill out any exemption form.

Country of origin should be zurich. But give the flight number and seat number of germany to india flight.

My itinary is (Emirates PNR) Hong kong to dubai, Dubai to Chennai. (Indigo PNR) Chennai to coimbatore. May i confirm, the flight number, seat number, departing time should be from dubai to chennai. The arrival time is time at chennai. Should i put transit as “Yes” while filling the SDF? I m using only domestic transfer and not travelling to other country from chennai (at my port)

Hi Nideesh! Yes, the flight number, seat number and departing time should be from Dubai to Chennai. Passengers must mention in SDF whether they are getting down at the arrival airport or will be taking a transit flight. Transit passengers must present the “T” (Transit) receipt on their SDF to state authority/ government of India.

Where can i submit the undertaking form online. Is SDF in air suvidha sufficient ?

Hi Nideesh! Yes, self-declaration form on Air Suvidha portal is sufficient for air travel to India. Along with SDF, you must also upload negative RT-PCR report not older than 72 hours before departure onto the same portal.

Hello, My flight is from USA-Abu Dhabi-AMD. I have RT-PCR report not older then 72 hours before departure from Abu Dhabi. Do I still need to complete PCR test at AMD airport? Thanks for all your support!!

Hi Vipul! Yes, you need to submit your swab sample for a molecular test upon arrival at AMD Airport despite having a pre-arrival negative RT-PCR report. However, you can exit the airport or take a connecting flight without having to wait for the result.

I don’t know if somebody already asked this question but I have this question, If someone was tested positive for covid then that person is likely to test positive for next 3 months in some cases, In this case if he wants to travel to India then how can he travel because he will get positive test result. For entry to USA and Canada they have provision for such cases that they can show the recent positive test and get a letter from doctor or public health that he/she is fit to fly. But there is no such provision there in AIR suvidha portal.

Hi Ayush! As per the guidelines, negative RT-PCR report not older than 72 hours before departure is mandatory for India-bound international arrivals. Please be advised to check with the airline.

Were you bale to find an answer for this?

My journey is from LHR-delhi-Cok . I forgot to add my pnr number(booking reference) in the air suvidha form, submitted all the details and received the copy of the self declaration from. Is there any chance I can edit these details and is it important to have my pnr number in the document.

Hi Anish! Please be advised to call the helpline number of Delhi International Airport.

My husband will be traveling from SFO to HYD and will be self-quarantining in another place instead of his house (we are unsure of the quarantining place yet). Can the address be different from the final destination address we provided in the exemption form or should we stay at the destination that we provided?

Hi SY! It might be okay to stay at another place in the same city. However, please be advised to call the helpline number of Delhi International Airport regarding the same.

Hi, I’m travelling from Toronto – Abu Dabi – Mumbai. My home and final destination is Pune (by road). My home is empty and I live by myself. I have a negative RT-PCR.

Will I require to do the 7 days institutional quarantine in Mumbai? Or can I continue to Pune after giving the swab sample?

Hi Delna! If you are not vaccinated with both the doses of COVID-19 vaccine or belong to any of the exempted categories https://www.indianeagle.com/travelbeats/mumbai-quarantine-rule-international-flyers/ , then you may be subject to 7-day institutional quarantine upon arrival at Mumbai Airport.

I am travelling to India tomorrow. I submitted a self declaration form with negative PCT test , and got a confirmation number and a pdf in a confirmation email. Do I get another email from Air Suvidha after my application is reviewed ?

Hi Sri! No, you won’t get any other e-mail. You need to print out the pdf that you already received.

I plan to travel from SFO to Delhi and then Delhi to Hyderabad. I got the Covid-19 test done but I have not received the report yet and I wont have it by the time I travel or put my leg in the plane. Will I still be able to fly from SFO to Delhi then Delhi to Hyderabad? I got both the vaccines and I have the proof of it.

Hi Uma! International arrivals into India must fill out a self-declaration form on Air Suvidha portal and also upload their pre-arrival negative RT-PCR report not older than 72 hours before departure onto the same portal. If the details are not filled on Air Suvidha portal, then passengers might be denied boarding. Please be advised to check with the airline.

Hi, I am flying from Boston to Chennai via Dubai tomorrow (Emirates). I submitted a Self-Declaration Form (SDF) on Air Suvidha portal with a negative PCR test. I got an email with a Registration request application number (starting with SR) and a pdf. Emirates requires me to have an ‘approval code’ from Air Suvidha after submitting SDF. But I have not yet received any approval/rejection email from Air Suvidha. What should I do? Could the approval process be taking longer because of confusion in dates/time-zones in verifying the 72 hr rule? I fly out Fri night EST, land Sunday morning IST. My PCR test report shows the time in UTC. Should I mark-up my test report with the departure and test times all in EST? Thank you!

Hi VBR! As far as we know, there is no separate approval e-mail and you just need to print out the PDF you received in your e-mail already. However, please be advised to call the helpline number of Delhi International Airport.

Have the same question. Any update?

Hi all, I am going to travel to India from the US on Sunday noon. I had a few questions regarding COVID test that is required before boarding the flight. 1. Which type of COVID tests are acceptable for travel to India? Which RT-PCR test nasal/throat swab, saliva, or rapid are acceptable? 2. Is a QR code on the test report necessary? Not all testing agencies report with a QR code. 3. If the flight is delayed by a few hours due to weather or issues from the airline-side, what happens to the validity of the test and the 72-hr window? 4. Does anyone know of fast RT-PCR testing sites in Denver and Denver suburbs? Any leads will be helpful.

Hi AG! As far as we know, RT-PCR test with nasal/throat swab would be fine. A QR code is mandatory for passengers flying out of India and not the other way, so please check with the airline.

I will be travelling with my 1 year old kid from USA to India. Self Declaration form shows number of passengers travelling. Do I need to mention as 2 and fill self declaration form for my kid as well?

Hi SV! As far as we know, you need to mention number of travelers as 2 since the Self-declaration form is must for all international arrivals.

Hi, I am traveling with my family from SFO (US) –> Dubai –> Delhi (India) on June 26th by Emirates and PNR/booking number is same for entire trip. What should be entered in Air Suvidha Self declaration form. ** I read almost all comments in this blog about Flight number, some comments says Flight number should be of Origin country which is the first flight but some comments says International flight landing in India (Delhi), I am confused which one is correct.

1. Flight number – Should it be of SFO(US) –> Dubai or Dubai to Delhi(India) 2. Will there be any Covid19 test again after landing in Delhi?. 3. I dont have any domestic connecting flight but I will be staying in Delhi for 3 days for US Visa interview, after that I would be flying to Andhra Pradesh by domestic flight – I feel I no need to say “yes” for “are you taking a domestic connecting flight” but need confirmation whether I am correct or not. Also as I would be staying in Delhi Hotel for 3 days until I finish my Visa processing, will this cause any concerns

Thanks in advance for your suggestion and comments

Hi Naga! As far as we know, you need to enter the flight number from SFO since the entire journey is on same PNR number. Yes, you will be required to submit your swab sample for a molecular test upon arrival at Delhi Airport. You need not select taking a connecting domestic flight. Please be advised to check with the airline as well. You might be allowed to stay at hotel without any issues.

Hello, I am traveling from Newark to Frankfurt and then connecting to a Frankfurt-Delhi flight. All Lufthansa, but different flight numbers and different PNR for each leg as I purchased them separately. What should I fill in for country of origin, PNR number and Flight number on the Air Suvidha form? Thanks so much for your help. Best wishes, Srirupa

Hello, I am traveling from Newark to Frankfurt and then taking an immediate connection Frankfurt to Delhi. Same airline (Lufthansa) but 2 separate PNR and 2 separate flight numbers. Could you please help me with the following: – what origin city/country should I fill out? – which PNR number? -which flight number? Thank you so much! Best wishes, Srirupa

Hello, I am traveling from Newark to Frankfurt then connecting Frankfurt to Delhi, 2 separate flights with 2 separate PNR. Which flight number and PNR should I fill in on the form? Thanks so much.

Hi Srirupa! Probably, you need to provide the flight number and PNR of your Newark to Frankfurt flight.

Hi, I am flying Emirates from Los Angeles (LAX) to Mumbai (BOM) with halt in Dubai (DXB). I know I have to fill out the self-declaration form. I do not have a seat number yet, should I wait until the day when I get the seat number at LAX? Do I need to fill out a form to avoid institutional quarantine because I am fully vaccinated? Also, just to make sure, I use the flight number for the flight from LAX to DXB correct? Thank you.

Hi Dhairya! Yes, you might have to wait till you get a seat number and yes, your flight number from LAX to DXB is what you need to enter. However, please be advised to call the helpline number of Delhi International Airport to see if there’s any other way to deal with the seat number. You need not fill out any other form for exemption, you just need to present your vaccine certificate indicating both doses of COVID-19 vaccine to the satisfaction of the in-charge officer on arrival at Mumbai Airport for exemption.

Thank you so much. I called Delhi Airport and they said it is fine if I get the seat number at LAX because it only takes 15-20 minutes for them to approve the self-declaration form which should not interfere with my arrival in BOM.

Hi Dhairya! Thank you for sharing the information.

My wife and my 2 daughters (2 yrs and 8yrs old) are travelling from London to UK. Could you advise on what are the formalities for them to reach home without any problems please? I have listed some of the things here. Please let me know if I have missed out anything.

1. Complete self declaration form for all three – Do they need to fill it online or print and carry along? 2. Negative RT-PCR test 72 hrs prior to the flight departure – Since my daughters are under 11, do they both need to go through this test as well? 3. Do they need to apply for exemption online since she is along with under aged kids?

Besides above, let me know if I need to do anything for them to have uninterrupted journey.

Hi Pat! There seems to be a typing mistake, can you please tell us to which place in India are they traveling to? After filling out the self-declaration form online, they will get a pdf or such file in e-mail which needs to be printed out as well. Yes, both your daughters are also required to present pre-arrival negative RT-PCR report. No, there is no need to fill any form online for exemption.

My wife and kids are flying from JFK-AUH-AMD on Thursday 7/22. I had a few questions regarding SDF. I wish they would have proper instructions, although i’ve read through all the comments I just want to make sure.

1. Can I fill out the SDF for them now? and then go back and add their test results. They are taking their RT-PCR test at Walgreens tomorrow morning, and as soon as we get results I can come back and upload. Or is it better to just wait til we get results and then upload?

2. Has anyone used a Walgreens test?

3. Which flight number should be entered? JFK-AUH or AUH-AMD? Also pertaining to this question further down on form it asks for city of departure. If i were to put AUH-AMD flight number on the form would I put New York or Abu Dhabi as departure?

4. What does it mean by Final Destination Tehsil?

Hi Amrish! You need to fill out the SDF along with uploading the negative RT-PCR report. As far as we know, you need to enter the flight number of your JFk-AUH flight if the entire journey is booked on the same PNR. Your city of departure might be New York. Final destination Tehsil means the place where your journey will end in India.

Walgreens PCR test was accepted to travel to India for your family?

Hello My family will be travelling from Seoul to Delhi (with same PNR number). Qatar Airline at Seoul recommends showing Covid negative repart and test being taken 48 hours before departure time. However it takes 1 day to get the covid report. Hence at the time of filling Air Suvidha form we will have just 1 day to reach Delhi. My question is Exemption from quarantine could take more than 1 day so what could be done to be on safer side ?

Hi Sultan! As per the guidelines, the self-declaration form on Air Suvidha portal needs to be filled along with uploading your negative RT-PCR report.

My wife and son (3yrs) will be flying out from Toronto & reaching Delhi via Dubai. Questions- 1. Do I need to fill out self declaration forms for both? In other words, do I need to start the entire process on this page – “https://www.newdelhiairport.in/airsuvidha/apho-registration” twice? 2. The form needs flight/tail# – should this be the flight originating in Toronto or the connecting flight from Dubai? 3. If we upload a negative RT-PCR report within 72 hours, do they still need to get another test done after arriving in Delhi? 4. Once submitted, can any of the information be edited/corrected if required? 5. If travel date is Aug-7th, when should I start the process of filling out the SDF on the Air Suvidha portal?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Shouvik! You need fill out the details in one form only. If the entire journey is on the same PNR, then the flight tail number should be of the one that departs from Toronto. Yes, they will be required to undergo a molecular test on arrival despite having pre-arrival negative RT-PCR report. Yes, the self-declaration form can be edited and also, it should be submitted along with uploading your negative RT-PCR report.

Hi Shouvik,

I hope everything going well for the flight tomorrow. We will also be going from Toronto to Bengaluru on August 14.

Curious to know, when did your wife and son took RT-PCR test? and how much time they promised to give report?

Many thanks!

Hello! I will be flying to Delhi from Montreal via Doha (YUL-DOH-DEL) with Qatar Airways. The ticket is on the same PNR. I just wanted to confirm a few things regarding the Air Suvidha portal, and would appreciate your feedback. 1. The tail number, as I understand from the various comments, would be for the flight YUL-DOH? And the Country of Departure would be Canada, and the City of Origin Montreal? 2. The PCR test has to be taken at most 72 hours from the first flight (YUL-DOH)? 3. Is there any registration required with the Indian High Commission in Canada? From what I have read so far, it seems the registration applies to travellers on the VBM flights, but I just want to be sure. Thank you!

Hi JD! Yes, the tail number should be of the YUL-DOH flight, the Country of Departure Canada, and the City of Origin Montreal. The negative RT-PCR report should not be older than 72 hours prior to departure of your YUL-DOH flight. No, there is no need for any such registration.

During filling up the air suvidha form can I still upload the proof of PCR test taken and carry the test result with me while boarding, Regarding the PCR test as per my understanding it should be taken within 72 hrs of the start of your journey. Is it right? Asking this as we have a long way of 45hrs journey including transit layovers. Pls reply.

Hi Jos! As per the guidelines, you have to upload the negative RT-PCR report along with filling the self-declaration form on Air Suvidha portal. The negative RT-PCR report should not be older than 72 hours prior to your departure.

Dear Sir, Once the SDF is submitted along with Negative PCR report , how long will it take to get the confirmation/pdf by email . I mean , if I submit the details by evening am I allowed to depart next day early morning .?

Hi Manu! It May take few hours but we can’t assure. Please be advised to call the helpline number of Delhi International Airport.

I will be travelling from Taiwan to Kerala ..As i don’t have a direct flight, I have booked Emirates from Taiwan to Dubai and after a layover of around 14 hours, I will be taking Air India Express flight from Dubai to Kerala…While filling the Air suvidha self declaration form, which flight number should I provide (Taiwan to Dubai or Dubai to Kerala) ?

I have a flight with United Arab Emirates EK510 but it is given error when submitting

Kindly give some inputs

Hi Mohd! Please be advised to call the helpline number of Delhi International Airport.

Hi! Indian eagle I have a from United States bagdogra and I’m trying to fill self-declaration form but I could not submit. Whenever I tried to submit one notification popped up and it says ‘flight number and tail number should be minimum 4 and maximum 6 alphanumeric value, space and special characters not allowed’. But I haven’t used any space while I put flight number. My flight number from Amsterdam to Mumbai is KL877 but this value is not accepted in application

Hi Bijay! Some other travelers have faced this issue as well. Please be advised to call the helpline number of Delhi International Airport.

Please use KL0877 for the flight number which the system should accept. It might be that the ticketing software emits the first digit of the numeric in case it is a zero. When I had booked the same sector in the past directly from KLM, the flight number was KL0877

Just to help others: I was getting the below error while uploading the documents (Passport copy or PCR Test Result).

“File name with any special characters and space are not permitted. Only hyphen and underscore permitted”.

To solve this issue, please change the file name from “Passport Copy” to “Passportcopy” (without space).

Hope this helps someone :).

Hi Sabeer! Thank you very much for sharing your experience.

Hi Indian eagle, After submitting SDF at Air Suvidha, whether SDF details for international arriving passengers received in pdf form from Air Suvidha i.e application accepted by ministry of civil aviation on behalf of ministry of health and FW, is final approval from GOvt of India for international passengers intend to travel to India.

Hi Vinod! Yes, it is. Make sure to take printouts of the PDF you receive via email.

Hi! Jordan is your country of departure. For any other information, you can call the helpline of Delhi International Airport that manages the Air Suvidha portal.

Hello! I am taking a flight from Toronto to Hyderabad via Emirates through Dubai. In the SDF, it is asking for departure city and departure country, would that be Dubai or Canada? Also, will I need to do a molecular test in Hyderabad if i have a negative test from Canada within 72 hours? Will I need to do any test in Dubai too? Also, will I be allowed to travel domestically in India within 14 days? Thanks

Hi Ramya! Your departure country is Canada. There is no test for transit travelers in Dubai. Because of your transit in the Middle East, you will have to give your swab sample on arrival at Hyderabad Airport. However, you will be allowed to exit the airport without waiting for the test result. You can travel within India right from the day of arrival in India.

We are flying next week from London on a direct flight to Mumbai. 2 Adults and 2 children (2 years and 6 years old). Adults fully vaccinated and therefore as per the Maharashtra government guidelines we should not need a RT PCR test as part of our self declaration form. However, do i need to RT PCR test my 2yr and 6 yr old children?

Hi Rashid! Your kids must take an RT-PCR test before traveling to Mumbai.

Great! Thanks! also, I downloaded the Aaroghya Setu App on my phone but because mine is an international number, I am unable to register, is that OK?

Hello. Are they accepting or rejecting the self declaration. The form has a question about immunosupressive therapy. I am taking 1-2 immunosuppresant medication. However my purpose of going is to get married and i have an oci. Please let me know if the do end up rejecting travelers based on this. I am completely health though now. Blood work and everything is perfect.

Hi Tammy! If everything is okay about your health, you can choose to ignore this in the self-declaration form.

Hi I am travelling from London to Hyderabad by emirates. other than the self declaration the airline website says I also need to fill an undertaking form. I have tried to click on the link provide it takes me back to the self declaration form. Is the undertaking form same as self reporting form that I found on air suvidha website.

Also on the self declaration form there is a question of countries visited in last 14 days. I am transiting via Dubai do I need to mention on the form. Also if there is no seat number available until I reach if i enter N/a will the form be rejected. I am travelling with kids so want to ensure there is no hiccups.

Hi AB! As you are required to fill out and submit a self-declaration form on Air Suvidha within 72 hours prior to undertaking the journey from London (even before transiting in Dubai), you can choose to avoid providing any detail here. You can enter NA in the blank for seat number.

Hi, On the air suvidha form, there is a question on diabetes, hypertension etc diseases. Could you please let me know the implications of declaring the conditions? Are there any additional restrictions for people with these diseases? Secondly, whether hard copies are mandatory? Please let me know. Thanks

Hi Kaushik! We have little idea whether there are restrictive implications of declaring the conditions. On submission of the self-declaration form, you will received a PDF to the registered email ID. Please take 2-3 printouts of the same.

I have filled the self declaration form and have recess PDF in email. Apart from this do we get any approval code as well? For sdf

Hi Manish! The PDF in the email may have the approval code.

I am residing in Dubai. Currently, my wife and daughter are in Kerala, India. I want to go to India and bring them to UAE. But, i wont get more than 5 days leave from company. Is the to and fro travel possible in a span of 5 days? Will Air suvidha regulations permit such requests?

Hi Rony! You can travel back within 5 days of your arrival in India. Make sure that your wife and daughter are eligible for entry into the UAE.

Hi Satyabrata! You can fill out a new self-declaration form on Air Suvidha or call the helpline number of New Delhi Airport.

Quick question on contact number on self declaration form. If I use UK number which might not work as there is no international roaming and normally I buy local Sim card after landing in India. I don’t have any Indian Number to put it on the form. . so how I proceed with Contact Number. If Authorities try to contact me during my home isolation , how they contact me if I put UK number on the self declaration form.

Hi Anil! You can provide an Indian number of a close family member in India.

Hi IndianEagle,

I am travelling to India from Indonesia via Dubai, i have only 48 hours window for getting the RT-PCR test done (emirates requirement for indonesia travellers) and i will get my report only 8 hours before the travel. My concern is on getting the Approval email from AIR Suvidha portal for self-declaration ( NOT exemption) within this short time. Emirates needs the approval code before boarding. So the question is on the time ( max) required for getting the approval code after submitting self-decleration form. Kindly reply

Hi Mahesh, did you got any replay? I am also in this same situation…

I just spoke with a customer care representative at Delhi Airport. No approval code comes through, it is just the pdf that comes in the email after you fill the self-declaration form.

I am travelling to India on 08/18/21 On self-declaration form. What is your request number ( ERO) And what is PNR number ? Where do you find these to fill the self-declaration form?

PNR Number Enter PNR number

Hi Kaur! You will find the PNR number on your flight tickets.

Can you please advise i am travelling to Delhi from Oman next week, and Air suvidha self declaration form is asking to upload vaccination certificate as my kid is 5 years old and not vaccinated yet, how do i fill the form is it mandatory.

Hi Dhawal! Vaccinated certificate is not mandatory for kids.

Hi I am filling self declaration form through Air Suvidha portal today, but did not have RT-PCR result. I am going to travel on 8.21.21, whether can I upload RT-PCR test result on 19th or 20th to my form. System will allow to do so……. or I need to wait until I get the test result and then fill up the form. Travel is from USA to Chennai.

Hi Balaji! As per the norms, you need to submit the self-declaration form and upload the negative RT-PCR test result on Air Suvidha within 72 hours prior to boarding your flight in the USA.

Hello, I am traveling from San Francisco to India via Dubai (Emirates) soon and am fully vaccinated. I wanted to know if the CDC vaccination card is enough as proof of vaccination at the Mumbai airport or if I need anything else as well. Also, what other letters/documents do I need to procure?

Hi Prachi! The CDC vaccination certificate is a valid proof of vaccination. On arrival, you will need to submit an undertaking form that you may find on the website of Mumbai Airport or you will be given at the airport if Maharashtra is your final destination.

I am travelling to banglore through dubai (will not leave the airport). Do I fill the air suvidha form using details of my flight form the uk to dubai or dubai to banglore ?

Hi Am! If your entire journey is on the same PNR, then you need to enter the flight number of the flight from UK to Dubai.

Hi, When I try to fill out the self declaration form it asks me to fill the exmption category, but it has only 2 items (Select and death in the family). If you click on Select that gets applied but the form doesn’t accept. Why is that. My travel is on 27th August 21.

Hi Anantha! You don’t need to fill the exemption form if there is no exigency of death in the family.

Hi, Can i take Rapid test and upload it in Air Suvidha ? I gave PCR Test but still i haven’t got the result. Not sure if i can get it before i board the flight Travelling from Chicago -> Doha -> Hyderabad

Hi Sri! As per India’s entry guidelines for international arrivals, you need to take an RT-PCR test, not a rapid test.

Hi Sudhanshu! If you hold a single PNR for the entire itinerary, you can provide details of the flight from LA. If you have different PNRs for the flights, you can provide details of the flight from Dubai to India.

Hi Pchitnis! The US is your country of travel origin. You can try to submit another SD form on Air Suvidha.

I keep coming back with different questions regarding a trip later this month. 🙁 Please bear with me.

I will travel Newark-Mumbai and after a 4-day stay Mumbai, will to Rajasthan, eventually returning to the US from Delhi. Q: In the Air Suvidha form, it asks for full address etc. of my “final destination”. Is that final destination for me Mumbai, my hometown in Rajasthan, or Delhi (where I will be only for a few hours–the time between arrival from Rajasthan and departing for the US)?

Thanks much and best regards.

Hello Umesh ji! Rajasthan is your final destination. May we know you will travel to Mumbai on a direct flight from Newark or via the Middle East or Europe?

Thank you. I am taking a direct flight from Newark, USA, and will be in Mumbai for 4 days (staying at a hotel) before taking a flight to Delhi and an onward flight to Ajmer.

I am travelling from Geneva to Chennai via London along with my 1 year old son. I am fully vaccinted and getting PCR test done with 72 hours.

Should I add my son as co-passenger details? Is a PCR test required (1 year old) ?

Hi Thulasi! As per India’s entry guidelines, your son is also required to take an RT-PCR test within 72 hours prior to traveling to India.

Hi. I am filling air suvidha form, everything filled but it is showing error in uploading rt pcrtest pdf file. Its just 400kb file. What should i do? I am travelling from Abudhabi to Mumbai

I am just wondering, what are the requirements from coming back from New Delhi to San Franscisco. Can someone help me on this ? Thanks in advance

Hi Surinder! The requirements are very simple. If you are not subject to the Presidential Proclamation 10199, you need to take an RT-PCR test within 72 hours prior to undertaking the journey from India.

Thanks, appreciate your support

Hello, I am travelling with My 16 month baby from Canada to India. Can you tell me all the requirements? Is it necessary to pPCR test for my baby? My PCR test is on 27sept and my flight is on 28sept. Is it ok if I fill E my form after getting my results?

Hi Sandeep! Everyone traveling to India from abroad, even an infant on lap, has to take an RT-PCR test prior to traveling. Within 72 hours prior to boarding the flight from Canada, you should submit a self-declaration form and upload the negative COVID report on Air Suvidha.

No you don’t less than 5 year no need to take RT_PCR test

I am flying from Detroit-Chicago-Doha-Chennai on a single PNR and then from Chennai to Trichy on a separate PNR. Is the 72hr requirement for RT-PCR test is counted towards the first flight segment of the international travel (this will be domestic flight as part of the journey to India) ?

Do I need to apply for TN e-pass ? I heard that TN govt removed e-pass req. early July for inter-district travel

Also, I may not have my mobile active in India. How can I support the requirement for arogya setu app ?

Hi Meyapan! You need to take an RT-PCR test within 72 hours prior to traveling from Detroit. Applying for TN e-pass is mandatory for international arrivals in Tamil Nadu. What the government of Tamil Nadu removed is e-registration for inter-district travel. Please note e-registration and TN e-pass are not same.

My husband had added my details on Airsuvidha portal for exemption but i did not receive the registration mail but he got it. Is this fine or something wrong? If the Application we filled has mistake can we do the application again?

Hi Nabila! If your husband added your details in a single self-declaration form, you won’t get a separate registration email.

When do we have to fill the Air Suvidha form? I am travelling on Friday, October, 1st and I will hve my RT_PCR test done today.

The RT_PCE test reports takes 24-48 hours to come back, so I can only fill Air Suvidha for then when I have the test results. That will be within 24-12 hours of my boarding. IS that time enough or should I fill the form without RT_PCR report now?

Hi Andy! You need to fill out the self-declaration form and upload the negative COVID-19 report on Air Suvidha within 72 hours prior to undertaking travel to India.

Hello, While filling Air suvidha form it is asking for seat number. But right now i Don’t know my seat number. So what do I ill in that place? Thank you

Hi Mothilal! Please do web check-in and get the seat number. You can fill out the self-declaration form within 72 hours prior to boarding your departure flight.

Hello, today I have flight at noon from JFK to Hyderabad but rt-Pcr test result yet to come still waiting for the covid test result, I was vaccinated,how should I proceed ?

Hi Mohan! Having a negative COVID report prior to boarding the flight at JFK is mandatory.

Hello, We submit the “PNR” number as the reservation number on our ticket. is that correct or is it the confirmation number? if it’s wrong, do we have to re-do the declaration form ?

Hi – thanks for this forum. Its really helpful. I’m traveling on Air India (San Francisco – Mumbai) which transits through New Delhi but requires changing terminals/planes. Would this require following the international covid protocols of New Delhi and/or Mumbai? It seems like the 72-hr negative PCR test & self declaration through air suvidha portal needs to happen. Is there more?

Hi Kevin! As you will travel on Air India’s nonstop flight to Delhi, you don’t need to take a COVID test on arrival at Delhi Airport.

Hello My Name is Hemant Thaker. I am travelling from Portland Oregon USA to Mumbai Via Doha on Qatar Airways. is it mandatory to have PCR Report with QR Code ? we do not get RT-PCR report with QR code. What we get is PCR report without QR code. is it ok to travel with PCR report without QR code ?

Hi Hemant! Having a QR code on the RT-PCR report is not mandatory for travel to India. It is mandatory for travel to USA from India.

Hello! We are 5 passengers from Riyadh (KSA) to Hyderabad via Emirates through Dubai. In the SDF, it is asking for departure city and departure country, would that be Dubai or Riyadh (KSA) ? Also, will I need to do a molecular test in Hyderabad if i have a negative test from Riyadh within 72 hours? Moreover we have another domestic flight from Hyderabad to Nagpur should we do molecular test in Hyderabad or leave without test & board in domestic flight ?

Hi Rahil! Your departure city is Riyadh. It is mandatory to take a self-paid RT-PCR test on arrival at Hyderabad Airport.

I keep getting an error with “Flight/Tail number must be between 4 to 6 alphanumeric characters, no special char or spaces” but all I’m entering is “EK500” or “UA500”. It won’t accept anything. Is this a new bug? I even tried other airline flight numbers but no luck.

I am getting the exact error :Flight/Tail number must be between 4 to 6 alphanumeric characters, no special char or spaces.” For this error, I am having to cancel my flight to India tomorrow because I cannot travel without submitting an Air Suvidha Self Declaration. So much for easy travel.

I am booked on Etihad from BNA-ORD-AUH-DEL, with BNA-ORD leg on American Airline. Though Etihad issued an e-ticket with a single reference number and ticket number, but American Airlines flight from BNA-ORD shows a different American Airline reservation code on the ticket. Is my ticket considered a single PNR or two PNR? And which PNR & flight details should I enter on SDF?

Hi – i am traveling to Chennai from SFO via Doha on the 14th… i am planning to take an RT PCR test on the 11th. are there any recommended testing sites or can I go to one of my choice?

Good Morning Indian Eagle Support Team,

My name is Bhadresh & I am planning to travel to Ahmedabad (IAD to AMD via Doha – Qatar Airways) – I am fully vaccinated as well. I am also planning to get the RT-PCR test done within 72 hrs – My questions are,

1. Am I eligible for home quarantine? I am planning to travel by car from AMD to Surat.

2. Which form should I fill up first (Self Declaration or Exemption ?)

3. The Test results takes up to 48 hrs so – how am I going to fill up the form without test results (I guess I have to wait for the results before I fill out those forms) but not sure if that’s enough time for them to review my documentation & approve my exemption request.

Thank you for your great support in this covid situation,

Best Regards, Bhadresh

Hi Bhadresh! Good morning to you too! Being asymptomatic and having a negative COVID-19 report from the US, you are not subject to home-quarantine at your destination. If you are traveling not in the exigency of death in family, you don’t need to fill out the exemption form. The only form you need to fill and submit on Air Suvidha is the self-declaration one, and that too after you receive the negative RT-PCR test report.

Me and my Friend we are traveling to Delhi from Riga and trying alot to upload the RT-PCR test but it shows error and not going forward I am the airport connection waiting to board my flight to Delhi from Doha please help me they won’t let me board the flight if I don’t get this done it’s urgebt

Hello: I am flying from Dallas to Bangalore transitioning via London (BritishAirways). Not travelling in London. Several questions. 1. What is country of departure? USA or UK? There is a big debate between my friends. 2. What is the Flight number I should enter? Dallas-London (BA0192) or the one from London to BLR (BA0119) 3. What is city of origin-Dallas or London? 4. Details of countries visited in last 14 days. 0 or 1? Does transitioning through UK count as country visited? 5. What is the date of journey? The date I started in Dallas or London? 6. My phone contact? Can I give my United States phone number? 7. What is PNR? Is it Booking Ref Number? 8. How much does the PCR Test cost? Do they accept credit card in BLR? Thanks

Hi Ram! The US is your country of departure and Dallas of the city of origin. You can enter the Dallas-London flight number. The date of journey is the date you will board the flight from Dallas. You can give your US phone number. You will find the PNR on the ticket. It is not the booking reference number. A regular RT-PCR test costs nearly 800 rupees per person at BLR Airport.

Hi: I thought the Flight Number to enter is the one from UK to BLR since that is what reaches India. Am I incorrect? Can I pay for the PCR Test using a US Credit Card?

Can I start filling in form but not finish it till later? Or, if I leave am I screwed? Or, if I submit, I am in for rough times because it was incomplete?

I want to fill in everything except the RC-PCR Test stuff.

I do not wan t to experiment.

Hi Kumar! If you are asymptomatic, you will be able to travel from Delhi to Chennai with the negative RT-PCR report from the US.

What is PNR number in Air Suvidhya form. Is it United 6 digit confirmation number ?

Hi Arun! Please check the e-ticket for the PNR number.

For British Airways, it is the booking reference number. I confirmed. So, maybe, something similar. Yes 6 digit number. PNR is not term used in other places.

On the Air Suvidha form, what is the flight number to enter when I am travelling from USA to Bangaluru and transiting via UK? (British Airways)? Flight from US to London or the one from London to India. PNR is same for both.

Hello, I have the same question.

I am flying from Toronto to Mumbai via Frankfurt.

An Air Canada flight from Toronto to Frankfurt and then a Lufthansa flight from Frankfurt to Mumbai.

Which flight tail number are we supposed to enter, I am a bit confused after reading the previous comments.

WHAT IS THE TAIL NUMBER THAT IS NEEDED IN THE AIR SUVIDHA FORM?

I would ignore it. Flight Number is good. How would one know the type of aircraft? Tail number? They could change at the last moment.

I’m traveling from Austin(US) o Mumbai,. My journey is Austin (US) -> Dallas (US) -> Doha -> Mumbai Which flight should I put in the tail number detail?

Hi Abhay! You can put the number of the Dallas-Doha or Doha-Mumbai flight.

Hi Ramakrishnan! Thank you very much for sharing this.

There is a recovery certificate provided by Finland authority which states that I am not contagious anymore and its valid for 6 months.

Hi Ashish! You can carry the recovery certificate. Other than that, you must take an RT-PCR test within 72 hours prior to undertaking the journey from Finland.

I propose to travel by Newark Ahmedabad Air India flight after taking booster dose of moderna vaccine . Earlier,I have already taken two doses of vaccine in Feb 2021. Is their any condition that I cannot undertake journey for up to.14 days after booster dose? Or this rule is applicable only to first or second dose?

Hi Harendra! Vaccination or a booster dose is not a requirement for travel to India. No matter when you took the vaccine doses or the booster dose, you can travel to India.

My wife is travelling tomorrow from London (Heathrow) to Mumbai via Virgin Atlantic. We have done the check-in and received a boarding pass that says ‘Seat to be assigned at gate’. Wanted to check, if we can still fill her Air Suvidha form if she does not have a seat number. Since the section is mandatory to fill, can we put ‘TBA’ instead. We have proof of the boarding pass that does not have a seat no. Also, rest requirements of documents and RT-PCR test results are in place.

Can you please provide some guidance.

Hi Francis! In our knowledge, your can put a random number. It won’t be an issue.

I’m facing the same error. How did you fix it ?

I am travelling from Russia to Delhi tomorrow. I am trying to submit the self declaration form but I keep getting an error message that my negative RT PCR test report couldn’t be uploaded due to invalid file size. I am uploading a PDF of 45KB whereas the limit is 1MB. I have also removed all hyphens and spaces from the name. Please advice at the earliest on how to proceed.

Did this work? I am facing the same issue!

Hi The Air Suvidha website keeps giving errors with file uplaod saying invalid file size even though files are within 1MB limit. Can one fill the form in physical before boarding the flight since Air Suvidha website always had problems and it continues still even India is considered to be IT heaven?

Hi Avnish! It is mandatory to submit a self-declaration form and upload a negative RT-PCR report on Air Suvidha prior to your scheduled travel.

Hi Ankit, I have the same problem. If you were able to find a way out? Thanks.

My brother is going to be traveling to Delhi from Newark on United airline. He does not know how to use a computer and I am 800 miles away so I can not fill it as his RT-PCR report will not be available until few hours before the departure. Can Self Declaration Form be filled in paper and handed over at the Delhi airport? Will United airline allow him to board without AirSuvidha on-line SDF form?

Hi Pradeep! It is mandatory to fill out a self-declaration form and upload a negative RT-PCR report on Air Suvidha before scheduled departure.

Hello, I am not sure about this: Give an undertaking on the portal through the concerned airlines before they are allowed to undertake the journey that they would abide by the decision of the appropriate govt to undergo quarantine. Do I have to get this from the airlines? Please advise.

Hi James! It is a generic requirement. If you are found symptomatic during temperature check on arrival or if your destination needs you to quarantine, you should quarantine yourself. You need to submit this undertaking on Air Suvidha, an extension of Delhi Airport website.

I am feeling the Air Suvidha travel form, after completing all the sections and when submitting I get the message “Flight number / tail number should be minimum 4 to maximum 6 alphanumeric value, space and special characters not allowed” However I checked the the flight number and there in no space or special characters its BA0119, please guide me what I am doing wrong as I am flying in 7 hours from Caribbean.

Hi I have flight to Mumbai from Muscat via Dubai. Which flight number should I mention in Airsuvidha form..? Muscat- Dubai flight or Dubai-Mumbai flight..? Also seat number of which flight shall I mention… that of Muscat-Dubai or Dubai-Mumbai…?

Hi, does Indian person also need to fill the Air Suvidha form who has traveled out of India for 5 -7 days and also have double Covishield Vaccination certificate before leaving India?

Hi Charanjit! Your query is not clear to us. Could you be a little more specific?

Hi. I am trying to fill the air suvidha self declaration form and I’m confused about the PNR that I should be entering. I am travelling from Boston to Nagpur, and have connecting flights (Boston-Doha, Doha-Mumbai, Mumbai-Nagpur). Which PNR should I enter in the form as all flights have a different PNRs? Also, I have a negative RT-PCR test and a vaccination certificate. Will I have to quarantine at all?

Hi Saloni! You can enter the PNR of either Boston to Doha flight or Doha to Mumbai flight. If you are asymptomatic, then no quarantine.

Hi Indianeagle,

Earlier you had mentioned to “may be fill two Air Suvidha, one for each PNR, just want to confirm your above response. Just use one of the PNR? And 72 hour clock starts while boarding in US / first leg / first PNR

Hi Hardik! If your itinerary has two PNRs, it is not possible to fill a self-declaration form for each of the two PNRs. If there is more than one traveler and they have different PNRs, then each of the travelers should fill a self-declaration form on Air Suvidha.

Hi, I am traveling from New York to Chennai via Delhi through Air India and all in a single PNR. What city would I enter for the ‘First Port of Entry’ question? Would it be Delhi or Chennai?

Since my immigration would be processed in Chennai, asking this question.

Greatly appreciate all your answers in this site. They are very helpful.

Hi Raj! Your first port of entry is Delhi. Wish you safe and hassle-free travel.

Hi !! My passport doesn’t have a last name. What name should I fill in the self declaration form ?

Hi Anjali! In our knowledge, your name on the passport should match your name on the vaccination certificate or negative RT-PCR report.

Hi, we are traveling from USA to Chennai (India) with a stop-over at Doha (Qatar airways) this November (OCI and PIO card holders).

Question: Air Suvidha form requires to upload a negative covid-PCR test and that Air Suvidha needs to filled up 72 hours “before” departure. But the covid-PCR Test needs to be done “within” 72 hours of departure. How can I satisfy both these timelines, in that Air Suvidha should be completed 72 hours “before” departure, while PCR test should be done “within” 72 hours of departure?

Can someone help me suggest, what would be the ideal timeline for PCR test and filling up Air Suvidha form? Will this be valid, take the PCR test 2.5 days prior to travel, and fill up Air-Suvidha 1.5 days prior to travel?

newdelhiairport.in/blog/air-suvidha-to-make-arrival-safe-and-easy-for-international-arriving-passengers

Hi Kishore! Please don’t be confused. You can take an RT-PCR test and upload a negative report on Air Suvidha within 72 hours prior to your scheduled departure from the US.

Hi, I’m leaving from UK to Kochi via Emirates on 20th. I was due to get my connecting flight on 21st and to land in India on 21st. With this schedule, I have planned for RT PCR on 18th. But Emirates are now delaying my connecting flight by 24 hrs. So will be able to take the connecting flight on 22 nd only. Will that affect the validity of my RTPCR as it would have been taken more than 72 hrs before the connecting flight from Dubai to Kochi

Hi Shalini! 72 hours is calculated prior to your first international flight from the UK, not the connecting flight from Dubai. If the connecting flight is delayed, the airline should be responsible for this, not you. Given the delay of the connecting flight, the health officers deployed at Kochi International Airport might need you to take an RT-PCR test on arrival.

I received my first dose of Vaccine in India and 2 more doses in the USA. The 3rd dose was taken 5 days before my departure from USA. The Air Suvedha portal says I have to take the mandatory PCR test in Delhi since my last vaccine dose was within 15 days from the date of departure. Should I mention the fist dose as the “latest” dose in this case to get exemption from the PCR test?

Hi Rahul! The government of India considers when you took the last or latest dose. You will be considered partially-vaccinated. Partially-vaccinated travelers are subject to a self-paid RT-PCR test and 7-day home-quarantine in India.

Hi I am travelling from Dubai to Cochin. they are asking for seat no while filling Air Suvidha Self declaration form. If I write not assigned, will they accept it? kindly advice me on this.

Hi Lakshmi! You can try with ‘NA’.

I am travelling with my family from Dallas-USA to Chennai. Should I submit self-declaration form for each passenger or one per family (as the form asks for additional passenger details in the same form when I am filling mine).

Hi Vijay! You can submit a single self-declaration form with details of all the travelers.

Thanks! Should the RT-PCR certificate include the Passport number and Date of birth ? (Travelling USA to India)?

Error while uploading your RT-PCR negative certificate I am getting problem , when i submit AIR SUVIDHA FORM please give me any solution, tomorrow 19/11/2021 17:00 my flight. +971547273234

Hi Rohit! Please be advised to contact the helpline number of Delhi International Airport.

Hi Indian Eagle

Two questions

I am travelling to Mumbai via London on Virgin and will have our 1 year old with us

1) I have read RT PCR test is not required for children less than 2 – so wanted to confirm with you that and also will that pose any problems on air suvidha

2) Regarding air suvidha – how does that since it says to fill the form within 72 hours of departure. Can i fill the form and take the negative rt pcr tests results for me along with me or does it have to be uploaded.

Hi Varun! Asymptomatic kids below 5 years of age are exempted from COVID-19 testing before and after arrival in India. Make sure to upload your kid’s passport copy (as his/her age proof) while filling out his/her details as a co-traveler in the self-declaration form on Air Suvidha. It is mandatory to upload the negative RT-PCR test reports alongside filling out a self-declaration form on Air Suvidha any time within 72 hours prior to your scheduled departure.

Please ensure that the file name of RT PCR test certificate does not contain any special character and space

Hi, we are travelling with 7 year and 1 year old kids. I found out that since last week Indian Govt waived RTPCR testing requirement for kids under 5…is it verified? how do i submit air suvidha form for my 1 year old who don’t have vaccination or rtpcr test report? also generally how long it takes to update the status after we submit the air suvidha form?

Hi Joshi! It is right. Starting on NOV 12, 2021, asymptomatic kids under 5 years of age are exempted from taking an RT-PCR test before and after arrival in India. While filling out the self-declaration form with co-passenger details under – How many passengers are traveling? – you will be asked to upload your kids’ passport copies. The passport copy of the one-year-old will be his/her age proof, on the basis of which the kid will be exempted from taking an RT-PCR test.

Hi What is the procedure to amend information on Air Suvidha if a mistake has been made while filling in the information

Hi Charan! There is a drop-down menu under ‘Air Suvidha’ in the right hand corner of this page https://www.newdelhiairport.in/airsuvidha/apho-registration . The drop-down menu includes ‘Edit Self-declaration form.’

What is the Final Destination Pincode that is required on the entry form?

Hi Yasmin! Every neighborhood in India has a unique Pincode (postal index number code). The pincode for Delhi starts with 110001.

Can one upload documentation of recovery from covid-19 to air suvidha portal? I know of someone who just recovered from COVID but they have to travel after 2 weeks. Their isolation has ended but I understand their RT-PCR test still might show a positive result. How does one deal with this? CDC in the US allows one to travel if one shows documentation of recovery from COVID from a licensed health officer along with other documents.

Hi Nitai! There is no provision on Air Suvidha to upload a document of recovery from COVID-19.

Hi, I am travelling to India after 8 days. I’ve two questions:

1. I had COVID 3 weeks ago. Do I still need a PCR test? As per CDC guidelines, having COVID in last 90 days won’t need PCR test so confirming.

2. My father had COVID 3 weeks ago and is symptom free but for some reason he still getting +ve result. As per CDC he is not contagious. Is he allowed to travel to India if gets +ve one more time before travel with any proof?

Hi Yogesh, Were you able to identify a solution?

Hello Indian Eagle,

To add to my previous question. If I have two legs:

SEA-DXB on Emirates EK 230 (20 December, arriving in Dubai 21 December) DXB-CCU on IndiGo 6E 28 (22 December morning)

Would I need to test prior to the first leg or the second leg? Also which leg would I enter into Air Suvidha? In addition, I saw something on a site that says you need testing in your country of origin. Is that true?

Thanks! Neelanjan

Hi Neelanjan! You should take an RT-PCR test and upload a negative report on Air Suvidha within 72 hours prior to the first leg of the itinerary. You can enter details of the first leg. Your country of origin means the place you will start traveling. It means that you will take an RT-PCR test in Seattle.

HI Can I get a regular PCR test or is it specifically an RT-PCR test that is required? It is not an antigen test. Thank you

Hi Penny! May we know whether you are traveling to or from India?

Hi, I am traveling with my family (wife and son). Had 2 questions?

1. The Air Suvidha form allows you to add additional passengers which I did. However, when I got the PDF in email it only had 1 SR number for all three of us on the same form. Do I need to fill separate forms for each to get individual SR numbers?

2. My son is 4 years so I am assuming I can leave the covid test upload field and vaccination card field blank as based on what I hear he is exempt.

Hi Swarup! No need to fill a separate self-declaration form for each of you if all of you have the same PNR. Yes, he is exempted from taking an RT-PCR test and vaccination is not mandatory for minors.

We have booster shot on 11th June and arriving at Delhi from US on on 26th which is 15th day. Now its asking to book the PCR test as last shot was taken less then 15 days. should we put original date of 2nd shot or booster shot date in the vaccination record date? if PCR test shows for 8-10 hours do we need to stay at Delhi airport for 10 hours or we can go to next flight

HI Anurag! You will be able to proceed for the connecting domestic flight after giving your swab sample for a test at Delhi Airport. Please note you will also be subject to 14-day home quarantine.

I cannot get a seat number until i check-in. Travelling from London to Delhi

Can I put “not assigned” on the declaration form?

HI Sarah! You can fill out the self-declaration form after web check-in.

As per latest guidelines from MoFW ( https://www.mohfw.gov.in/pdf/GuidelinesforInternationalArrival11thNovember2021.pdf ), asymptotic children under 5 years are exempted from taking pre and post RT-PCR test enroute to India.

But while filling Air Suvidha form, even after entering child’s date of birth, Date of RT-PCR test field remains mandatory with asterisk (*) mark. Not sure if we can submit the form without filling out RT-PCR test date for the child below 5 years.

Hi Arvind! No problem. There is provision to upload your child’s passport copy.

If I fly from the US and stay several days in France before going to India, do I list the US as the country of origin or do I list France?

Hi EM! Here the country of origin means the country of travel origin. If you have a separate ticket for for the flight from France to India, you should count France as the country of your travel origin.

I have filled one form for my wife and I as we are travelling together. Is that correct? Or does she need to fill in separate form?

Hi Praful! If both of you have the same PNR, don’t need to fill out two separate forms on Air Suvidha.

I am traveling from Boston -> Mumbai (Via Doha connecting flight) and from Mumbai I am traveling to Surat by train on the same day.

I have couple of question regarding some of the fields in air suvidha

1) what should be the country of departure (origin ) field?

It should be Boston(USA) or Doha(Qatar)?

2) I am traveling from Mumbai to Surat by train, so I don’t need to fill domestic flight field, right?

3) I will go from Mumbai to Surat by Train, I have booked my Train ticket, I am allowed to travel by train right?

Hi Chirag! Boston, USA is your country of departure or travel origin. No need to provide details of your domestic travel. If you are fully-vaccinated and if you are found asymptomatic in thermal screening at Mumbai Airport, you will be allowed to exit the airport and proceed for domestic travel. Wish you safe and happy travel!

Can you please clarify the following for me:

I am travelling USA – Frankfurt(Germany) – Cairo (Egypt) – Muscat (Oman – Vijayawada (India).

(1) I am OCI card holder. Since I am travelling not direct from USA to India, will I be denied entry to india upon arrival at Vijayawada airport? (2) I am transiting via Europe (Frankfurt), am I required to take RT-PCR test at Vijayawada and if so does Vijayawada have RT-PCR test facility?

We are supposed to download Air Suvidha App on mobile as well. However, I cannot register on my phone using an international contact number. How am I supposed to register on my phone then? Please help.

Hi Setu! The government of India requires you to disclose your travel history to check whether you have been to any high-risk country, such South Africa, Botswana, or Zimbabwe in the past 15 days. Fortunately, Canada is not among the countries at risk.

Hi, I am travelling from Chicago-Frankfurt-Delhi. Does transiting through Germany puts me in the at-risk category and have to go through the mandatory PCR testing at Delhi airport?

Hi Ankit! If you don’t leave the immigration area during transit at Frankfurt Airport and if you are found asymptomatic in thermal screening on arrival, you won’t be considered in the at-risk category. Please note only 2% of the total passengers of every flight carrying people from a country not at risk will be randomly tested on arrival. If you are identified among the 2% for random testing, your swab sample will be collected before you leave the airport.

Traveling from chicago-Dubai-Ahemdabad on emirates. I am oci holder. Some people are not vaccinated, so what do we do for uploading vaccination certification. I will have covid test done before 72 hours of my flight. But i am confused about vaccination.

Hi Nayan! Travel to India does not require vaccination for children and teens below 18 years of age. Even for adults above 18 years of age, vaccination is not mandatory for traveling to India. As per the rules, unvaccinated travelers will have to take a paid RT-PCR test on arrival in India. If detected negative, they will undergo home quarantine for 7 days.

We are traveling through British Air from Boston to Bangalore. We will only be transiting at the London airport. Are we considered at-risk country or since we are originating from USA, considered not at risk country in Bangalore airport for the new protocols of mandatory testing.

Hi Matt! As of now, you won’t be considered a high-risk arrival if you don’t leave the immigration area of London airport during transit and if you arrive asymptomatic in at an entry airport in India. Please note only 2% of the total passengers arriving from a country not at risk will be randomly tested on arrival. If you are counted among the 2%, your swab sample will be collected before you leave BLR Airport.

Please let us know your experience for the London Transit. We are traveling JFK-Heathrow-Delhi as well end of this month. Your experience will be very helpful.

My wife and I are traveling NY to DEL with our 2-month old infant. Do I need to submit Air Suvidhaa for the infant? The form says RT PCR upload is mandatory despite kids under 5 not requiring a test. How do I submit Air suvidhaa for him without uploading the test result? thanks

Hi AK! The infant is a traveler too. You must provide the infant’s details in the self-declaration form and upload a copy of his/her passport that will help verify the age.

Should I submit separate air suvidha forms for my wife, my kid and me or can I enter all details in one form, including my family in the co-passenger section of the form?

Hi CJ! If all of you have the same PNR, you can furnish the details of all the travelers in one form.

I am planning to travel from Washington to Hyderabad in January. I will be flying on Emirates from Washington to Duabi on Januray 7th. I plan to stopover in Dubai for 10 days before continuing on to Hyderabad. So, my question is – When should I fill the Air Suvidha form? IT says that I should fill it 72 hours before my journey.

Do I fill the Air Suvidha form on January 6th (day before I levae the USA)? Can I update the Air Suvidha form on January 17th after I take another PCR test in Dubai – prior to boarding the flight to Hyderabad on January 17th? Thanks.

Hi Krishna! You need to upload a negative RT-PCR report and fill out a self-declaration form twice on Air Suvidha within 72 hours prior to traveling from the USA and traveling from Doha.

I have a domestic flight tomorrow morning at 11 am and connecting international (Newyork-Doha-Chennai )starting at 9 pm in the night. Is it ok if I upload RTPCR results just before the international flight boarding or will it be asked in Domestic airline boarding as well? Thanks.

Hi Lalita! The negative RT-PCR report may be asked or not at the time of boarding a domestic flight in the US

What is the PNR Number? I assume the ticket number is the PNR number. Can you please confirm?

Hi Miku! In our knowledge, the PNR number and the ticket number are not the same.

I posted a question 5days back . ITS NOT BEEN ANSWERED TILL YET.

Wanted to enquire- How can someone upload negative PCR if they tested positive for covid 2 weeks ago. They are fully recovered now, and are fit to travel after their official isolation period is ended now. But our doctor said, their RT PCR test might be positive for next 3 months, so in their case , negative PCR shd not be the criteria to travel.

PLEASE CLARIFY

Do we need to mention the address as in Passport or the hotel address as we plan to stay during vacation for 15 days after our reach of destination.

Regards Ashu

Hi Ashu! You should provide details of the place where you will be staying on arrival in India.

I am planning a travel tomorrow on 1st Jan from Boston > EWR > New Delhi. After I filled my Air Suvidha form and hot submit, I received a confirmation email with some other passengers details. Same thing happened when I filled the form again using another email address (this time a new passengers air suvidha confirmation form). I still don’t have my own firm. I need it to board the flight. Anybody else faced this issue? Not sure who should I contact.

Hi I am flying DETROIT-PARIS-CHENNAI. what is the latest Covid Test requirement transiting thru Paris, in high risk country?

Our friends flew US (Orlando) – FRANKFURT – BANGALORE were asked to take Covid testing since they flew trhtu FRANKFURT, in high risk country

Your website says NOT NEEDED as long as stayed within immigration area in the airport.. The rules are confusing. Please clarify

Hi Kasi! There are various scenarios wherein an international traveler is likely to be tested on arrival – if he/she is found symptomatic in thermal screening; if she/he is identified among the 2% of total passengers of every incoming flight for random testing; if he/she is among the close contacts or a co-traveler of someone who tests positive on arrival.

Please let us know your experience when you travel. I am in the same situation as yours. How do the airport authorities identify that you just transited and not visited the at risk countries

Hi, I am going to travel with my daughter who is 8 years old from Adelaide to Delhi. My daughter is unvaccinated as Australia is only starting vaccination for under 12 year old’s after our flight date. I have couple of questions in relation to this.

1) Air Suvidha requires vaccination certificate to be uploaded. What should I upload as my daughter is unvaccinated and it is mandatory requirement? 2) My daughter will get RT-PCR test done within 72 hours of boarding the flight. However does she need to take another test after landing at Delhi Airport?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Rahul! Vaccination proof is not a mandatory requirement for children flying in from abroad. Make sure to upload a copy of her passport in the self-declaration form for age verification. She is not required to take a post-arrival test unless she is found symptomatic in thermal screening or among the 2% of international arrivals from a country not at risk. FYI, 2% of the total passenger of every flight arriving from a country not at risk will be randomly tested.

Hi, I am travelling from Chicago-Delhi-Vadodara on 13th of Jan via Air India. Has any traveling requirements changed recently from USA to India? i.e. Negative COVID-19 test within 72 h, quarantine requirement, COVID test at Delhi airport on arrival I would appreciate if you can shine any information on that front.

Thanks, Mayur

Hi Mayurbhai! You are required to upload a negative RT-PCR report, vaccine proof and fill out a self-declaration form on Air Suvidha. As you are traveling on a nonstop flight to Delhi from USA (the country that India has not yet put on the at-risk list), you are exempt to post-arrival testing at Delhi Airport and home-quarantine. If you are found symptomatic in thermal screening at Delhi Airport, your swab will be collected for a COVID-19 test. Make sure to carry the original negative COVID report, the vaccine proof, and a few color printouts of the PDF that you will receive to the registered email ID on submission of the self-declaration form.

Hello I am traveling from ORD to BOM on Jan 18th I have to renew my passport as it will expire in less than 6 months of my travel date, to be exact it will expire in 5 months and 28 days. The US Passport agency has given me an appointment for 18th morning only. It will take 4 hours to get the passport from the agency, they said. I can upload all needed information to Air Suvidha only after I get my new passport. Will I have enough time to print the confirmation from Air Suvidha?

Hi Shreyasi! It is recommended that you fill out the self-declaration form and upload a negative RT-PCR report as well as vaccine proof at least a few hours prior to traveling from ORD.

Can someone post their experience of just transiting via an AT RISK country ? What flight number, country of origin etc. was entered in the air suvidha form?

Hi Bint! There is no institutional quarantine for fully-vaccinated, COVID negative and asymptomatic travelers from the UK. There is only 7-day home quarantine.

Hi Bint! No exemption even if you are traveling with a kid under 10 years.

Thank you for the reply

You’re welcome! Wish you a safe and happy trip.

Hello, I plan to home quarantine in my home village when I arrive in India from the UK. However, when filling out Air Suvidha, it does not accept my pincode, even though I know it is correct and I have double checked with google. What should I do in this case?

Hi, Me and my husband recently recovered from COVID.

My father in law passed away last week and we are trying our best to fly but go no help in our case . Please let us know if we are exempted to travel

Hi Monisha! Unfortunately, there is no exemption from having a mandatory negative RT-PCR test report. Please be advised to contact the Indian Mission or the consular officer in your jurisdiction. Only that can help you out.

Same condition here. Rt pcr test positive even after 1 month of covid. There should be provision to travel with travel documents from a doctor saying we are fit to travel. RTpcr will test positive for 3 months. Even US accepts travel documents. Not sure why India cant do it.

When filling out air shuvidha form for children under 5, what do I need to upload under rt-pcr test results as children under 5 are exempt form pre arrival rt-pcr test.

Hi Jay! Please upload a copy of your child’s passport in the self-declaration form for age verification. Instead of filling out a new self-declaration form, provide details of your child as a co-traveler in your self-declaration form.

Thank you for your reply. If I am traveling with my wife and my child. Do we need to fill out separate self declaration form for all adults or we can fill one and list all passengers as co travellers

If all of you have the same PNR, you can list them as co-travelers in the self-declaration form on Air Suvidha.

Hi Rohit! Please be advised to call the helpline of Delhi Airport and check whether you can take 2-day stopover in Delhi before you travel to the final destination.

The new requirement for home quarantine for all travelers arriving in India started January 11, 2022. Does this mean if you do not have a home in India and are asymptomatic that you can quarantine at any you choose? Are there specific hotels you need to quarantine if vaccinated , COVID negative upon departure from home country. My family is fully vaccinated and boosted.

Hi Mike! If there is no residence in India, you can choose to self-quarantine at a hotel. Hotels are open to provide accommodation to international arrivals.

Hi Khaleeq! There might be some error. Please be advised to call the helpline number of Delhi International Airport.

I am a Canadian Citizen.

I am traveling from Toronto to Delhi on Air India and catching indigo flight on the next morning within 24 hrs. I will enter city of departure as Toronto, First Airport of Entry as Delhi, and Final destination address of my home in Giwahati, Assam .

Both flights booked separately in two different PNR as Air India and Indigo have no code share or alliance.

Question I have is:- 1) For the question Are you taking a domestic connection flight. Should I Say Yes and enter Indigo flight details? 2) Also do I need to fill another Air Suvidha form for Iindigo Airlines, or Air Suvidha form is for only internation passengers coming into India. And not for taking Domestic flights. 3) while my return journey back to Canada, will I have to again fill air Suvidha

Hi Parag! You can say ‘Yes’ and enter the details of your IndiGo itinerary. You are required to fill out a self-declaration form for your international itinerary only. Air Suvidha is only for those traveling to India, not for those flying out of India.

Can someone please tell me what the blue banner and the letter “R” on a completed Air Suvidha form means? Thank you

Hi, We can only submit airsuvidha form when we have a RT-PCR result ready, as it is a mandatory field ? And How long it will take to get the confirmation once airsuvidha submission is done ?

Hi Mithun! May we know where you are traveling from? If you are fully-vaccinated, you don’t need to upload the negative RT-PCR test result on Air Suvidha. If you wish, you can upload the negative report on Air Suvidha within 72 hours before traveling to India. On successful submission of a self-declaration form and your vaccine card/negative RT-PCR result, you will receive a PDF to the registered email ID. Make sure to take a few color printouts of the PDF.

I am travelling from USA to MUM on Etihad via Abu Dhabi ( 3hrs stop over at airport). I am full vaccinated. Please let me know if I need negative RT-PCR report to be uploaded to Air Suvidha or can I just upload vaccine record? Thanks for your help.

Hi Adi! In our knowledge, Etihad Airways still requires a negative RT-CPR test report even from fully-vaccinated travelers for transit via Abu Dhabi. Hence, be advised to get it confirmed by the airline too.

Hi I will be traveling with my daughter from Dubai to India on March 10. We are fully vaccinated and trying to upload the documents online but its asking for my daughter’s RTPCr test. She is not vaccinated. Alghough travel rules have changed, is it true that the kids rules are same ? Is that true that kids only below 5 years are exempted? She is 6 and since we don’t need RTPCR do we need to get her test done?

Hi Neelima! Unvaccinated children above 5 years of age need to take an RT-PCR test before traveling to India. If you were vaccinated India and issued the vaccination certificate by Indian government, you are not required to take any COVID-19 test. you can upload the vaccine certificate on Air Suvidha. If you were vaccinated in the UAE, you are required to take a pre-departure RT-PCR test because Indian government does not recognize the vaccine certificate issued by the UAE government.

Hi, I’m travelling to Trichy on 13/03/22. I’m fully vaccinated and not required to do a PCR pre-departure test as per government requirement. However, I have tried to submit the self-declaration form but failed because I did not submit a PCR test result. Have you all faced this problem?

Hi PSH! May we know where you are traveling to India from?

From Singapore to Trichy

Hi! Singapore being your travel origin, you are not required to take a pre-departure RT-PCR test. Make sure to carry and upload your vaccine certificate/card on Air Suvidha within 72 hours before traveling to India.

I feel very grateful that I read this. It is very helpful and very informative and I really learned a lot from it. I can also refer you to one of the Best Travel Chatbot in Hyderabad.

I have filled air suvidha form for myself and added my wife and kid as co-passenger. 1. Do I need to fill air suvidha form for my wife and kid again individually ? 2. My Kid is under 5 so I have not uploaded RT-PCR or vaccine record. is that fine? 3. I filled form 2 weeks before my flight departure. Is that ok or I need to fill it couple of days before flight departure time?

Hi Anil! You can fill out a single self-declaration form and add your family as co-passengers. It is fine not to upload a COVID-19 test report for your kid as kids under 5 years of age are exempted. You need to fill the form within 72 hours before traveling to India.

I’m travelling from London to Abu Dhabi and connecting another flight from Abu Dhabi to Ahmedabad.

I want to know what do I put down on the Air Suvida form for the following 2 points below:

Country of Departure (Origin) City of Departure

Hi John! Your country of departure is the UK/England and the city of departure is London.

Hi I am travelling to Kochi (COK) from Brisbane on Sri Lankan Airlines via Colombo on 5th April. I am fully vaccinated here in Australia and have an offical International Covid 19 Vaccination certificate with dates of vaccinations and QR code. I understand an RT-PCR test is not necessary for fully vaccinated travellers. Is this correct? If I am not required to provide an RT-PCR how early before travel can I upload the Air Suvidha form? Can I fill it now or does it have to be just before departure? Also I do not have an Indian mobile number since I reside in Australia. Can I give my parent’s mobile number?

Hi Mathew! No pre-departure RT-CPR test is not required. You can upload your vaccine certificate and fill out a self-declaration form on Air Suvidha within 72 hours before your international flight departure from Brisbane.

Thank you for your response. I understood that to be the case but when I tried that Air Suvidha kept asking for the RTPCR report even though I had already uploaded the vaccination certificate. It would not permit me to submit the form without uploading the RTPCR.

Hi Mathew, were you able to resolve the issue, I am having same issue, I am traveling from US to New Delhi is two days time….Thanks for your response

Hello, I am unable to submit a form on Air Suvidha portal, I am a fully vaccinated passenger coming on United Airlines in 3 days (my last booster vaccine was done in Dec 2021), It keeps asking me for RT PCR report, should I load the vaccine card info for RTPCR? I am afraid I may not be allowed to board the flight without this submission We have made three attempts, myself and both my children tried from their computers, I am a US Citizen, and we are unable to submit and comes back with please load RTPCR document… Please advise Thanks

Hi Padma! We understand how important it is to upload the vaccine card and fill out a self-declaration form on Air Suvidha (within 72 hours before your international flight from the US). Please be advised to call the helpline of Delhi International Airport. You will surely get guidance.

Hello – I am travelling from USA to Delhi and it seems we can fill out the AIR Suvidha form anytime before boarding. Does the 72 hour limit still apply? I am fully vaccinated. Appreciate your response. Thanks

Hi DS! You can fill out the self-declaration form and upload your vaccine certificate on Air Suvidha any time within 72 hours before boarding.

Thank you for your prompt response! Perhaps a silly question but does it really matter if I just upload the Bio page of the passport? Am I supposed to upload a complete copy of the passport? I do not think but the instructions on passport upload are not detailed enough. Thanks

hi , I am bishal from Bangladesh. i booked my international flight from Dhaka to Kolkata. From Kolkata have also booked domestic flight from Kolkata to Bengaluru. In that case should i select yes for connecting domestic flight? Also please suggest what should i fill in final destination on air subidha, Either it will be Kolkata or Bengaluru, if Bengaluru then how can i fill the “final destination pin Code”. Please advise.

Hi Bishal! Bengaluru is your final destination. You need to mention Bengaluru on Air Suvidha.

I am planning to travel to India from Taiwan during March End. I was tested positive for COVID on Month of January. I have recovered completely and my doctor and Taiwan Govt has cleared me for traveling. Because I had COVID before, there is a chance that the test will come out as positive because of the dead virus in my body. I do not have any symptoms and not contagious. I have completed the isolation in January and recovered. I am fully vaccinated with AstraZeneca in 2021. In this case, is there some additional documentation that I can give so that I will be allowed to travel to Bengaluru, India. Please advise! Thank you so much for your time!

Hi Hencilla! People from Taiwan must have a negative RT-PCR test report for entry to India though they are fully-vaccinated.

Hello! I am travelling to Bangalore and I will be staying in a hotel for a week and then moving to a different house. So how do I go about this in the airsuvidha form?

Hi John! You can provide the address of your house in the Air Suvidha form, regardless of where you will be staying after arrival.

Hi, I am staying in Singapore and going to travel from Singapore to Mumbai and in the Air Suvidha form, they have this information to be submitted “Details of the Countries visited in last 14 days?” Kindly let me know what should I mention here – Should I keep it None or Select Singapore here?

Regards, Anand

Hi Anand! If you have been to any country other than Singapore, the country of your residence, in the past 14 days, you can mention there. Otherwise, you can write ‘None’.

Hi indianeagle How much time does it take to be application successful after decalration submission.

Hi Shalini! It takes a few hours if there is no technical glitch in an unfortunate case.

Hi, We are travelling from SFO on 31st March, reaching Dubai on 1st April. We are staying in Dubai for 1 day. We are travelling from Dubai on 3rd April to Hyderabad.

When should we upload negative RT-PCR test: Before starting at SFO or before starting at Dubai or do we need to fill 2 Air Suvidha forms for each leg?

Regards, Rakesh

Hi Rakesh! Do you have two separate tickets or PNRs? One for the flight from USA to Dubai and one for the flight from Dubai to India? If yes, you can fill out only one self-declaration form on Air Suvidha providing details of your travel from Dubai to Hyderabad before your flight from Dubai.

I will be traveling to Mumbai on the 3rd of April with my 10-month-old Son from Germany. Does he need to do a PCR test 72 hours before the departure and fill up the Air Suvidha as well? He doesn’t have a vaccination certificate as he is too small for it.

Hi Mitesh! Kids under 5 years of age are exempted from taking an RT-PCR test before travel to and after arrival in India. Do make sure to upload a copy of your son’s passport on Air Suvidha and provide his details as a co-traveler in the same self-declaration form.

I am travelling to Delhi from Sydney on 10th April on a direct flight.

As negative RT-PCR is not required now, and I am fully vaccinated. Can i fill the form on Air Suvidha portal, for example on 5th April or need to do 72 hours prior to boarding only?

Kindly Suggest.

Hi Varun! You are required to fill out the self-declaration form on Air Suvidha within 72 hours before your international flight from Sydney.

I am traveling with my wife and 4 year old son from Washington DC to Delhi on April 11. We both are vaccinated and he is under 5. So I believe I can just upload our CDC US vaccination cards. These CDC vaccine cards given in US have hand written info on type, and date of vaccination. Are these cards valid for uploading or we need some special documentation.

Hi Prithusundd! The handwritten vaccine cards issued by CDC are accepted on Air Suvidha and on arrival in India. You can also get a proper certificate by entering your vaccine details on Vsafe.cdc.gov.

I am traveling from San francisco USA to Dubai and then to Mumbai on 3rd April 2022. I have 3 questions :-

1. Myself and my wife took vaccination till booster shot recently so do we required any negative RT-PCR test currently

2. Did air suvidha form is individual basis for each one. As I have 2 daughters as well. One of them is less than 5 years of age. Did I need to have airsuvidha form for her as well. 3. Also the last question in air suvidha form is how many passengers are travelling so i need to include saying other members as 4 count or just my individual

Hi Salil! If your departure from SFO is after minimum 15 days of your complete vaccine schedule, you need not take an RT-PCR test. You can simply upload a copy of your vaccine card on Air Suvidha. If all of you are traveling with the same PNR, you can add them as co-travelers in your self-declaration form on Air Suvidha.

Hello there I cannot select last visited country on air suvidha none of the selection can can be selected from the list of countries

What does a full vaccination completion certificate means? Is it the first two shots of covid? Or including the booster?

Hi Ansley! Only the two shots of a double-dose vaccine or one shot of a single-dose vaccine like Jansen counts for a full/complete vaccination program/schedule.

Also, we received our vaccinations sometime in May of 2021, does that still hold valid to upload in Air suvidha form?

Hi Ansley! It is still valid.

Hi, i’m leaving india for turkey, do i need (for indian airport authorities, a air suvidha form or any other ?

Hi Alexia! Air Suvidha is only for those traveling to India, not for those traveling out of India.

Are digital vaccine card from US accepted by Airsuvidha and upon arrival at Delhi?

Hi Saurabh! It is accepted; we do still recommend travelers to carry a hardcopy since it is very convenient to show the vaccine card whenever demanded during the journey.

Hi Sanju! You, except both the children (as they are under 5), can upload your vaccination card/certificate on Air Suvidha and fill out a self-declaration form on Air Suvidha within 72 hours before traveling to India from Dubai. If not vaccinated, you need to take an RT-PCR test.

Hi JF! You must upload a copy of your vaccine card/certificate on Air Suvidha while filling out a self-declaration form.

I’m fully vaccinated as well. When filling the air suvidha form, I have uploaded the vaccine certificate. When I click submit, it asked for RT-PCR certificate as mandatory.

What to enter for date as without this its not allowing to submit the form? Thanks in advance.

Thank you in advance for your help. I am travelling from DFW to Chennai via Paris.

I tried the access the TN portal for e-pass but it looks like not in operation, do we need to take e-pass? Also, do we need to do Air Suvidha for self-declaration?

The TN e-Pass/e-Registration portal is not operational now

Hi Suresh! Being fully-vaccinated, you don’t need to take an RT-PCR test before departure or after arrival. Make sure to upload a copy of your vaccine card and fill out a self-declaration form on Air Suvidha. Do also carry the original vaccine card.

So my question is this :- Can I fill AirSuvidha form for my arrival back in India in Nov 2022, even before I have departed from India in May 2022?

Hi Snehal! You are required to fill out a self-declaration form on Air Suvidha not more than 72 hours before your scheduled international travel to India.

Hi! I’m flying from Boston to Mumbai on the 15th of May with a layover in Paris ( BOS – CDG – BOM) – which flight should I be considering when filling in the following sections on the form: flight number, seat number, and country of departure. Additionally – what about the ‘Details of the Countries visited in last 14 days?*’ field – I haven’t been outside the US in the last 14 days but would I still be filling France as one of the countries visited? Last – I’m not sure what France’s agreement with India is, but I am fully vaccinated and plan on uploading proof of vaccination and skipping the pre-departure RT-PCR test, would that work?

Hi, Thank you for helping with this. I have two questions: Do we need to scan both sides of the passport for the air suvidha form? and Do we need to fill the form for a 6 month old baby who has no seats assigned? If so, should I simply write 00 in seat number?

Thank you Ritwiza

Hi Ritwiza! You can provide details of your 6-month old baby as a co-traveler in your self-declaration form. Be advised to call the helpline of Delhi International Airport for other two queries.

We don’t know which seat number will be assign to us in Germany so how do i enter those info on website prior to departure? Any advice will be greatly appreciated !

Hi Anil! Kindly be advised to call the helpline of Delhi IGI Airport regarding the queries related to Air Suvidha.

Hi.. Came to US for a short trip from India with Family. My 7 year old (not vaccinated) turned out to be positive in RT PCR test right when we tested her for travel about a week back. She seems to be asymptomatic and we have finished our isolation period. But we are adviced that the RTPCR test might be positive for 90 days even though she might not carry it. We have to return to India. Can you advice how to handle the situation? Its urgent. Also has anyone got their RT PCR test negative after tested positive within 2 weeks? Please advice.

Hi Maha! Unvaccinated travelers to India above 5 years of age must have a negative RT-PCR test report, according to the government of India. Kindly be advised to call the helpline of Delhi International Airport who controls the Air Suvidha portal.

Hi, I have filled air suvidha form. But have a doubt. I have come to US from India and returning back to India from Boston USA to Mumbai. I have filled country of origin US. Is it correct? City of origin Mumbai. Correct?If not then what to do now. Form already submitted. Please guide.

Hi Mahesh! Your country of travel origin is USA and your city of travel origin is Boston. You can edit the form once.

Hi there, I’m travelling from Australia to Singapore and then to Delhi. I’ve been fully vaccinated and I’ve completed my Air Suvidha form. There appears to be some conflicting information on various Indian travel websites so I just wanted to confirm that I don’t require a pre-departure PCR test and I don’t need to isolate / quarantine? Thanks Jason

Hi Jason! Being fully-vaccinated and having uploaded a copy of your vaccination card/certificate, you don’t need a pre-departure RT-PCR test. The government of India has done away with the quarantine policy for international arrivals. If you are found symptomatic of COVID19 during thermal screening or if you test positive in random testing at the airport (which is rare), you may be directed to stay in isolation.

Might seem a silly question – I don’t have a connecting flight, but I have spending a couple of days in Bangalore, then a couple in Madurai, before exiting from Bangalore.

For “Final Destination” on the Air Suvidha form, should I just use my first lot of accommodation in Bangalore?

Hi AK! In this case, you can mention Bangalore as your final destination.

I have travel coming up in 2 days. Trying to fill up the air suvidha self registration form, but am unable to enter Pin code for Bengaluru. Its says pin code not found. Whats the work around.

My travel is SFO/Delhi/BLR

Hi Murali! Be advised to call the helpline of Delhi IGI Airport who controls the Air Suvidha portal.

hi, myself and my wife are Indian nationals and returning from US after 25 days of vacation. We both are fully vaccinated. Do we still need to pay fees of $65/person. Please revert

Hi Deepak! What fee are you referring to?

I am travelling on 7th June. I just submitted the self-declaration form. After submitting it, I got a message telling me to download or print it but not providing any link. I have not received an email either. Should I just wait for the email? Or is there a way to download or print it now?

Hi Ruth! On successful submission of the form, you are supposed to receive a mail carrying a PDF as attachment to the registered email ID. You are required to take a few color printouts of the PDF. If you have not received this, you can call the helpline of Delhi IGI Airport.

Hello, We are traveling from RDU (Raleigh, USA) to Bombay via Frankfurt (Germany).

We are residents of the US and fully vaccinated in the US. We are assuming our Country of Departure (Origin) is the US and therefore we don’t need to take the RT PCR testing before 72 hrs.? Am I correct?

My question is coming because Germany is not on the list of ‘countries/Regions in respect of which primary vaccination schedule completion certificate is allowed to be uploaded’. Our last Flight arriving in India is from Germany. We will be spending 5 hours at Frankfurt airport during this trip.

Any input is appreciated!

Hi Aruna! Being fully-vaccinated, you are exempt to taking a pre-departure or a post-arrival RT-PCR test. You will be traveling via Germany, not starting your travel from Germany itself. Hope you won’t step out of the airside at Frankfurt Airport.

Hello, We have a first flight from Poland (Krakow) to UAE (Abu Dhabi) – one reservation number and second flight UAE (Abu Dhabi to India (Delhi) – second reservation number, different airlines. 1. Is our Country of Departure ( Origin ) UAE or Poland? 2. Is our City of Departure Abu Dhabi or Krakow? 3. Is our connecting Domestic flight a flight from Poland to UAE or none? We will not be staying in Abu Dhabi, only at the airport (transit). Please help!

Hi Ana! Your country of departure/origin is Poland and the city of departure is Krakow. If Delhi is your final destination in India, it means that you don’t have a connecting domestic flight within India.

Hello, we are 3 of us traveling to India – myself, my wife and minor child. Should I fill the Air Suvidha Self Declaration Form just once and add my wife’s and child’s details as Co-Passengers (by selecting ‘2’ for the question ‘How many passengers are travelling?’) Or, should I fill a separate form for each of us? If we fill just one form for the entire family, will each one of us receive a separate acknowledgment?

Hi Siva! If three of you are on the same PNR/ticket, you can add them as co-passengers. It will relieve you of the hassles of filling out a separate form of each of you.

Hello. First of all I want to say thank you to you because the answers provided here cover almost everything. My question : My ticket is booked from Washington DC – Frankfurt – New Delhi. I myself separately booked for New Delhi – Ranchi. This will be a separate boarding pass. What should I answer to “Are you takiang a connecting Domestic flight?*” The doubt is because it will be a different PNR and Boarding Pass.

Hi Rohit! Yes, you can write in the Air Suvidha form that you will take a connecting domestic flight after your arrival at Delhi Airport.

IndianEagle,

Thanks for all the answers. They are helpful. I have a few questions. Please address. 1. I am flying with a separate ticket from NYC to DEL and then connecting flight to Chennai – all with a single PNR, single ticket. I believe I need to fill out Air-Suvidha once only. Please confirm. 2. HOw confidential the details are maintained, such as the date of birth, etc in Air-suvidha?. They are very sensitive information and I hope they are secured well with air-suvidha. Thanks.

Hi Akshay! You are required to fill the self-declaration form on Air Suvidha and upload your vaccine card/certificate on Air Suvidha within 72 hours before your international flight from NYC. We have little knowledge of how travelers’ sensitive information is protected on Air Suvidha. Be advised to call the helpline of Delhi International Airport.

after submitted the self declaration form with a wrong flight number. After opening the submitted form again for editing. I get following error “Flight number / tail number should be of minimum 4 to maximum 6 characters, without space or special characters and a combination of Alphabets and Numbers. Example : AZ123 or AZ1234.”

My flight number is VTI026. Can someone help? Even re-submitting the form with the initial flight number VXF58A is not working. Seems there is a bug when someone wants to edit a form and re-submit it.

Hi Lihas! Kindly be advised to call the helpline of New Delhi IGI Airport regarding any issue with Air Suvidha.

Stupid website. I am getting the same error.

What if I am not staying with my relatives but in different hotels? They are meeting me in Delhi. They are asking for final destination but I am travelling through and not staying in one place.

Hi Mayank! You can provide the details of your first accommodation/stay in Delhi.

Hi, I am arriving to Bombay on Thursday and then taking a flight a couple of hours later to Bangkok. Do I have to fill in this form? If yes, what should I put when they ask for my address in India? Thanks

Hi Pedro! You can mention Bangkok as your final destination. However, be advised to check this page for any query related to Air Suvidha.

Hi Pedro, i might have same problem, transit in Delhi to BKK, how did you solve this address?

HI, we are travelling from Germany to Dubai and then to Chennai. We will stay for 2 days in Dubai, do we need to mention as country visited last 14 days ? Germany and UAE (Dubai) is part of the list of “List of Countries/Regions in respect of which primary vaccination schedule completion certificate is allowed to be uploaded”, do we need to take a PCR test from Dubai ? France is not part of that list, people coming from France, do they need to take the PCR test from Dubai? We are fully vaccinated except our kid (8 years). Do he need to take PCR test, and if yes, he can just upload before departure. Can we upload once arrived to Chennai ?

Hi Tharany! As per the regulations, you need to fill out the self-declaration form with your travel history and other details on Air Suvidha within 72 hours before your first international flight. It means that you will fill out the Air Suvidha form and upload your vaccine card/certificate before traveling from Germany to Dubai. Hence, you may not mention Dubai in your travel history. Even fully-vaccinated travelers from Dubai are not required to take a pre-arrival RT-PCR test. If you are traveling from France (country of travel origin), you need to take an RT-PCR test.

The 8-year-old should take an RT-PCR test before the first international departure from Germany.

He does have COVID vaccine card which has mentioned his two does administered details. Can I upload his UK COVID vaccine card in Air Suvidha self declaration form? or should he needs to get a PCR test even though he is fully vaccinated?

Hi Sanjay! Be advised to upload your son’s COVID vaccine card on Air Suvidha (within 72 hours before your international departure from the UK). If it gets through, there is no need to take an RT-PCR test. If it is not accepted, you can call the helpline of Delhi International Airport (they manage the Air Suvidha portal) and check with them.

Thank you indianeagle. Another issue I have for my son, last dose of vaccine was administered on 09/07/22 and his flight is on 22/07/22. This makes 13 days completed after second dose.

I am arriving in India on 8 Feb from Los Angeles via SQ ( Singapore Airlines) . I am only in transit in Singapore, do I need to have an RT- PCR test done 72 hours before departure. I am fully vaccinated and boosted. Thank you for your help. Sunita

Hi Sunita! The GOVN of India has made RT-PCR testing and Air Suvidha form mandatory for those transiting through the six high-risk countries including Singapore. If this remains unchanged by the time you will travel, you will have to take an RT-PCR test within 72 hours before you travel from LAX and fill out a self-declaration form on Air Suvidha.

In regards to the latest Covid changes for inbound travellers to India, kindly help with my below query. I will soon be taking a flight from Sydney to Thailand, then Thailand to India. Both these tickets are with separate airlines, such that I will need to exit from Thailand airport, after collecting my luggage, and then immediately re-enter into the airport. The “transit” time will be 6 hours totally in Thailand.

It is not possible for me to get RTPCR done within 6 hours in Thailand. So will it be ok if I get the RTPCR done in Australia itself, ensuring it is done within 72 hours of departure of the tail flight from Thailand? Will there be a problem at any of the airports?

Hi Sunit! According to the guidelines, you should take an RT-PCR test within 72 hours before your departure from the country of travel origin. Australia is the country of your travel origin.

I am connecting through Delhi flying Thai Airlines into Delhi and connecting to Air India to JFK. If I am just connecting through I don’t need to fill out the form or take the RFP r test correct?

Hello , i am flying from canada to india direct flight with 8 year old kids. I am fully vaccinated but my son is not. Do we need to fill airsuvidha? does my son require negative PCR test?

Hi Sukhpreet! Only those traveling from or transiting through the high-risk countries are required to fill an Air Suvidha form and submit a negative RT-PCR test. Neither vaccination nor RT-PCR testing is mandatory for travelers from non-risk countries including Canada. But the government of India recommends full-vaccination. In our opinion, you son can travel to India.

Hi, I have a query regarding RTPCR test, could you please hlep me? I am flying from New Zealand on 11th February 8 p.m to Singapore, then Singapore to India. It’s mentioned the Test should have been conducted within 72 hours of undertaking the journey to India. Does that mean before 72 hours of travelling from the origin country or within 72 hours? I should get tested on 9th February or 8th February? Sorry it’s just confusing that whether it should be 3 days before travelling?

Thanks in advance

Hi Neha! As per the guidelines, you are required to take an RT-PCR test within 72 hours before your journey from New Zealand.

Hi, Need clarity on the RTPCR mandatory test requirement for Traveling to India.

We are traveling to India via Singapore next month. Does the ask for RTPCR negative test requirement (within 72 hours) apply from the start date of travel from the US; or from Singapore to India? Since we are staying 4 nights in Singapore.

Just wanted to be sure about when the “countdown of 72 hours will start”?

Appreciate your response. Thank you

Hi Sujata! Given your 4-night stay in Singapore, you need to take an RT-PCR test within 72 hours before your flight to India from Singapore and upload the negative report on Air Suvidha.

Need some clarity on the Air Suvidha declaration form. What is the final destination pin code? Is that the postal code of where you will be staying? Also, if I’m flying into Bangalore and flying out from Chennai, is my final destination going to be my hotel in Bangalore or hotel in Chennai?

Hi Daren! Chennai is your final destination if you take a connecting domestic flight to Chennai after arrival at BLR Airport. Chennai is not the final destination in your itinerary, if you travel to Chennai after a short/long stay in Bangalore.

Thanks v much for your response. Can I know what is final destination PIN code then? What does it refer to?

Hello, Namaste/Vanakkam ! I am travelling from USA to India(BLR) via Paris this week (First week of February 2023). (1) Do I need to submit ‘Air Suvidha Form’?

Hello Indian Eagle, I’m traveling from San Francisco to Bangalore via Singapore on Singapore Airlines. Is Air Suvidha still required since Singapore is one of the high-risk countries? The Air Suvidha is not accessible on https://www.newdelhiairport.in/ website anymore.

Hi Naveen! Air Suvidha registration is not required. You can travel to India via Europe, Singapore, and the Middle East without the Air Suvidha form and the pre-departure testing.

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.

Air Suvidha Exemption Form

The Air Suvidha exemption form was discontinued way back . However, now, even the Air Suvidha form has been discontinued.

Disclaimer – Any information below this point is OUTDATED and kept only for curious passengers.

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-

Open Air Suvidha Portal

Fill in the following details –

Full Name (as per your passport)
Flight Number (Arriving in India) Ex: AZ123 / AZ1234

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.

Hello Siva ji,

Your wife wouldn’t need to fill out the Air Suvidha form as it has been discontinued. Hope this helps! 🙂

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 ?

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! 🙂

Why scrapping Air Suvidha will provide relief to passengers travelling to India

The abolition of the air suvidha mandate is in sync with the times; covid-19 has entered an endemic stage mainly on the back of vaccination coverage..

Starting Tuesday (November 22), passengers travelling to India no longer need to fill forms and upload negative RT-PCR tests on the government’s Air Suvidha portal. The doing away of this pre-embarkation requirement is likely to come as a relief for international fliers. It is in sync with the times, as Covid-19 has entered an endemic stage mainly on the back of vaccination coverage.

What was the Air Suvidha requirement?

The Air Suvidha portal was launched in August 2020 through which international passengers had to mandatority submit details of their journey and Covid vaccination or testing status. The pre-arrival self-registration portal also enabled authorities to ascertain whether a person was arriving from a high-risk region.

Late last year, as the Omicron variant of Covid-19 spread, the Union Health Ministry mandated submitting details on the portal, including passengers’ 14 day travel history and negative RT-PCR test reports to map if the traveller was arriving from an ‘at-risk’ country.

What was the criticism against Air Suvidha?

There was no pushback when Covid infections were rising, international passenger numbers were low, and there was a risk of India importing a new variant of the virus from abroad.

However, when the number of international passengers started to increase after India lifted its two-year ban on regular international flights on March 27, 2022, the travel requirement was seen as an impediment by many. A part of the reason was that the system was not able to cope with the increased number of international passengers after regular international flights were restored.

Travellers complained of not being able to upload Covid negative certificates, and that it took hours for passengers to get an Air Suvidha acknowledgment certificate, which was mandated for travel. Systems were updated but that was not enough to ease the pain of fliers.

When did India start the process to abolish Air Suvidha?

A plea was made around the time regular international flights started in March and was pursued seriously only around June. There was a divide within the government too over the issue of its abolition. While the Aviation and Tourism ministries were of the view that the requirement should be abolished, the Health ministry was reluctant and favoured its continuation since there was a risk of India importing new variants.

Requests by the Tourism and Aviation ministries were not accepted in June, but the ministries were assured that a review would be done around August to abolish the Air Suvidha requirement.

So has India removed all Covid restrictions for fliers?

The abolition of Air Suvidha is the last Covid restriction to go.

Last week, the government removed the mandatory requirement of wearing face masks on board aircraft. India’s Covid-era restrictions included limiting the number of domestic flights, ban on regular international flights, fare restrictions, no meal service on board, etc. The path towards bringing normalcy in the aviation sector took flight primarily after Jyotiraditya Scindia took charge as Aviation minister in July 2021.

International Travel:

Flights: India has suspended regular scheduled international flights since March 2020.

Air Suvidha: Simplifying Air Travel to India

Air Suvidha is a dedicated application and system that has been put in place by the Indian government to facilitate air travel to India during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The application aims to provide a seamless and hassle-free experience to passengers by streamlining the entry process and ensuring compliance with health protocols.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about numerous challenges for the global aviation industry, including the need for strict health screening measures and the enforcement of travel restrictions. In order to address these challenges and ensure the safety of passengers traveling to India, the Indian government introduced Air Suvidha.

Air Suvidha serves as a one-stop solution for managing the entire process of travel to India, from the pre-flight stage to the post-arrival stage. Passengers can access this system through a dedicated web portal or mobile application. The application provides features such as registration, self-declaration, and online payment for health and immigration formalities.

One of the key features of Air Suvidha is the self-declaration form, which passengers are required to fill out before traveling to India. This form collects essential information, including health status, travel history, and contact details. By providing this information in advance, authorities can effectively track and monitor passengers while ensuring compliance with health protocols.

Additionally, Air Suvidha allows passengers to upload relevant documents, including negative COVID-19 test reports. This feature streamlines the verification process and reduces the need for manual document checks at airports. By digitizing this process, Air Suvidha minimizes contact and helps mitigate the risk of transmission.

Upon arrival in India, passengers who have registered through Air Suvidha can enjoy a fast-track immigration process. The system automatically generates an exemption code, which can be shown to immigration officials. This code expedites the immigration process, allowing passengers to proceed with their journey without unnecessary delays.

Furthermore, Air Suvidha provides real-time updates and information related to travel advisories, health guidelines, and quarantine requirements. This ensures that passengers are kept informed about the latest developments and can make informed decisions about their travel plans.

It is worth noting that Air Suvidha is constantly evolving to adapt to the changing circumstances and requirements. The Indian government collaborates with various stakeholders, including airlines, airport authorities, and health organizations, to enhance the functionality and effectiveness of the system.

In conclusion, Air Suvidha plays a crucial role in simplifying air travel to India during the COVID-19 pandemic. By digitizing and automating various processes, this application and system streamline the entry process, ensure compliance with health protocols, and provide passengers with a seamless travel experience. As the situation evolves, Air Suvidha continues to adapt and enhance its functionality, demonstrating the government's commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of travelers to India.

However, there may be situations where individuals need to travel to India for essential reasons and may be eligible for an exemption from the travel restrictions. If you find yourself in such a situation, here is how you can apply for an exemption to travel to India during the restrictions.

Check the latest guidelines from the Ministry of Home Affairs or the Indian embassy/consulate in your country to determine if you fit any of these categories.
Gather necessary documents: Once you have determined your eligibility, you need to gather all the necessary documents to support your exemption request. This may include proof of your nationality, travel itinerary, visa, medical documentation (if applicable), proof of business or investment, or any other relevant documents that demonstrate your eligibility for an exemption.
Fill out the exemption application: The next step is to fill out the exemption application form. This form can usually be found on the website of the Indian embassy/consulate or the Ministry of Home Affairs. Provide accurate and complete information in the form and ensure that all required fields are filled. Make sure to attach all the necessary documents along with the application.
Submit the application: Once you have completed the application and gathered all the required documents, submit them to the designated authority.

Follow the instructions provided by the authority regarding the mode of submission, such as online submission or mailing the application package.
Wait for a response: After submitting your application, you will need to wait for a response from the authority. The processing time may vary depending on the volume of applications and the urgency of your situation. It is advisable to regularly check the status of your application and follow up if necessary.
Follow any additional requirements: In some cases, the authority may request additional information or documents to support your exemption request. If this happens, promptly respond to their requests and provide the requested information. Failure to do so may result in your application being rejected.

Note: It is essential to keep in mind that the decision to grant an exemption is solely at the discretion of the Indian government. Meeting the eligibility criteria and submitting a complete application does not guarantee approval. It is also important to stay updated with the latest travel advisories and guidelines issued by the Indian government as these may change frequently in response to the evolving COVID-19 situation.

In conclusion, applying for an exemption to travel to India during the travel restrictions requires determining your eligibility, gathering necessary documents, filling out the exemption application form, submitting the application, and following any additional requirements. Ensure that you comply with all the guidelines and instructions provided by the relevant authorities throughout the application process.

India to Uganda Travel Restrictions: What You Need to Know

International travelers arriving in India are required to follow certain procedures and provide specific documentation upon arrival. These requirements are put in place to ensure the safety and security of both the travelers and the country. Here are some of the key requirements and documentation needed for international travelers arriving in India.

Visa: Before traveling to India, most international travelers will need to obtain a valid visa. The type of visa required will depend on the purpose of the visit, such as tourism, business, education, or employment. Travelers should check with the Indian embassy or consulate in their country for specific visa requirements and application procedures.

Passport: All international travelers must have a valid passport with at least six months of validity remaining. The passport should also have at least two blank pages for entry and exit stamps. Travelers should ensure that their passport is in good condition and not damaged, as this may cause issues during the immigration process.

COVID-19 Documentation: Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, international travelers are required to provide certain documentation related to the virus. This may include a negative RT-PCR test result taken within a specified timeframe before departure. The specific requirements may vary depending on the country of departure and the regulations in place at the time of travel.

Health Declaration Form: Upon arrival in India, all international travelers must complete a health declaration form. This form collects information about the traveler's health, recent travel history, and any COVID-19 symptoms they may be experiencing. Travelers should ensure that they provide accurate and complete information on the form.

Arrival Cards: International travelers are also required to complete arrival cards upon entering India. These cards typically collect information such as the traveler's name, passport details, address in India, and purpose of the visit. Travelers should fill out these cards accurately and legibly.

Travel Itinerary: It is advisable for travelers to have a copy of their travel itinerary, including details of their accommodation and return flights. This information may be requested by immigration officials upon arrival.

Proof of Funds: Immigration officials may also require international travelers to provide proof of sufficient funds to cover their expenses during their stay in India. This can be in the form of bank statements, credit cards, or traveler's cheques.

Travel Insurance: While not mandatory, it is recommended that international travelers have travel insurance that covers medical expenses, trip cancellation, and other unforeseen events. Travelers should carry a copy of their insurance policy or have the details easily accessible.

It is important for international travelers to familiarize themselves with the specific requirements and documentation needed before traveling to India. They should also regularly check for updates and changes in the regulations, especially during times of increased travel restrictions or health concerns. Following these requirements and providing the necessary documentation will help ensure a smooth entry into India.

The duration of the quarantine may vary depending on the severity of the symptoms and the recommendations of the health authorities. It is important to note that the cost of quarantine, including accommodation and medical expenses, will be borne by the passenger.

Fully vaccinated passengers may have different quarantine requirements. However, these guidelines are subject to change and it is essential to stay updated with the latest information from the Indian government and the airline before planning your trip.

It is also worth noting that different states within India may have additional requirements and guidelines for incoming passengers. Travelers are advised to check the specific requirements of their destination state before traveling.

In conclusion, passengers arriving in India through air travel are currently required to provide a negative RT-PCR test report, undergo thermal screening, and complete self-declaration forms.

How to Fill in Air Suvidha form for India Travel in 3 Minutes?

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

Here are a few frequently asked questions when it comes to Air Suvidha.

1. When to Fill in Air Suvidha Form?

You can fill in Air Suvidha anytime before boarding ideally if you are fully vaccinated. If not, you can do it 3 days before departure to India.

2. Can Parents Complete the Self-declaration Form on Children's behalf?

Yes, parents or legal guardians can complete the Self Declaration Form on the Air Suvidha portal on behalf of any children who are too young to fill one in themselves.

3. Do I need to Download Air Suvidha App?

There is no Air Suvidha app. The form filling on the website is enough.

Gone! You no longer need Air Suvidha to land in India

By Toshita Sahni

From 22 November, international passengers arriving at Indian airports don’t need to fill up Air Suvidha forms. The self-declaration form required passengers to fill in details such as their vaccination status, health issues and travel history. It was made mandatory in an effort to curb the alarming spread of coronavirus infections through contact tracing and preventive measures. The relaxation of Air Suvidha is a part of a revised set of guidelines that were recently issued by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare “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”.

The latest air travel guidelines for passengers flying in to India

All travellers should preferably be fully vaccinated as per the “approved primary schedule of vaccination against COVID-19 in their country”.
Any traveller showing symptoms of COVID-19 during travel must follow standard protocol—they will have to wear a mask, separate themselves from others on the flight and be taken to an isolation facility on arrival. A similar protocol will be followed in case a passenger is found to be symptomatic during post-arrival screening.
Health officials will continue to conduct thermal screening of travellers after landing.
Masks are not mandatory in India anymore. On 16 November 2022, the government announced that the use of masks is “preferable” but failing to do so will not invite penal action. However, airlines need to continue in-flight announcements regarding masks, social distancing and other safety measures. They are also required to follow a distancing protocol while deboarding.

Tourism Australia partnered with travel management company FCM Meetings and Events India and Singapore Airlines to network with Indian companies.

In 2023, business travel spending in India increased by nearly 25% year-on-year , while the projected growth for 2024 is 18%.

The airline will fly to the destination daily from Mumbai starting May 25 this year, it said in a statement.

The former national airline recently introduced a premium desk to cater to its frequent flier members, business and first-class guests.
