There is a flux of international passengers arriving in India and we have good news for you. Union health ministry of India has planned to do away with the requirement of uploading self-declaration forms on the air Suvidha Portal. It is a major relief to the passengers arriving in India, particularly those coming by flights to India from USA.
Till now There was a requirement of filling out the air Suvidha form which has questions about current health, recent travel, and many other topics for all international passengers arriving in India. The revised order comes into effect on 22nd November 2022.
Furthermore, the announcement from the civil aviation ministry read “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.
It is worth mentioning here that recently India has also done away with the mask requirement for all domestic and international travelers while flying otherwise or via last minute flights. The ministry said all passengers should preferably wear masks and face covers but there will not be any penalty or fines in case the passenger chooses not to wear the masks. It is completely at the discretion of the passenger whether to wear a mask or not. So now the persons coming from flights to India from USA can choose not to wear masks during the flight without any worries.
The civil aviation ministry has issued revised guidelines for international arrivals stating that ‘all passengers need to have received the full vaccination as per the primary schedule of vaccination against COVID-19 in the country.’
Here is a list of seven key points from the latest guidelines by the government:
