International travellers flying to India must once again complete the Air Suvidha Self Declaration Form before departure. The requirement comes with the launch of AIR SUVIDHA 2.0, a new digital health screening portal introduced in response to the Ebola outbreak in parts of Africa.
The upgraded platform allows passengers to submit their health declaration up to 24 hours before arriving in India. Travellers are advised to complete the form during web check-in and carry the downloaded acknowledgement for verification at the International Travel Health Desk or Immigration.
Who Needs to Fill the Air Suvidha Form?
The requirement applies to all international passengers arriving in India, including Indian passport holders returning from overseas. The declaration includes:
- Travel history for the previous 21 days
- Any possible exposure to Ebola
- Health symptoms, if applicable
The information is shared with health authorities, immigration officials and state surveillance teams to identify travellers who may need additional screening.
