Download the PDF and take a screenshot. Airport Wi-Fi is unreliable — keep it offline on your phone.
At the Indian airport
After landing, show your registration number or QR code at the APHO / Health Desk. If you develop fever, vomiting, rash or bleeding within 21 days of arrival, call 1075.

Fill it on your phone right away, before you join the immigration queue. Connect to airport Wi-Fi, open the official link at the top of this page, and keep the checklist above handy. With everything ready it takes about 10 minutes.
Common mistakes that cost time
- Filling it more than 72 hours before arrival — the portal won't accept it.
- Choosing the airline before the arrival airport — the lists stay empty.
- Converting arrival time — your ticket's India arrival time is already IST.
- Entering an email you can't open on your phone — you need it for the OTP.
- Name not matching the passport — use passport spelling, not your usual spelling.
- Not saving the PDF offline — then hunting for Wi-Fi at the health desk.
- Paying a third-party website — the official form is free.

I'm transiting through another country. What do I select?
