India Arrival Checker: Which Forms Do I Need?

Answer two questions. See exactly which forms to fill before flying to India, when your window opens, and add a reminder to your calendar. Nothing you enter leaves your phone.

Who this is for: anyone flying to India in the next few days who isn’t sure which arrival forms apply to them.

1. Which passport are you travelling on?
2. When do you land in India? (Indian time β€” as on your ticket)

The India arrival time on your ticket is already Indian Standard Time.

How the India arrival checker works

India currently requires two arrival forms. Air Suvidha 2.0 is a health declaration for every international arrival. The e-Arrival Card is an immigration form for foreign nationals and OCI cardholders. Both are free and open 72 hours before landing. This tool runs entirely in your browser β€” nothing is stored or sent anywhere.

FAQ

Why can't I fill the forms earlier than 72 hours?

Both official portals only accept submissions within 72 hours of your arrival in India.

I'm landing in less than an hour. What now?

Fill Air Suvidha right away on your phone. If you've already landed, do it before joining the queue so you aren't sent back.

Does this tool submit the forms for me?

No. You fill them yourself on the official government portals. This tool only tells you which ones and when.
