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. 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. 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. Make sure to take 2-3 color printouts of the PDF because the hard copy may be asked for during boarding and on arrival. On successful submission of the self-declaration form, you will receive an email confirmation carrying a PDF attachment. Kindly note that you can edit the form only once. 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. 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.

The website of New Delhi IGI Airport integrates Air Suvidha in the top right corner. However, you should carry the original vaccination card/certificate if you are fully-vaccinated. 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. 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. Without this form or with incorrect details in the form, you will be denied boarding at the origin airport. 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. 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. Integrated to the website of New Delhi International Airport, Air Suvidha can make or break your travel plans for India. 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.
