India Discontinues Self-Declaration Form Filling for International Passengers

International passengers travelling to India are no longer required to submit self-declaration forms through the ‘Air Suvidha portal’.

The revised order comes into effect on November 22, 2022. Air Suvidha form was a self-declaration to be mandatorily filled by all international passengers arriving in India to disclose their current health status and recent travel details, among others. The form was introduced in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The abolition of Air Suvidha is the last COVID restriction to go. Last week, the government also removed the mandatory requirement of wearing face masks on board flights.
