In New International Passenger Guidelines, Civil Aviation Ministry Discontinues Self-Declaration Covid Form

The Ministry of Civil Aviation released new guidelines for international passengers arriving in India and scrapped the submission of the self-declaration form on the Air Suvidha portal.

The guidelines regarding the form submission on the Air Suvidha portal were revised "in light of sustained declining Covid-19 trajectory and significant advances being made in Covid-19 vaccination coverage" in India.

The new policy will be in effect from 12:01 am IST on Tuesday, November 22 until further orders. If required, this new decision will be reviewed by the Civil Aviation ministry.

The Air Suvidha portal had a self-declaration form that required passengers to declare their vaccination status, including the number of doses they have received.
