Planning a Trip to India? Don't Miss The Air Suvidha 2.0 Health Declaration Form

Travelling to India now includes one extra, simple step: every international passenger must complete the AIR SUVIDHA 2.0 Health Self‑Declaration Form (SDF) before arrival.

Launched to speed up contactless health screening and immigration, the portal collects a short travel and health history for arriving passengers and issues a confirmation you should keep handy at check‑in and on arrival.

All international travellers arriving in India are required to submit the AIR SUVIDHA 2.0 Health Self‑Declaration Form before landing. The online form is contactless, quick to complete, and helps airport and health authorities perform faster screening and immigration processing. Complete the form within 24 hours before your scheduled arrival and save the confirmation to avoid delays.

Why AIR SUVIDHA 2.0 exists

AIR SUVIDHA 2.0 is an upgraded public‑health portal designed to strengthen surveillance at airports while keeping the process contactless and traveller‑friendly. By collecting a concise 21‑day travel history, symptom and exposure details, and basic flight information, authorities can focus resources and reduce queues without asking travellers to fill paper forms on arrival.

You should submit the SDF no earlier than 24 hours before your scheduled arrival in India. Many travellers find it easiest to complete during online/web check‑in or just before leaving for the airport. Having the confirmation (PDF or screenshot) ready at airline check‑in and for health/immigration staff speeds up your journey through the airport.

What information the form asks for

The SDF is brief but specific prepare the following details to complete it quickly:

• Personal details: full name, passport number, nationality, contact details.  
• Flight details: airline, flight number, scheduled arrival airport and time.  
• Travel history: countries/regions visited during the previous 21 days.  
• Health and exposure questions: any relevant symptoms, contact with confirmed cases, or known exposures.  
• Declaration and signature: an online declaration confirming accuracy of the information.

Step‑by‑step: how to complete the form

1. Prepare your documents: passport, flight booking, a list of countries visited in the last 21 days, and a working email or phone number.  
2. Access the official AIR SUVIDHA portal and select the Self‑Declaration Form (SDF) option.  
3. Enter personal and travel details exactly as printed on your passport and ticket.  
4. Answer the health and exposure questions honestly; if you have symptoms, expect further checks on arrival.  
5. Submit the form and download or screenshot the confirmation/receipt (it typically generates a PDF). Keep a digital copy and, if possible, a printed copy.

Practical tips for a smooth arrival

• Complete the SDF during web check‑in or within 24 hours before arrival to avoid last‑minute rush.  
• Save both the PDF confirmation and a screenshot in an easily accessible folder on your phone. A printed copy is useful if you prefer paper.  
• Fill the travel‑history section carefully, errors or omissions may cause additional questioning.  
• If you have symptoms or recent exposure, expect supplementary screening on arrival and follow instructions from health officials.

Present the SDF confirmation when asked by airline staff at check‑in and by health/immigration officers on arrival. In most cases, the form simply speeds processing. If your declaration indicates symptoms or exposure, airport health teams may perform secondary screening, testing, or temporary isolation according to prevailing health protocols.
