Doha, Qatar: In an important update for international travellers to India, the country has launched Air Suvidha 2.0, an enhanced contactless passenger health self-declaration portal aimed at strengthening public health surveillance in light of the ongoing Ebola disease outbreak.
The Indian Embassy in Doha said on social media that the initiative was announced by the Ministry of Civil Aviation, and is mandatory for all international travellers.
"All international passengers arriving in India are required to complete the mandatory online Health Self-Declaration Form (SDF) before their journey. The form may be submitted up to 24 hours prior to arrival and is designed to enable faster, seamless, and contactless health screening and immigration clearance," the embassy said.
The Air Suvidha Self Declaration form is available at: https://airsuvidha.civilaviation.gov.in/
The embassy further advised travellers to provide accurate information regarding their travel history over the previous 21 days before arriving, any potential exposure and relevant symptoms, if applicable.
