Check out the New Rules for International Arrivals!
In light of the increased number of Covid-19 cases and the threat posed by the novel Omicron coronavirus type, the government has updated the existing standards for international arrivals in India. Passengers will now be required to submit a self-declaration application and a negative RT-PCR report to an internet portal prior to their trip under the new requirements. They've also been given the option to pre-book a Covid-19 test, which will be administered when they arrive.
1. Fill out a self-declaration form on the online air Suvidha portal with complete and accurate information, including travel details from the last 14 days.
2. Submit a Covid-19 RT-PCR report that is negative. The test should have been completed within 72 hours of leaving for the trip.

4. They must also provide an undertaking to the Ministry of Civil Aviation via involved airlines, either on the portal or elsewhere, before they are permitted to travel. They should state that they will follow the competent government authority's decision to undertake home quarantine if necessary.
