India Requires Air Suvidha Form for All International Arrivals Amid Ebola Concerns
India's Bureau of Immigration has mandated the completion of the Air Suvidha Self-Declaration Form (SDF) for all international arrivals amid the ongoing Ebola outbreak. This online form, required before departure, collects personal, travel, and health information to assist authorities in identifying passengers needing additional medical screening. The mandate applies to Indian citizens, OCI cardholders, and foreign nationals regardless of nationality or travel history. Travelers are advised to submit the form within 24 hours before arrival, preferably during web check-in, to facilitate smooth processing at airports.
