India e-Arrival Card Process

What Is the India e-Arrival Card?

The e-Arrival Card is a mandatory digital form for foreign nationals entering India. It allows travellers to submit their arrival details online before landing.

Important: The e-Arrival Card is NOT a visa. Travellers must still hold a valid India eVisa or regular visa before travelling.

Why This Change Matters

Previously, passengers had to fill out paper forms at immigration counters, causing delays and long queues.

With the e-Arrival Card:

• Faster immigration clearance
• No paperwork at the airport
• Reduced queues and waiting time
• Environment-friendly (paperless system)

India now joins countries like Singapore and Malaysia in adopting digital entry systems.
