If you're planning to travel to India, there's an important travel update you should know before boarding your flight. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), India, has made it mandatory for all international passengers arriving in India to submit an Air Suvidha Self Declaration Form through the Air Suvidha 2.0 Portal. This temporary health measure has been introduced in response to the Ebola (Bundibugyo virus disease) outbreak to strengthen public health screening at international airports.
Who Needs to Submit the Air Suvidha Form?
All international passengers traveling to India, regardless of nationality or country of departure, are required to complete the Air Suvidha Self Declaration Form before travel.
What Information Must Be Provided?
Passengers must accurately declare:
- 21-day travel history
- Exposure/contact history
- Any related health symptom
- Personal and travel information
Providing incorrect or incomplete information may lead to delays during immigration or health screening.
When Should You Submit the Form?
The Air Suvidha Self Declaration Form must be submitted at least 24 hours before your scheduled departure to India. Early submission is strongly recommended to avoid last-minute issues.

Why Has India Introduced This Requirement?
The new health declaration requirement has been implemented as a preventive public health measure due to the ongoing Ebola (Bundibugyo virus disease) outbreak. The objective is to monitor international arrivals and ensure quick identification of potential health risks.
