New Rules For International Passengers Arriving In India
The government has announced that it would no longer be essential for incoming international passengers to complete the self-declaration papers for Covid vaccination on the air Suvidha portal. At midnight, the decision will take effect. The Ministry of Civil Aviation announced this evening that the "Ministry of health & Family Welfare has issued revised 'Guidelines for international Arrivals' in light of sustained declining COVID-19 trajectory and significant improvements being made in COVID-19 vaccination coverage both globally and in India."
The online submission of self-declaration forms through the air Suvidha site has been suspended in accordance with the health Ministry's new standards, according to the Aviation Ministry. However, it also included a legal notice that the regulation might be revised if necessary in light of the Covid scenario. For arriving overseas passengers, the form on the air Suvidha webpage of the aviation ministry was required. Passengers had to report their vaccination status, along with the dates and quantity of doses they had received. This adhered to the norms of the majority of countries.
The travellers should, according to the government, have had all recommended vaccinations. Additionally, it was better to continue with all preventative measures for Covid, such as mask wearing and maintaining a social distance in airports. The aviation ministry had previously stated that while wearing a mask is no longer required while flying, travellers should do so to avoid a coronavirus outbreak. Up until that point, wearing a mask while flying was required. The decision was made, according to the ministry, in accordance with the government's policy of a graduated approach to Covid-19 management.
