US, UK, Canadian, Australian, Irish, New Zealand and Nigerian passport holders now face the same extra step as Indian nationals returning home: every international passenger arriving in India must submit an online health self-declaration on the Air Suvidha 2.0 portal. The Ministry of Civil Aviation and Delhi International Airport Limited launched it on June 25, 2026, with the Directorate General of Health Services, in response to the Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda.

The form covers a 21-day travel history, any exposure and any symptoms. It can be filed within the 24 hours before arrival, ideally at web check-in, and the downloaded form is shown at the airport health desk or the immigration counter.

It is separate from the e-Arrival Card, and the visa or eVisa requirement is unchanged.
