E-Arrival Card Facility to Launch at Delhi Airport from October 1
Delhi Airport will introduce an E-Arrival Card facility for foreign travellers starting October 1. This new system allows international passengers to fill out their arrival information online, replacing the traditional manual paper-based cards.
Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), the airport operator, stated in a release on Tuesday that the facility aims to ease the arrival process for travellers, enhance efficiency, reduce queues, and support the airport’s sustainability goals by cutting down on paper usage.
The E-Arrival Card service will be launched under the aegis of the Bureau of Immigration. According to DIAL, similar digital arrival card facilities are already available at airports in Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, South Korea, and Malaysia.
Travellers can fill out the arrival information form through a seamless digital platform up to three days before their arrival, eliminating the need to complete paper forms at the airport.
In a related development, June 2024 saw the launch of India’s first Fast Track Immigration-Trusted Traveller Programme (FTI-TTP) at Delhi Airport. This programme is available for Indian nationals and Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) cardholders.
