India Rolls Out AIR SUVIDHA 2.0 for Contactless Health Declaration

India launched AIR SUVIDHA 2.0, an upgraded contactless health declaration portal, to monitor international arrivals in response to the ongoing Ebola outbreak. It mandates the digital submission of travel history, exposure details, and symptoms to facilitate swift health screening.

Key Features of AIR SUVIDHA 2.0

• Mandatory Details: Requires a 21-day travel history, exposure history, and any related symptoms before receiving immigration clearance.
• Real-time Sharing: The system immediately shares data with the Airport Health Officer, Bureau of Immigration, and State Surveillance Officers to quickly identify and refer at-risk travelers.
• Seamless Experience: Eliminates the need to fill out physical forms after landing.

How to Submit the Form

• Timeline: Passengers must complete the Self-Declaration Form (SDF) up to 24 hours before their arrival.
• Submission Window: Travelers are encouraged to fill it out during web check-in or before boarding their flight.
• Verification: Arriving passengers simply present the downloaded SDF at the International Travel Health Desk or Immigration counter.
• Access Portal: You can access the official AIR SUVIDHA 2.0 Portal to submit your declaration.
