Important travel update! India has introduced a NEW e-arrival card to replace the previous paper immigration forms completed by guests upon arrival.

The Government of India now requires this process to be completed online and recommends that all guests, including those who have already obtained an e-Visa, fill out the e-Arrival Card in advance. This helps save time at immigration counters upon arrival.

You must submit the e-Arrival card online within 72 hours before arriving in India at boi.gov.in or indianvisaonline.gov.inPlease visit this site prior to your departure from the states.
