Complete Your India e-Arrival Card Before You Travel
The India e-Arrival Card is the Indian Immigration service for collecting arrival information from foreign nationals and OCI cardholders before travel. It records passport, purpose-of-visit, arrival, recent-travel, address-in-India and contact details.
GVC assists with preparing, reviewing and processing the traveller's declaration according to the applicable procedure. We also monitor the permitted submission window and send the result to the traveller by email.
What Is the India e-Arrival Card?
Before arrival
Foreign nationals and OCI cardholders provide the details requested by Indian Immigration. The card can be completed and submitted online within 72 hours before arrival in India.
On arrival
Keep the submitted arrival information accessible and carry the passport, visa or other entry permission required for your journey. Follow the instructions given by Indian Immigration at the checkpoint.
Entry, inspection and customs decisions remain with the relevant Indian authorities.
