Foreign nationals can now breeze through Indian airports, as immigration is expected to become faster and smoother for visitors. A new system, replacing the traditional paper disembarkation card with a digital e-arrival card, has been activated as of October 1.

According to an Emirates airline advisory, the e-arrival card must be filled out on the India Bureau of Immigration website no earlier than 72 hours and no later than 24 hours before the flight. “There are no charges for submitting the card. Passengers who fail to complete the process in advance may face longer immigration clearance on arrival,” stated the advisory.
