Now Available: India Health Declaration (Air Suvidha) Filing — Add It to Your India Visa Order

Peninsula Visa is pleased to announce a new addition to our India travel services: we now prepare and file the Air Suvidha Self Declaration Form — India's mandatory health declaration for international arrivals — as a $39 add-on service alongside your India visa order.

What Is the Air Suvidha Health Declaration?

The Air Suvidha Self Declaration Form is an official health declaration administered by India's Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (together with the Ministry of Civil Aviation) through the government's Air Suvidha 2.0 portal. As of publication, the portal states the form is "to be mandatorily filled by all international arriving passengers to India" — regardless of nationality, visa type, or purpose of travel.

The declaration collects your personal details, contact and address information in India, and a health self-assessment, and must be submitted online before you board your flight. Airlines and airport health officers check for a completed declaration, and travelers who arrive without one can face delays at the airport or even be denied boarding.

Key Facts at a Glance

• Mandatory for everyone — the form must be filled by all international arriving passengers to India
• 72-hour filing window — the declaration can be submitted up to 72 hours before your arrival in India
• Corrections allowed until arrival — typos and errors can be corrected up to your arrival date and time
• Filed with the government — submissions are accepted on behalf of the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India
• Multi-step form — personal details, contact & address in India, health declaration, and verification must all be completed accurately

India's entry health requirements can change on short notice. As the Air Suvidha portal itself advises, travelers should confirm the latest guidelines with the state Airport Health Organisations (APHOs) or their airline before starting their journey — and our team monitors the current requirement at the time we file each declaration.

Why It Matters

Because the declaration is tied to your flight and arrival details, most travelers end up completing it in the final hours before departure — exactly when a typo in a passport number, a mismatched flight detail, or a portal hiccup is most stressful. An incorrect or missing declaration can mean long waits at check-in counters, questioning by airport health officials on arrival, or a scramble to complete the form on your phone at the gate.

The Easiest Way to Handle It: Add It to Your India Visa Order

If you're already ordering an India visa through Peninsula Visa, adding the Health Declaration service is the simplest way to take this task off your plate entirely:

• One submission flow — we already have your passport and travel details from your visa order, so there's nothing extra to gather
• Expert review — our specialists complete every field of the Air Suvidha form accurately and in the required format, then review it before filing
• Timed correctly — we file within the official 72-hour pre-arrival window, so your declaration is valid when you land
• No last-minute airport issues — your confirmation is delivered before departure, ready to show at check-in and on arrival
• Free corrections — if any detail changes or an error is found, we correct it for you (corrections are permitted up to your arrival)

The service is priced at a flat $39, with same-business-day processing.
