Now, instead of filling out forms on board the aircraft or at the airport, you will need to issue an electronic arrival card (e-Arrival Card) in advance, according to the Dune news agency.
According to the new rules, it is necessary to fill out an electronic card within 72 hours before arrival in India. You can do this online through the official website of the Indian Visa Service at https://indianvisaonline.gov.in/earrival or through the Su-Swagatam mobile app.
The relevance of these innovations is emphasized by the dynamic growth of air traffic between the countries. For example, there are currently about 20 passenger flights per week between Uzbekistan and India. Uzbekistan Airways and Centrum Air connect Tashkent with major Indian cities such as Delhi, Mumbai and Goa.
It is expected that the geography and intensity of flights will significantly expand during the summer schedule. Uzbekistan Airways plans to launch direct flights between Namangan and Delhi, opening up new opportunities for residents of the Fergana Valley.
The airline "Centrum Air" intends to increase the frequency of flights between the capitals to three times a week, and the carrier "Qanot Sharq" will begin operating regular flights on the route "Tashkent - Delhi - Tashkent".
Given the expansion of flight programs and the growth of passenger traffic, tourists and business travelers are strongly advised to apply for an e-Arrival Card in advance.
The Embassy of Uzbekistan in Delhi reminds our compatriots arriving at Indian airports that having a pre-prepared digital migration document will minimize formalities and avoid delays during passport control at Indian airports.
