Mandatory Ebola Self-Declaration Form (SDF) for All Passengers Travelling to India
Passengers planning to travel to India are advised to take note of an important new travel requirement before their departure. All travellers arriving in India are now required to complete the Ebola Self Declaration Form (SDF) online and present the completed declaration to Indian Immigration upon arrival at any international airport in India.
This requirement has been introduced as part of the Indian authorities’ health screening procedures to help monitor public health and facilitate a safe and efficient arrival process. To avoid unnecessary delays at immigration, passengers are strongly encouraged to complete the declaration well in advance of their journey.
The Ebola Self Declaration Form (SDF) is available through the Air Suvidha Portal and can be completed up to 24 hours before arrival in India. Passengers should ensure that all information provided is accurate and matches their travel documents. Once the form has been submitted, travellers are advised to keep a copy of the completed declaration, either in digital format or as a printed copy, as it may be requested by the immigration authorities upon arrival.

Who Must Complete the Form?
This requirement applies to all passengers travelling to India, regardless of the purpose of travel, whether for tourism, business, employment, education, or visiting family and friends. Every eligible traveller should complete the declaration before commencing their journey.
When Should the Form Be Completed?
Passengers may complete the Ebola Self Declaration Form up to 24 hours before their scheduled arrival in India. Completing the form before departure is highly recommended, as it helps ensure a smoother arrival experience and minimizes potential delays during immigration clearance.
Why Is This Important?
Health declarations play an important role in supporting public health measures and enabling authorities to respond effectively to health-related concerns. By completing the Self Declaration Form before travelling, passengers contribute to a faster and more efficient immigration process while complying with the latest entry requirements issued by the Indian authorities.
Travellers who fail to complete the required declaration before arrival may experience additional verification procedures or delays during the immigration process. For this reason, passengers are encouraged to complete the form as early as possible within the permitted time frame.
