UAE–India Travel: Delhi Airport Introduces E-Arrival Card From October 1, 2025

UAE India travel E-Arrival Card 2025 will simplify arrivals at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport from October 1. Passengers flying from the UAE to Delhi can now complete their arrival details online prior to their journey via a secure digital platform, eliminating the need to fill paper forms on arrival.

Travelers can submit their information up to three days before landing through official portals such as the Bureau of Immigration website (boi.gov.in), Indian Visa website (indianvisaonline.gov.in), Su-Swagatam mobile app, or the Delhi airport website (newdelhiairport.in). This initiative aims to cut waiting times, reduce queues especially during peak travel periods, and support environmental sustainability by minimizing paper usage.

The UAE to Delhi route is one of the busiest globally, with increased traffic during school holidays and festival seasons. The new E-Arrival Card facility aligns Delhi airport with international standards already in place at major hubs in Singapore, Thailand, South Korea, and Malaysia.

The facility applies to foreign nationals; Indian citizens and Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) cardholders continue to benefit from the Fast Track Immigration–Trusted Traveller Programme (FTI-TTP) launched in June 2024
