From October 1, foreign nationals arriving at Indira Gandhi International Airport will be able to submit their arrival details online with the launch of an e-arrival card system designed to replace the current paper-based process.

The initiative, announced on Tuesday by Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL), has been introduced under the supervision of the Bureau of Immigration. Officials said the move is expected to streamline immigration clearance, cut waiting times and advance the airport’s sustainability efforts by significantly reducing the use of paper forms.

“The digital platform will enable passengers to complete the required arrival information ahead of travel, thereby removing the need to fill out paper cards on arrival,” DIAL said in a statement. Travellers will be permitted to submit their details up to three days before landing in India.
