Delhi airport goes paperless for foreign travellers: New e-Arrival Card system to be rolled out from tomorrow

“We are delighted to join hands with the Bureau of Immigration to launch the e-Arrival Card facility for international passengers. By digitising the arrival card process, we are enabling faster clearances, shorter waiting times, and greater convenience to enhance the overall passenger experience. This initiative reflects the Government of India’s commitment to delivering a world-class, hassle-free travel experience while promoting sustainable practices,” said DIAL CEO Videh Kumar Jaipuriar.

Officials said the move aligns with the government’s “Digital India vision” and follows a global trend of airports offering paperless entry systems. Similar facilities are already in place at airports in Thailand, Singapore, South Korea, Indonesia, and Malaysia.

Foreign passengers will be able to access and submit their details up to three days before travel through official portals, including the Bureau of Immigration website (boi.gov.in), the Indian visa website (indianvisaonline.gov.in), the “Su-Swagatam” mobile app, or the Delhi airport website (newdelhiairport.in).

Last June, the airport also launched India’s first “Fast Track Immigration–Trusted Traveler Programme” (FTI-TTP) for Indian nationals and Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) cardholders, offering faster and more secure immigration clearance. DIAL said the two initiatives — FTI-TTP and the e-Arrival Card — are designed to improve efficiency and enhance the passenger experience.
