In a groundbreaking move to streamline the travel experience, the Delhi airport is set to introduce an E-Arrival Card for foreign arrivals starting October 1. This digital initiative replaces the traditional paper-based cards, easing the process for international passengers.

Operated by Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL), the new facility promises to cut down on wait times and enhance overall efficiency. The digitalization effort aligns with the airport's sustainability goals by significantly reducing paper consumption.

The E-Arrival Card, developed in collaboration with the Bureau of Immigration, allows travelers to submit their information online up to three days in advance. Similar systems are popular at leading airports across Southeast Asia, marking a significant shift in global airport operations.
