Here's what every OCI cardholder and foreign traveler should know before flying to India. Before boarding your flight, complete the e-arrival card online. This digital form is designed to make your immigration process faster and way smoother when you land in India. You can submit it online up to 72 hours before your flight. And here's something very important. The e-arrival card replaces the old paper disembarkation form that travelers used to fill out after landing. But please do not confuse this card with a visa. The e-arrival card is not a visa and it does not replace your passport. Passport, OCI card, or valid visa for that matter. You still need all the required travel documents to enter India. So traveling to India this year? Save this reel, share it with your family, friends, and follow for more OCI visa, passport, and immigration updates like this.
