The rules on travel to India have changed regularly during the pandemic, due to Covid variants and lockdowns. But can we go there now, and what are the entry requirements? Here's what you need to know.
Technically yes, although scheduled international flights to India are currently suspended. A limited number of flights are currently operating between India and the UK under a bilateral agreement but these arrangements may be subject to change at short notice.
From Monday 14 February 2022 those who do need to travel to India are no longer required to take a Covid test before flying, or quarantine on arrival, if they're fully vaccinated. Before flying all travellers should submit a self-declaration form on the online ‘Air Suvidha’ portal and include proof of Covid vaccination status on the form.
Those who are not vaccinated should take a PCR test within the 72 hours before departure and submit proof of a negative result on the portal.
