Australia’s Smartraveller portal, updated on 15 September but referencing measures active since June, reminds travellers that India now requires an online health self-declaration via the Air Suvidha 2.0 portal up to 24 hours before arrival, owing to a World Health Organization-declared Ebola emergency. Passengers failing to file the form face extra screening and possible quarantine on landing. The advisory also notes that e-Visas are valid only at designated airports and warns that presenting an e-Visa at a non-enabled port will result in deportation. For corporate mobility planners routing staff from Australia to tier-two Indian airports, the notice is a red flag: confirm that the arrival city accepts e-Visas, and add the Air Suvidha QR-code confirmation to pre-departure document packs.
