OCI cardholders now required to fill out an E-Arrival card before landing in India

From 1 October, all international travellers, including OCI cardholders, must submit an e-arrival card online 72 hours before departure. The new digital system aims to streamline entry, reduce wait times, and eliminate manual data entry at airports. In this podcast, we talk about the new development with travel agent Nirav Kotak.
