Foreign visitors to India will have to complete a digital e-Arrival Card before landing from April 1, 2026, marking the end of the paper disembarkation card that travellers had long filled out on board or at immigration counters. The move is part of a wider technology-led overhaul of border processing that authorities say is aimed at cutting queues, improving data accuracy and giving immigration officers faster access to passenger information.

The e-Arrival Card is submitted online through the official Indian Visa Online portal, the Bureau of Immigration platform or the government’s Indian Visa Su-Swagatam mobile app. The current official guidance says the form must be completed within 72 hours before arrival and is for arrival information only, not a visa. Travellers are asked to provide passport details, travel information, contact particulars, purpose of visit and their address in India, after which a digital confirmation is generated for presentation on arrival.

The April 1 deadline is not the start of the digital system itself but the point at which the physical card is being withdrawn after a transition period. Government-linked notices issued through overseas missions said the digital disembarkation process had already come into force on October 1, 2025, while paper cards would continue temporarily for as long as six months or until further notice. An immigration advisory published this week by Fragomen, citing a government announcement, said physical cards would be permanently discontinued from April 1, 2026.

That chronology matters because it shows India is not unveiling a wholly new border form overnight, but completing a staged shift towards paperless arrival processing. The official visa portal now prominently carries a notice that foreigners and OCI card holders can complete and submit the e-Arrival Card online within 72 hours before arrival through approved government channels. That wording suggests authorities are folding the form more tightly into the wider immigration and visa network rather than treating it as a stand-alone travel add-on.

The policy aligns with a broader expansion of the Immigration, Visa, Foreigners Registration and Tracking scheme, or IVF-RT, which the Union Cabinet has approved for another five years through March 2031 with an outlay of Rs 1,800 crore. Officials have described the plan as a way to link visa issuance, immigration records, travel history and foreigner registration databases so that decisions at entry and exit points rely less on fragmented manual checks and more on integrated digital records.

For travellers, the most immediate consequence is procedural rather than legal. The e-Arrival Card does not replace a visa, e-Visa or other entry authorisation. It supplements them. A visitor who already holds valid travel permission for India will still need to file the digital arrival declaration in the permitted time window. That means airlines, travel agents, business mobility firms and universities handling international arrivals are likely to spend the next few days reminding passengers that a boarding document and an arrival declaration are now separate steps in the journey.

The government’s pitch is built around speed and visibility. Digital pre-submission allows immigration systems to receive data before a flight lands, which can reduce form-filling bottlenecks at the airport and improve risk screening. Industry specialists tracking mobility rules say the change also gives authorities stronger data control and supports more real-time monitoring of foreign arrivals. That mirrors a global pattern in which governments are replacing handwritten landing cards with app-based or portal-based pre-arrival disclosures.

There are, however, operational questions that matter for passengers. Official pages make clear that the form should be completed within 72 hours of arrival, yet some secondary reports have described slightly different timelines or suggested varying treatment of QR code presentation depending on when the form is filed. The most reliable course for travellers is therefore to follow the instructions displayed on the official government portal or app at the time of submission, rather than relying on social media summaries or copied advisories.

Another area requiring care is who exactly falls under the rule. The current official portal text explicitly refers to foreigners and OCI card holders being able to submit the e-Arrival Card, while some earlier mission notices had described OCI holders as exempt before later updates changed that position. For foreign visitors travelling on tourist, business, student or other visas, the direction is straightforward: the digital arrival filing now sits at the centre of entry processing.

CHONGZUO, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 26 March 2026 – In the karst terrain of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Buhua Village, once a remote and economically underdeveloped community, has been transformed into a popular tourist attraction thanks to a 5G information superhighway co-built by China Mobile and Huawei. This digital leap has established the village as a model of rural revitalization, generating over CNY500,000 in annual collective village income and boosting per capita annual earnings by CNY18,000.

Photo-PR 1.jpg

Chongzuo is characterized by impressive karst landforms with peak clusters and peak forests. This breathtaking terrain presents huge challenges for communications network buildout. To overcome these geographic barriers, China Mobile and Huawei have collaborated on technological innovations in a bid to achieve comprehensive network coverage. Today, all administrative villages in Chongzuo have access to 5G networks, while 99% of its natural villages have 4G coverage and 94% have 5G coverage.

Buhua Village is within the jurisdiction of Chongzuo City. The village upgraded its networks from 4G to 5G as early as 2021, offering residents digital services on par with those seen in major cities. The deployment of advanced communications networks has catalyzed the growth of Buhua’s distinctive local industries.

In Xinhe Town, where the village is situated, a digital e-commerce ecosystem has been established, featuring 65 product stores on platforms like JD.com and Douyin, which are collectively owned by the village. Furthermore, a live-streaming incubation base has been established, nurturing 27 local live streamers. These stores secure over CNY300,000 in revenue each year by selling local specialties like Buhua brown sugar. This is a handcrafted product that is recognized as intangible cultural heritage, with a 150% price premium over normal brown sugar. It is sold to tier-1 cities in China, like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, and is even exported overseas, including to Japan and South Korea.

Digital technology is also driving the upgrade of the local tourism industry. China Mobile has established an intelligent ticketing system at the Heishui River, which is Buhua Village’s most popular scenic spot where activities like rafting, boat tours, and paddleboarding are available for tourists. This system has reduced the average time for tourists to purchase tickets from 20 minutes to just 3 minutes, with online purchases now accounting for 30% of the total. Accommodation can also be booked through the system, which has increased the booking rate of local homestays by 30%.

Digitalization has further expanded to the ecological protection field. A safety monitoring and IT system project for modern irrigation engineering along the Heishui River has been launched, with investment totaling CNY100 million. Supported by the Bianjiang Zhizhou open AI platform, the digital monitoring system is set to cover 13 towns across four counties/districts in Chongzuo. Once up and running, it will enable the integrated, real-time monitoring of water quality and other ecological parameters of the Heishui River, and intelligently issue early warnings to guarantee safe water irrigation across 60,000 hectares of farmland in the river basin.

Digitalization has helped Buhua Village make the jump from poverty to prosperity. In 2025, the village’s annual collective economic income (generated from assets, land, or enterprises owned by the village community rather than individuals) exceeded CNY500,000. The average income of every household reached over CNY80,000, three times the average income from traditional sugarcane farming. The annual per capita income of villagers increased by CNY18,000. As a result, an increasing number of young people have chosen to return to the village and develop their careers.

Zhou Peng, General Manager of China Mobile Guangxi’s Chongzuo Branch, said, “By bridging the digital divide, we are helping remote villages like Buhua develop digital trade alongside traditional agriculture. This is transforming resources that were not fully used in the past due to geographical limitations into strong momentum for economic growth in the digital age.”

Tian Yongsheng, Deputy General Manager of Huawei Guangxi, noted, “Huawei is supporting China Mobile in building a solid digital foundation for Chongzuo with innovative solutions. We look forward to seeing technology overcome geographical limitations and enable more remote villages to achieve leapfrog development in the 5G and AI era.”
