The India e-Arrival Card (IeAC) is India's mandatory digital immigration form that replaces traditional paper arrival and departure cards. All international travelers must complete the IeAC before entering India.

All foreign nationals entering India are required to submit the IeAC, regardless of their nationality or visa status. This includes tourists, business travelers, transit passengers, and those with visa-free entry privileges. Citizens of India returning from abroad may also need to complete a simplified version of the form.

(4) Flight number and arrival date. (5) Accommodation name and address in India. (6) Purpose of visit. (7) Expected departure date.
