Travelling to India from Oman? Here’s what you need to show at the airport | Times of Oman

Muscat: Passengers travelling from Oman to India are required to present a number of documents at airports in Oman before they will be allowed to board the flight to their destination, including a self-declaration form, a negative PCR test report or proof of being fully vaccinated, and an undertaking to India's Ministry of Civil Aviation that they will follow COVID-19 regulations on arrival. The new guidelines come into effect on Monday, 14 February, following the Indian government's decision to scrap mandatory PCR tests for all arriving passengers. A circular issued by India's flag carrier Air India provided in detail the protocols passengers must follow when they plan their journey. All passengers are required to "submit complete and factual information in the self-declaration form (SDF) on the online Air Suvidha Portal before their scheduled travel," including travel details for the last 14 days, said the circular. They are also required to "upload a negative COVID-19 RT-PCR report in the Air Suvidha Portal. Alternatively, passengers can upload a certificate of completion of a full primary vaccination schedule of COVID-19. "There are countries which have agreements with India on mutual recognition of vaccination certificates of nationally recognised or WHO-recognised vaccines," said the circular.
