Shri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport in Amritsar will introduce Digi Yatra, allowing foreign travelers to enter without presenting travel documents.
Shri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport in Amritsar is set to roll out the Digi Yatra scheme for international passengers, a move aimed at streamlining the entry process. Under the new system, travelers will no longer need to present passports, visas or other travel documents at the airport. Instead, digital credentials verified through the Digi Yatra platform will grant them access.
The initiative is part of a broader effort to modernise India’s aviation infrastructure and enhance passenger convenience. By eliminating physical document checks, the airport expects to reduce queues and processing times, especially during peak travel seasons.
Officials say the rollout will begin in the coming weeks, with the airport’s immigration and security teams receiving specialised training to handle the digital verification process. Passengers will be notified of the change through the airport’s official website and social media channels.
The move aligns with the government’s push to digitise travel services and is expected to set a precedent for other Indian airports to adopt similar measures.
