Health Alert – U.S. Mission to India

Home मुखपृष्ठ | News & Events | Health Alert – U.S. Mission to India

Location:  India

Event:  The Embassy and Consulates have successfully repatriated approximately 5,500 travelers from across India to the United States.  We are working to arrange additional special chartered flights for U.S. persons departing India in the coming weeks.  We anticipate the earliest flights will commence next week and will again depart from Mumbai and New Delhi to Atlanta and San Francisco.

In order to assess ongoing demand and determine what degree of assistance may be needed as the authorities lift lock-down restrictions, we request that all U.S. citizens still interested in departing India on a U.S. government-facilitated flight to please fill out this form: https://tinyurl.com/uscit-india, even if you have previously registered, emailed, or otherwise contacted us.  We note that some of the data requested is slightly different from previous registrations. 

Please do not call the Embassy or Consulates to confirm flight details; we will e-mail you if you are confirmed for a seat on a new flight.

Please understand this flight is not free.  All passengers will need to reimburse the U.S. government for the cost of the flight.  Previous flights have cost between $2,000 and $2,500 per person.  A legal document, called a promissory note, for the full cost of the flight must be signed by each adult passenger before boarding. However, payment is not required at the time of the flight.  Please review payment information on promissory notes (DS-5528) here.  While your passport will not be canceled, U.S. citizens who have signed a loan agreement for repatriation may not be eligible for new passports until the loan is repaid.

You will be responsible for any arrangements or costs (including lodging and travel to onward destinations) beyond San Francisco or Atlanta.  Unfortunately, the U.S. Embassy is unable to book any onward travel or other arrangements for you.  The exact departure time and routing of these chartered flights are subject to change.

Unless you receive an email from the U.S Mission in India confirming your flight, please do not appear at the airport.  Only U.S. persons with confirmations from the U.S. Mission to India will be allowed to board the flights.

Actions to Take: 

  • Check your email regularly for messages from the U.S. Mission to India and consider carefully whether to take advantage of the flights being offered now.  There are no guarantees there will be additional flights.
