The travel industry has been greatly impacted by the extraordinary circumstances of the Coronavirus pandemic, resulting in limitations on both local and international travel. However, remarkable efforts by scientists and medical professionals have led to the rapid development of vaccines, bringing us closer to a return to normalcy. These vaccines have proven to be highly effective in controlling the spread of the virus, allowing international borders to gradually reopen and be considered safe.

Given the risks associated with international travel, it is likely that you will be required to link your passport with your vaccination certificate when leaving the country. This serves as evidence that you have received the complete dosage of the vaccine, ensuring not only your own safety but also the well-being of your fellow travelers and society as a whole.

If you have an upcoming trip abroad or frequently travel, it is essential to familiarize yourself with the vaccines accepted in your destination country before receiving vaccinations in India.

• Step 1: Register on the CoWIN app and select passport as your Photo ID.

The initial step is to register on the official CoWIN website. Visit www.cowin.gov.in and provide your mobile number. Verify your identity by entering the received OTP.

• Step 2: Include your passport details in the photo ID section.

Once verified, a registration page will appear where you must enter your complete name, gender, age, photo ID type, and other necessary information. Choose 'Passport' as the photo ID type and enter your passport details.

• Step 3: Schedule an appointment and receive the vaccine.

Navigate to the 'Book Appointment for Vaccination' page and search for vaccination centers based on your state, district, and pin code. Select a convenient center and click on 'Book.' After a successful appointment, you will be eligible to receive the vaccine on your preferred date and time. Ensure you receive both doses at the appropriate intervals.

If you already have a CoWIN account and have been vaccinated using a different registered photo ID, such as a driving license or Aadhaar Card, you will need to update your passport details.

• Step 1: Add passport number to the COVID vaccine certificate

  Log in to your CoWIN account, access the 'Account Details' section, and choose the 'Raise Issue' option. From there, select 'Add Passport Details' and enter your passport number in the 'Enter Beneficiary's Passport Number' field. Double-check the accuracy of the passport number, as modifying the photo ID details will not be possible afterward.

• Step 2:Confirm and submit the changes

  Enter your passport number and confirm that the passport belongs to you, the beneficiary, by ticking the corresponding box. Finally, click on the 'Submit Request' button to complete the process.

• Step 3:Receive a confirmation via text message

  You will receive a text notification on the registered phone number linked to your CoWIN account, confirming your request. Shortly after, you should receive another message confirming the successful update of your request. If you do not immediately receive the message, please be patient as it may take a few minutes, depending on network load.

  To initiate the process, log in to your account and navigate to the 'Account Details' section. From there, choose the beneficiary whose passport information you have recently added or modified. After clicking on the 'Certificate' option, proceed to download the vaccine certificate, which will then be successfully linked to the corresponding passport.

  For added protection, consider obtaining Overseas Travel Insurance that aligns with your specific needs. This additional step will help ensure your well-being in uncertain times.

  Amidst the current circumstances, the Tata AIG travel insurance plan emerges as an exceptional choice for international travel. This comprehensive policy offers affordable rates and covers the cost of COVID-19 treatment if you test positive while on your trip and require hospitalization. It also provides trip cancellation benefits, baggage coverage for lost or delayed belongings, travel assistance, and comprehensive coverage for various medical emergencies, evacuations, accidents, or unfortunate events resulting in death.

  Purchasing the most suitable Tata AIG travel insurance can be effortlessly done through the official website with just a few simple clicks.

  Please note that in order to embark on an international journey, it is imperative that you have received both doses of the vaccine and that your passport is correctly linked to the vaccine certificate. Pay careful attention and ensure accuracy when entering your passport number during the process.

  Under normal circumstances, having your passport linked to the COVID vaccine is adequate for international travel, unless the country you are visiting enforces different COVID guidelines for travelers from India. Some countries may also require you to undergo a COVID test prior to entry. Therefore, it is crucial to stay updated on national and international travel guidelines in the weeks leading up to your flight.

  1. What Vaccines are Available in India?

  Currently, the widely available vaccines in India include Covishield and Covaxin, both domestically manufactured. Additionally, emergency use authorization has been granted to Sputnik, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccines.

  2. Why is it Compulsory for International Travelers to Link Passports with Vaccination Certificates?

  Linking your passport with your vaccination certificate is mandatory as it serves as a valid means of verifying that the individual traveling abroad has received complete vaccination against the Coronavirus. Therefore, it is vital to establish this connection.
