Off-topic but US issued certificates are accepted for travel but not covered in EU DCC gateway.

The EU digital certificate standard is common to all EU countries and 20+ non EU countries. The apps can read and replicate each other’s codes but the issuing country is always displayed. German rules dictate that only persons eligible for a vaccination in Germany should receive the certificate but pharmacies regularly issue certificates to foreigners asking nicely.
So Indian health officials could take a deeper look at the certificate and spot where you were vaccinated if they want to.

I don't know what the color code is for someone that only has a RT-PCR report.

Hi All,
travelling from Ireland to Bangalore via Frankfurt (germany) on Lufthansa.
2 adults - 2 doses + booster
1 child - 2 doses
1 infant - no vaccination.
I am assuming, we have to upload covid cert for 3 of us online. there is nothing else to be done.
no need of pcr or antigen test for 3 of us.
also there is no requirement for the infant who is 15 months old.
also at bangalore airport, there is only random check and nothing else.
is that correct?
thanks

Yes as of now. Do keep an eye on things if it changes.

Have you tried renaming the file so it doesn't have special characters in the file name? The upload is unnecessarily picky, use only small pdf files with alphanumeric file names (no punctuation etc.)

PCR test for children travelling with fully vaccinated adults
Hi,
Any idea if the children aged 6-11 years are also exempt for a pre-departure RT PCR if they are travelling with fully vaccinated adults? The Guidelines for International Arrivals dtd Feb 10 2022 has not explained this aspect.
Myself and my wife are fully vaccinated but our child age group is not approved for vaccination in the UK. Does this mean we have to especially get a 72 hour pre-departure RT PCR done only for the child?

Upon landing in DEL no one asked me for anything. The enforcement is being done by the airline and not by any officials on the ground. It feels things are back to early 2020 with the crowds back at immigration.

The question is not of if you have been vaccinated but which country you got your final shot. I would recommend the best solution is to go about filling out the Air Suvidha form and it will tell you if your vaccination is enough or you need to get a RT-PCR test done. I filled it out over the weekend and it accepted my vaccination status.

Seems you have quoted me but not answered my query as the response looks not relevant to my query 😀
