BHPians two questions

1. Is RTPCR test required for travel to Delhi by flight from Bangalore? Will first dose vax certificate be enough?
2. What about return to Bangalore from Delhi?

As m8002 mentioned, since you have KL registered car, you are very likely to be stopped in Attibelle TN-KA border. So keep all sufficient proof documents ready.

Thank you ‘m8002’ & ‘ravib’ for the valuable guidance.

We will go ahead and get the RTPCR done as soon as possible.

As of now, getting slotted and obtain a location for vaccination is not seems to be working properly here at Kerala.

Hopefully the negative RTPCR test results would be sufficient to transit through Tamil Nadu. Fingers crossed.

1) It depends on the airlines. Check with the airlines procedure, if they are okay to accept first dose vaccination certificate. Also check Delhi government rules too.
2) KA doesn't expect RT-PCR negative certificate for people traveling from Delhi. Currently only from MH & KL they are required.

I am planning to travel by car to Bengaluru from Kottayam (Kerala) to visit my daughter and family. Confused about the requirements - mainly RT-PCR and TN epass. We 3 travellers are fully vaccinated.
I find no provision for a transit pass in the TN epass portal. So contacted a number of officials in TN over phone and all of them were clueless about the transit epass. However one person advised me to travel by bus or flight. The last number 044-1070 informed me with a great deal of certainty and authenticity that travel in a car is not allowed through TN for commuters from Kerala to Karnataka. He too advised me to opt for flight or bus, which of course, I don't intent to. I am totally not convinced and am now left all the more perplexed and confused. C
an someone please help me out?

Thanks.
However, it was my hotel that insisted on an RTPCR, and even denied checkin to one family who arrived without one.
Pretty strict, jaipur about this. Curfew form 7 PM, police vans roaming around shouting at people.

Also, the way back, the Kisan protest will hold you up for an indefinite amount of time. So definitely Jaipur is off limits for client visits for the foreseeable future. If youre forced to go, this is teh route to come back:

Head off the highway at Lamachpur any way you can, going backwards, or the wrong side, and then let Google get you back on highway after about 30 minutes of in-village driving. Definitely doable, slightly bad roads, but nothing that cant be managed, even if its a slow slung City.

It seems like we both are on the same boat! It’s very confusing indeed. It’s good to know that all of you have got fully vaccinated, but we are not!

We are going to get the RTPCR done first thing tomorrow morning. So far I understood that it is mandatory to have the negative RTPCR result in our possession.

E-Pass doesn’t seems to be a requirement any more as both TN and KA sites doesn’t have that provision.

If the RTPCR results are in our favour, we will be leaving by tomorrow evening.

KA has done away with it, but don't know about TN.

Good luck, please share your experience as I am due for the journey in 3 days.

Meanwhile I got hold of the Karnataka Government order dated 01/07/2021 which clearly states that persons coming from Kerala to Karnataka are exempt from the negative RT-PCR report if they have been vaccinated with 2 doses.

Guess they later revised the two doses requirement to at least one dose. Checks at attibele are not consistent as such.

A friend who entered KA via the Moolehole checkpost( when ones comes via Muthanga,Wayanad) couple of days back were asked to show rt pcr negative report(not older than 72 hours) or vax certificate for one dose. Also check out the below post regarding entry to TN via Walayar.

Seems like it. Your post in the other thread points out to a problem with the Tamil Nadu officials being ignorant of latest orders, because an official in the Coimbatore collector's office asked me to travel by bus, train or flight when I called up their number today for e-pass clarification.

Just completed drive from Bangalore to Sagar (M.P.) via Hyderabad. No issues and no restrictions. Had done RtPcr for 3 of us in the car, but there was absolutely no checking and did not see any barricades enroute.

Will proceed to Dehradun on 17th July, will update on the situation.

Planning to drive from U.P to kolkata next month. Do i need to carry the RT-PCR negative report or a vaccinated report would be sufficient.

[ssjr0498]

What is the regn no of your vehicle? If WB then don't worry all is well and you won't be stopped, if UP then carry the negative report or the vaccinated report. Any one of these reports is more than enough.

Thanks, for the update. Actually my car is MH registered. Wondering if Bihar and Jharkand states would accept the same.My concern is, if any of these states don't accept these certificates and insist on a RT-PCR.

Thanks.
When I arrived at Delhi airport, there was a police guy who was orally crying out that anyone who doesn’t have a COVID -ve report or vax certificate should give their sample. He didn’t mention is first dose certificate sufficient. People just ignored him and moved on. There was no written direction anywhere which was strange. And no checking or anything after that.

Vaccination report should be more than enough!
