Below you’ll find a clear overview of what the DI Card is, why it matters, and how to complete it correctly.

It includes basic travel details such as:

Once submitted, you will receive a confirmation email and/or a downloadable PDF of your completed form. You must present this confirmation at immigration upon arrival.
