As the country is heading towards a phase of ‘unlocking’, several state governments have issued altered guidelines regarding travel and quarantine rules. The state government of Kerala has announced travel relaxation and quarantine rules for individuals arriving from different states. According to the new guidelines, the state will allow short visits without mandatory institutional or home quarantine. 

Visitors can get an entry pass via the state’s Covid19 Jagratha portal for a maximum period of seven days. People visiting the state for medical, official, court, business, property or any other purpose can stay in the state for seven days with mandatory quarantine. On the other hand, students visiting the state for examination purposes are allowed to stay three days before the start of the exam and three days after the exam is over.



A detailed SOP is issued indicating all the important points one is supposed to keep in mind before planning and during the visit. Here are all the important points the SOP talks about:

  • You have to leave the state on the eighth day as only seven-day visit is allowed.
  • All the details of visit, from your purpose of the visit to your itinerary, are to be clearly provided while registering for the entry pass.
