The COVID-19 epidemic has affected our lives for some time. But with effective vaccination campaigns, which include booster doses for adults and children, provincial governments are taking steps to lift restrictions in stages, encouraging people to return to their normal pre-epidemic activities. It also means that you can now pursue your travel interests; just take the right steps and buy solid travel insurance to cover your trip.
As part of the COVID-19 security measures, Maharashtra State Disaster Management Agency and Indian Railways have launched Universal Travel Pass, an ePass code based on a QR code. The benefits of the Universal Travel Pass include:
Making travel safer and easier makes it possible to travel between regions and the country and eliminates the need to carry proof of strong copies of your travel documents and validation. It works to eliminate the risk of fraudulent passports in traffic jams or road closures and ensures easy access to medical facilities when needed.
Universal Travel Pass based on the company
The Universal Travel Pass is in line with the concept of ‘established’. Below, different companies and organizations are classified as separate ‘institutions’ based on their type of business capacity and staff capacity. Each institution must apply for registration at the passport office. The application was then reviewed and approved by the Regional Disaster Management Authority. Once approved, the institution must upload a list of employees who must travel regularly to keep the business running.
After the list of employees has been reviewed and approved, they will be sent an automatic SMS from the portal asking them to start their individual registration process. The SMS contains a registration URL and login information. Authorized personnel must upload their photos and create their passports.
The main benefit of this program is that it reduces the burden on companies to allow their employees to be authorized and tracked. A standard system that allows employees to manage their records helps companies focus on their processes.
Universal Travel Pass for twice-vaccinated citizens
Citizens who have already received both the COVID-19 vaccine can make their own travel passports on their own. However, it is only available to adults. The international travel passport contains the passport holder’s personal information, including his name, photo, gender, age, and dates when he received the first and second COVID measures, recipient ID, and QR code.
In addition, the world contains the level of the movement phase; this may be a numerical category indicating the suitability of the landowner to move depending on the general circumstances. This allows the government to approve standard travel restrictions and guidelines for the public. Therefore, some people may be allowed to travel with certain requirements even within the borders. Emergency services and law enforcement personnel are given high-access clearances. Conversely, some people may be given travel categories depending on the type of work they do and the role they might play in an emergency.
Such writing endeavors have been made possible by advances in digital technology and the profound penetration of fast mobile Internet access services. This will be very helpful in dealing with any future disaster or epidemic situation.
It should be remembered that the Universal Travel Pass is intended for use in India only. It is not equal to or a substitute for purchasing online or offline travel insurance. If you are planning to leave India, e.g. in the US, you should get it to USA travel insurance to pay for any medical conditions or emergencies.
