Automated e-gates have been introduced at primary international terminals to enhance passenger clearance efficiency and border safety.
The Ports Division has successfully commissioned automated border control e-gates across major international arrival and departure terminals. Utilizing high-speed facial recognition and biometric passport verification, these gates expedite transit times while maintaining stringent security protocols.
Eligible travelers holding valid electronic passports can now complete immigration clearance within seconds. Port operational teams will be on standby around the clock to guide travelers through the newly automated verification pathways.
