Borger Control


  • What are the automatic gates that are used at some airports when arriving into a country?

    Some countries offer automated gates on arrival that check passengers against a database of passport information and allow them to enter the country without seeing an immigration officer. They typically use a ‘biometric’ means of identification to validate the passenger, for example a fingerprint, photograph of an iris or a comparison of the face with the photograph in the passport.

  • Can anyone use them?

    It usually depends on the country you are travelling to, and your nationality. If you are a frequent flyer, you should check with the immigration authority to see if you would be eligible and whether you need to register for the program. IATA is working with many authorities to encourage the use of this type of automation to help with queuing times.
