DENPASAR - Fast track autogate facilities at Bali’s Ngurah Rai International Airport – initially at the departure gates - are now allowing international tourists from 12 countries, along with Indonesians, to electronically verify their information for immigration.
Immigration director general Ronny F. Sompie, quoted by state news agency Antara, said, “If you use the autogate system, the immigration process won’t take more than a minute.”
The new system will gradually replace the manual checks and verifications of passports carried out by immigration officials.
Visitors eligible to use the autogates must be nationals from ASEAN countries, along with citizens from Australia, New Zealand and East Timor.
The process involves a passport scan, followed by a fingerprint and facial scan.
