As technology advances and continues to grow, the way we navigate visa applications is also being transformed. From the growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) to biometrics data integration, these advancements in technology are making the visa process more user-friendly, secure and efficient. In this new blog, we explore how AI and technology are changing the world of visas.
AI-Powered Visa Application Review:
AI has been known to speed up the process for you and that is what countries are hoping to do while reviewing visa applications. AI can quickly scan and review your visa documents which can reduce processing times. AI systems can detect any missing information, detect errors and allow you to correct them which reduces rejections.
Bio-Metric Data Integration:
Many embassies now require fingerprint scanning and face recognition while submitting visa applications to enhance security measures. By incorporating biometric data, governments ensure that the person applying for the visa is the same individual who enters the country. This reduces the risk of identity fraud and improves the overall security of international travel.
Smart Border Control
Smart border control systems are another technological innovation that is transforming the visa process. These systems use AI and biometric data to streamline the entry process for travellers with valid visas. Upon arrival, certain countries have allowed travellers from certain countries who quickly and securely pass through automated border control gates that verify their identity using biometric information.
Here are 8 countries that have used AI and technology to streamline the visa process:
1. Australia
eVisitor and ETA Visas: Australia's Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) and eVisitor visa systems use automated technology to streamline visa applications for short-term stays.
Biometric Data: Australia has employed biometric data such as fingerprint scanning and facial recognition to enhance security and expedite entry processes at airports.
2. United States
Global Entry Program: This program has been implemented by the U.S. and uses biometric data (fingerprints and facial recognition) to facilitate expedited clearance for pre-approved, low-risk travellers upon arrival in the U.S.
3. United Kingdom
Biometric Residence Permits: Biometric data is used extensively for residence permits, enhancing security and streamlining the verification process.
4. Canada
Global Case Management System (GCMS): This system integrates AI to manage and process immigration and visa applications efficiently.
5. New Zealand
NZeTA: New Zealand's Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA) uses AI to facilitate quick and secure processing of visa applications for short-term visitors.
Biometric Data: New Zealand has employed biometric data such as fingerprint scanning and facial recognition to enhance security and expedite entry processes at airports.
6. United Arab Emirates
Smart Gates: At Dubai and Abu Dhabi airports, Smart Gates uses biometric data to allow registered travellers to pass through border control quickly.
7. Singapore
Automated Clearance: Singapore uses automated clearance systems that employ facial recognition technology for travellers entering and leaving the country.
8. South Korea
K-ETA: The Korea Electronic Travel Authorization (K-ETA) system allows travellers to apply for entry authorization online, with AI assisting in the screening process.
Biometric Immigration Clearance: South Korea uses biometric data at airports to expedite the immigration process for travellers.
These countries are leveraging AI and technology to enhance the efficiency, security, and convenience of their visa processes, making international travel more accessible for millions of people worldwide.
