Union Home Minister Amit Shah will inaugurate the ‘Fast Track Immigration – Trusted Traveller Programme’ at Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Cochin and Ahmedabad airports today. This will provide world-class immigration facilities to travellers, making international travel seamless and secure.
According to the Home Ministry, applicants are required to complete online registration by filling in their details and uploading the required documents on the portal ftittp.mha.gov.in to enrol in this programme. The biometric data of registered applicants will be captured either at the Foreigners Regional Registration Office or while passing through the
airport.
Registered travellers will need to scan their airline boarding pass at the e-gate, followed by scanning their passport. At both the arrival and departure points, the passenger’s biometrics will be authenticated at the e-gates. Once this authentication is successful, the e-gate will automatically open, and immigration clearance will be deemed as granted.
FTI-TTP will be implemented at 21 major airports across the country. The Home Minister launched the Fast Track Immigration Trusted Traveller Program in June last year from Terminal-3 of Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI) in New Delhi.
