Introduction to E-visas

• Uses electronic data collected for entry

programs • Faster and more ergonomic methods to read

data from an official travel document • Facilitates the identity management of visa

holders through machine assisted identity confirmation

• Facilitates travelers through check-in and border processes

1. Visas communicate data in a machine-readable format to airline authorities and border officials in transit and receiving countries.

2. The machine-readable zone provides a systematic way to gather and compare personal data electronically, particularly when the passport document is not already machine readable.

3. E-visas allow additional biometric and other data to be stored and read.

4. This offers the possibility of facilitated or self-service inspection, and the capacity to verify biometric information that is stored on or linked to the visa.

e-Visa types – Advantages

Chip visa sticker A sticker IC contactless chip has many advantages for visa issuers, including the capacity to carry biometric data on a document without requiring a real-time database at all points of service to verify biographic and biometric data. This is a particularly useful concept given that many travel documents are not machine readable. However, overcoming technical constraints will be key to the adoption of this method.

Chip in a multi-use visa card: Multi-use documents have increased in use in national and multi-lateral settings. As biometric and card technology matures, card visas will grow in popularity because of their durability and ease of use.

e-Visa System

Checking Document Authenticity and Validity

It is essential for border agencies to check that the e-Visa presented is genuine and has not been tampered with since issue.

This can be done through examination of the face of the document (through image processing and a database of passport security features) or by a check of the integrity of the chip contents, or reference to a central passport issue database, or any combination of these.

No system should be planned without this key requirement ,and suppliers’ solutions should be independently tested.

Identification and/or identity verification

Clearly border control agencies should identify each e-Visa holder with a high degree of confidence.

The biographical/biometric data may be cross-checked against other elements in the document and against issuer databases. See section on biometric matching.

Determination of Eligibility

Once a passenger’s nationality, identity, and risk have been established, they should be checked against a rule-based system which determines whether or not that person may be admitted without examination by a border control officer.

Passenger movement logging

Systems should record details of passengers (both biographic and biometric) who enter and exit. Consideration should be given to how much of the data contained in e-VISAs is essential to border control and national security, and whether legal powers exist to capture, store, and use such data.

Solution Overview

Make borders more secure:

Most countries have many entry and exit points. A new approach is needed to prevent the entry of illegal or high-risk travelers. Biometric security technologies can help make borders more secure.

Start at country gateways:

Biometric security solutions can be used during visa or travel card applications at a country’s gateway, and can then be used to authenticate and check the background of applicants before they leave their countries.

Multiple checkpoints:

Biometric security also needs to be implemented at checkpoints to ensure that only the authorized travelers are allowed through.

Linking the databases:

Sharing criminal, blacklists and terrorist watch list database both locally and internationally.

Integrating systems:

Biometric security solutions must be integrated to other critical systems such as immigration department’s centralized database and other intelligence bureau databases and applications

Zero false identification:

The use of biometrics security technology can eradicate the false identification of travelers and their travel documents.

International cooperation:

Fosters better international cooperation through the use of integrated technologies and global standards.

Reliability and accuracy of screening:

Biometrics data from national and international criminal databases and terrorist watch lists will increase the reliability and accuracy of screening at immigration checkpoints.
