You no longer need a passport to immigrate or visit Australia.
In fact, you do not need a passport to be able to enter Australia, after the Australian authorities announced the use of face recognition technology to obtain the entry permit instead of the passport.
Australian Immigration Minister Peter Dutton has announced a $ 22.5 million three-year contract with a Portuguese company to build 105 new smart e-gates at various airports in the country and promised to build more smart gates in the future.
Dutton said that the plan aims to solve the problem of overcrowding, which has become an increasing phenomenon recently, has been across the borders of the number of 40 million people in the last year, and is expected to reach 50 million in the next three years.
The adoption of this technique means that travelers who come from abroad will not need to issue proof of identity to know their faces, but will be identified by scanning light.
Dutton told Australian news channel The Seven Networks that the technology to be used is very modern and does not need to take out the passport, which will help speed up travel and departure procedures.
The Portuguese company has already begun to set up a pilot vision-box model for smart e-gates in Adelaide, but without face recognition, the company has previous experiences at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York.
"The deployment of such a highly advanced technology will be an innovative and more efficient experience than conventional identification and will provide ease and flexibility in airport traffic," said Miguel Litman, the company's chief executive officer in Ban.
He also added that passenger experience, high precision measurement and personal data protection are among the company's primary priorities in establishing a foundation for further development of airports.
