Imagine reaching passport control at Dubai airport and, instead of walking up to a fixed counter, the immigration officer comes to you, phone in hand, ready to process your immigration and send you on your way with just a click. That is the idea behind Click & Travel, a new service officially launched by the General Directorate of Identity and Foreigners Affairs-Dubai (GDRFA Dubai) on September 7. The mobile system uses biometric verification, facial recognition, electronic passport reading, and automated checks to let officers complete immigration procedures using handheld devices. The service has already been tested on thousands of passengers and is designed to speed up processing while giving airport teams greater flexibility in handling passenger flows.
