Revolution at the Changi Airport: Now travel without a passport!

Changi Airport, Singapur, Singapur - Singapore, the paradise of the travelers, has opened a breathtaking new chapter! At the famous Changi Airport, flying is now more easy - without any passport control! This was announced by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) on September 30th. Instead of cumbersome passport checks, passengers are now identified at lightning speed through innovative eye and face recognition. A dream for everyone who fills the eternal waiting times!

not so quickly! This revolutionary system is initially only accessible to the citizens of Singapore, who can now arrive and leave without a passport. For tourists from Germany or other countries, however, the ID still remains a must when entering. The good news? On the departure, anyone who submits their “SG Arrival Card” in time may enjoy the absolute freedom of passeless travel! A simple output on the "Smart Gate" makes it possible - and with an impressive time saving of up to 60 percent!

The future of travel

The ICA proudly announces that passport control no longer lasts 25 seconds, but only an incredible 10 seconds! A milestone for global travel. Singapore may be the first airport to fully implement this concept, but other global turnstile like Dubai follow up, where "Smart Gates" are also used. Whether you really no longer need the passport or not - it is certain: A look at these documents can never hurt, because the border officials always reserve the right to carry out manual controls.

In Germany you can look at these developments with interest. Although a completely pass -without travel traffic is still a future music, the "Easypass" system at eight German airports you are already taking a step in this direction. Here it is enough to simply scan the electronic passport and look at the camera briefly - and Schwupps, you are already through the control! It remains to be seen whether we will soon be able to experience the adventure of travel without a passport in Europe.
