This will save time when entering or exiting through Singapore’s international air, land and sea checkpoints, as travelers will not need to present passports when using these lanes. Instead, the lanes use biometric scanners to capture the traveler’s iris, facial and fingerprint details and run them through automatic national background check systems.

Singapore is the first country in the world to allow all travelers to use such a system.
