3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.
