Fast Track Immigration – Trusted Traveller Program

A new initiative by the Government of India to fast track the immigration process.

The program will run on e-gates or automated border gates which will minimize human intervention in the immigration clearance process. The programme will be implemented in two phases. In the first phase, Indian citizens and OCI cardholders will be covered, and in the second phase, foreign travellers will be covered. The objective of this programme is to make international travel easy and secure by developing world-class immigration facilities through an accelerated immigration pathway for international travellers screened through automated gates (e-Gates).
