‘Unlimited Smart Travel’: Dubai airport introduces new passport control initiative
10 passengers can complete passport control procedures in under 15 seconds
Dubai, UAE – April 2025:
Passengers flying through Dubai International Airport (DXB) can now experience a fully seamless passport control process, thanks to a new smart travel initiative introduced by the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA).
The groundbreaking system, titled ‘Smart Travel’, allows travelers to move through passport control without showing their passport, boarding pass, or any physical ID, using only their biometric data such as facial and iris recognition.
🔍 How It Works:
Travelers’ biometric information is linked to their travel documents during check-in.
At immigration, facial recognition cameras instantly verify the traveler’s identity.
No need to present passports or boarding passes at multiple touchpoints.
The process is available at:
Dubai International Airport – Terminal 3
Emirates Airlines check-in counters and smart gates
🚀 The Vision
According to Lt. Gen. Mohammed Al Marri, Director General of GDRFA-Dubai, this initiative is part of Dubai’s vision to lead in smart government transformation and AI-driven travel infrastructure.
“We are making travel smarter, faster, and more secure. Our goal is to offer passengers a smooth and paperless journey," said Al Marri.
🌍 A World-Class Travel Hub
Dubai already leads the world in passenger experience and travel tech. The Smart Travel system is set to enhance:
Operational efficiency
Passenger satisfaction
International recognition of Dubai as a global smart city
The initiative supports Dubai’s ambition to become the world’s best-connected and smartest aviation hub.
