The Autogate system sponsored by AHT Danang International Terminal Investment and Operation Joint Stock Company will help shorten the time for passengers to complete immigration procedures, reduce pressure on control forces with a fully automated process and improve safety and security with an advanced biometric identification system.

After handover, the system was officially put into operation at Da Nang International Airport, helping to optimize the flow of international passengers while ensuring accuracy and safety in the control process.

Da Nang International Airport is also the first airport in Vietnam to complete 100% automation from check-in to baggage check-in, immigration procedures and boarding gates.

Ms. Pham Thi Minh Loan - Head of Logistics Department, Immigration Department, Ministry of Public Security - said that deploying the automatic control gate system is part of the digital transformation trend, applying technology to the field of immigration management, helping to increase the efficiency of inspection, control and handling of immigration procedures for passengers.

Previously, in August 2023, at Da Nang International Airport, the Immigration Department put into operation 4 automatic immigration control gates and 2 registration counters. During the operation, the unit coordinated with the contractor to adjust, fix and upgrade the system to better meet the needs of immigration inspection and control.

“The acceptance and implementation of the automatic immigration control gate system this time will contribute to simplifying immigration procedures, shortening and saving time for passengers, reducing pressure on authorities and bringing a convenient experience to Vietnamese citizens and foreigners when entering and exiting Vietnam,” said Ms. Loan.
