These entrances have cameras that scan the traveller\u2019s face and compare it with the information and images provided by the ePassport embedded chip using facial recognition software. In total, 259 ePassport gates at fourteen ports of the country would be able to process the travellers from South Korea and Singapore.<\/p>\n<p>As the number of ePassport users increases by another 6.5 million this year, it was a much-awaited decision of the UK government to allow travellers from more countries to go through immigration quickly. This new development comes at a moment when the UK is leaving the European Union and establishing its own immigration systems and rules. The rise of automation at immigration points and customs indicates that the ports are already running at maximum capacity and by incorporating technology, we can increase the throughput.<\/p>\n<p>In the press release, Sajid Javid, the UK home secretary said, \u201cI&#8217;m pleased to announce today that, in addition to Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand and the US, we will be letting passengers from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelhouseuk.co.uk\/flights\/asia\/south_korea.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">South Korea<\/a> and Singapore to use ePassport gates when they visit the UK \u2013 a transformational experience for the travellers involved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He further emphasised that<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe UK is absolutely open to the rest of the world for business and as part of that, we are enhancing the experience for passengers coming into the UK.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Singaporean and South Korean nationals would now be able to check in through the ePassport gates at the immigration checkpoints.
