Maldives Immigration Wins IAIR Award – Innovation Leads to a Prestigious Title

Maldivian government officials, Immigration Controller General, Mr. Mohamed Anwar and Deputy Controller, Abdulla Algeen were recently awarded with an internationally recognised IAIR award. Known as one of the world’s most leading ranking systems, the IAIR award for the “Most innovative high security ePassports and eGates” was accorded to the said officials during a ceremony held on the 24th of March, 2017 in Milan, Italy. With advanced security features and durable and highly secure polycarbonate data pages inclusive of laser engraving, every page of the Maldives ePassport consists of its own creative design. The innovative eGates technology not only facilitates efficient border control but also automatically checks passports, fingerprints and biometrics. These technologies are guaranteed to facilitate smoother procedures for tourists visiting Maldives island resorts, hotels or other accommodation options including international hospitality specialists such as Naladhu Maldives. The government has implemented these innovative techniques to ensure high security and efficiency in the Maldives immigration process.
