Maldives Immigration has implemented a new electronic passport with 27 of the most advanced security features, which makes the Maldives ePassport one of the most secure and world leading security documents today. Every visa page of the Maldives ePassport has its own creative design, which is another unique feature of the new travel document. Furthermore, the new Maldives ePassport has a highly secure polycarbonate data page with laser engraving, which is extremely durable and secure.
In combination with the latest electronic gates for automatic border clearance, the Maldives Immigration have evolved to one of the most modern border control systems for their citizens in the world today. The new eGates automatically check passports as well as fingerprint and facial biometrics. This speeds up border control and provides more convenience to the Maldives' citizens.
