This week Sydney Airport’s Arrivals SmartGates were permanently opened to eligible Chinese, Hong Kong, Macau, Japanese, Korean, French and Swedish ePassport holders.
Arrivals SmartGate uses the information in ePassports and facial recognition technology to perform checks usually conducted by an Australian Border Force officer, enabling travellers to self-process through passport control.
The opening of SmartGates to more ePassport holders marks a significant expansion, increasing permanent use to 13 eligible countries, plus the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau. This milestone marks another step in significant progress towards delivering streamlined and simplified border experiences for international visitors to NSW.
