To be granted entry, the traveler must present his fingerprint or put his hand on the biometrics reading device and insert his card into the reader. The system then compares the features captured from the device to features recorded in the chip using specific matching algorithms. If there is a match between both patterns, the traveler is allowed to enter the country. The smart visa is especially useful for trans-border workers who enter and exit the country on a daily basis. Used as a border crossing card, it helps to smooth traffic at peak hours.
