US EditionNo passport required as departures from Singapore airport set for 'seamless' travel from 2024
- Singapore's Changi Airport will introduce an automated immigration clearance system by 2024, allowing travelers to depart without presenting physical travel documents. Biometric data, such as fingerprint scans and facial recognition, will replace passports, creating a more seamless travel experience.
- Changi Airport aims to manage its growing volume of travelers efficiently and provide a positive clearance experience by implementing biometrics as a single token of authentication. This new system will also make Singapore one of the first countries in the world to introduce such changes.

Many airports worldwide, including London Heathrow and Paris Charles de Gaulle, already utilize biometric gates. The expansion of Changi Airport and the implementation of the biometric system are expected to improve passenger flows, preparing for a return to pre-pandemic levels of air traffic.
