India’s Fast Track Immigration–Trusted Traveller Programme (FTI-TTP) is transforming international travel by allowing eligible passengers to bypass long immigration queues using automated e-gates.
The facility is currently available at 13 major airports, including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Kochi, with plans for further expansion.
Who is eligible?
The programme is open to Indian citizens, OCI cardholders, and select foreign nationals with a clean immigration record.
How to register?
Applicants must apply online through the official portal, upload documents like passport and address proof, and complete biometric verification at designated centres or airports.
How it works at airports
Once approved, travellers can use dedicated e-gates, where their passport, boarding pass, and biometrics are scanned for quick clearance—often in seconds.
Why it matters
The system reduces waiting time, improves efficiency, and aligns India with global standards in smart border management, especially for frequent international travellers.
Overall, the initiative marks a major step toward digitising and modernising India’s immigration process, making travel faster and more seamless.
