Blink and you’re in. Macau launching iris scan immigration for Hongkongers this week

Hongkongers travelling to Macau can speed up immigration clearance using an eye scan starting this week.

Authorities in the gaming hub said on Monday eligibility for its iris recognition immigration clearance had been extended to Hong Kong permanent residents who had registered for its automated passenger clearance service.

Eligible Hongkongers can begin using the service from noon on Wednesday.

Eighty-one iris recognition channels have been installed at six Macau border checkpoints: the Border Gate, Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, airport, Taipa Ferry Terminal, Outer Harbour Ferry Terminal and Inner Harbour Ferry Terminal.

Of these, 71 are equipped with second-generation recognition devices, featuring enhanced face-tracking functions, larger screens and improved voice guidance.

Hong Kong permanent residents aged 18 or above can register their iris biometrics when using channels equipped with the registration function for the first time. The process takes about 25 seconds.
