No barriers for 50,000 users of new ‘seamless’ e-channels at mega bridge
Hong Kong's Immigration Department is launching new "seamless" e-channels at the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge starting June 25. These channels will utilize facial recognition technology to allow eligible frequent travelers to pass through immigration in approximately five seconds without needing to stop or present identification. Approximately 50,000 regular users, who have made at least 10 crossings in the past 90 days, are expected to be eligible for this new system. AI
