- On March 5, 2025, Palau and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) initiated an e-passport project sponsored by Japan with about USD 4.5 million. The three-year project will improve Palau's border management and passport security through the use of electronic, machine-readable passports (e-MRPs) containing biometric chips. The project will replace Palau's passport application and issuance process, and it will pilot-test. Japan's Ambassador to Palau and the officials of IOM emphasized that cooperation was required to ensure the effective implementation of the new system for increased border security and management of identity.
- Ghana will introduce its national e-passport scheme on April 28, 2025, as part of a process aimed at modernizing the passport system. The new e-passports, with chip-embedded microchips carrying biometric and photograph-based information, come with more than 100 sophisticated security features to thwart forgery. These include nanotechnology and polycarbonate pages. The initiative is consistent with ICAO requirements and involves extended services like 24-hour operations, electronic tracking, and home delivery. The fee reduction is designed to enhance accessibility, as well as decentralization of services to all 16 regions.
- In October 2024, India plans to extend its DigiYatra program to overseas travel by June 2025. Currently active at 24 domestic airports, DigiYatra facilitates contactless airport entry and security clearance through facial recognition technology. The international pilot project, scheduled to be launched next, will enable passengers to securely carry their identity and travel documents on a mobile platform, obviating the need for physical inspection of IDs. Moreover, there are plans to implement e-passports for Indian outbound travelers to improve the hassle-free travel experience. This will enable easier airport processes and increase efficiency for domestic as well as international travelers.
