The registration process for the E-gate Project at the Khalidiyah Mall Center began today. The registration is applicable for citizens of the UAE and the GCC, residents, and individuals who have an entry visa (from the port). Registrations will continue until next Thursday.
Major Mohammad Ahmad Al Zaabi, Director of the E-port Project, stated that registration was strong on the first day, saying that it began at 10 a.m. and concludes at 10 p.m. He further noted that it is free-of-charge.
He added that those wishing to register should bring their passports. The Ministry of Interior has allocated special counters for women; there are other counters for individuals with special needs at the Abu Dhabi Mall Center. Emirati citizens have a separate counter, and there are three counters for residents and visitors.
He said that the project simplifies travel procedures through the country’s ports and streamlines travelers’ entry and exit by leveraging the eye and face scan, and the passport reader.
