The Ministry of Home Affairs has announced that the Fast Track Immigration Trusted Traveller Programme (FTI-TTP) has been expanded to five more airports – Lucknow, Thiruvananthapuram, Trichy, Kozhikode, and Amritsar.
The program was launched in 2024 from Delhi, followed by its implementation at Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Kochi, and Ahmedabad airports. The Ministry of Home Affairs plans to further integrate the program with the upcoming Navi Mumbai and Jewar airports. It is applicable to Indian nationals, and to foreign nationals holding OCI Cards.
To enroll in this program, eligible applicants must register online on the portal by filling in their details and uploading the required documents. The biometrics of registered applicants are collected at the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) or while passing through the airport. Registered travelers need to scan their boarding pass, issued by the airline, at the e-Gate and then scan their passport. The traveler’s biometrics are verified at the e-Gates installed at arrival and departure points. Upon successful verification, the e-Gate automatically opens, and immigration clearance is granted.
