Thailand Introduces New Security System At All Airports

Thailand has introduced a new security procedure, the Advance Passenger Processing System (APPS), at six main international airports from 1 December, 2015, and plans to roll out to 32 airports nationwide over the course of 2016. Airports included in the initial stage are Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Hat Yai and Mae Fa Luang Chiang Rai International Airports. The move forms part of on-going improvements to Thailand’s security systems, to ensure that local and international travellers can traverse the kingdom’s main gateways safely. The APPS allows immigration officials to run instant background checks on inbound travellers, based on their passport information. Personal and visa details will be checked against a list of blacklisted or banned individuals.
