Swiss citizens with their Swiss passports benefit from a unique advantage in this situation, avoiding queues and simplifying travel upon arrival in Schengen countries. ##### Cutting-Edge Technology in Airports Smartgates represent a breakthrough in airport immigration. These advanced systems, based on biometrics and artificial intelligence, allow registered travelers to pass through passport control and immigration quickly, eliminating queues and delays. The process is simple: the traveler inserts their passport into the reader, which verifies their identity through a facial scan or fingerprints. If the data matches the passport, the gate opens, allowing passage. ##### Advantages for Swiss Citizens Swiss citizens with a Swiss passport, while not being part of the EU, benefit from the Schengen agreements. We can cross the borders of other member countries without a visa or traditional checks. In Schengen countries, we can use Smartgates to avoid queues and speed up immigration. ##### But How Does It Work? Upon arrival from a non-Schengen country (for example, Great Britain), by following the signs, one can reach the Smartgate. The traveler follows the instructions on the screen, which usually require a scan of the passport and the face. If the data matches, the gate opens, allowing for a quick crossing. The main advantage of Smartgates is therefore Time Saving! As they eliminate long queues at passport control, they save time upon arrival in Schengen countries. Smartgates are part of an ongoing shift in the airport experience, allowing travelers to leverage technology to cross borders efficiently.
