Why do Sri Lankan passports fail to scan at e-gates at international airports?
Colombo, Feb. 3 (Daily Mirror) - Several local passengers have brought to the attention of the Daily Mirror that the Sri Lankan passport usually fails to scan in the e-gates at immigration departments at international airports, and Sri Lankan passengers are then diverted to the immigration counter for a manual check.
When inquired about this, the Immigration and Emigration Officers’ Association President Jude Fernando said the Sri Lankan passport was not an e-passport and was instead a machine-readable passport, which may result in scanning errors in international airports.
However, he said that these international airports had not raised any concerns or lodged any complaints with the Sri Lankan authorities over this matter.
