The days of lengthy immigration formalities at Dhaka airport will soon be over as 27 electronic gates are set to become operational from June 7.

The government will start distribution of electronic passport (e-passport) with 10 years’ validity from July 1 this year to ease the immigration process, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan says.

The Directorate of Immigration and Passport signs a deal with Veridos GmbH, a German company, to inaugurate E-passport service in the country.
