BI to deploy more e-gates in airports outside NCR by 2026
The Bureau of Immigration (BI) plans to install 47 electronic gates in international airports across the Philippines, following the successful implementation at Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
A contract worth at least P1.5 billion has been signed with travel technology company Amadeus for the acquisition of these e-gates and 57 biometric devices for manned counters.
The BI will upgrade and roll out its biometric immigration electronic gates (e-gates) in other international airports outside of Metro Manila starting in 2026 to strengthen border control and passenger facilitation.
This initiative aims to modernize government services, enhance efficiency, and create a more secure and traveler-friendly border management system, in line with the Bagong Pilipinas envisioned by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
