Simplifying Pilgrim Data Processing
Traditional data entry processes can take up to 10 minutes per pilgrim, often causing delays and increasing the likelihood of transcription errors. Passport scanners address these issues by automatically capturing all essential information from travel documents within a matter of seconds. These devices can read printed details, MRZ (Machine Readable Zone) data, and even digital information stored in e-passport chips, thereby ensuring complete accuracy and full compliance with Saudi visa systems such as MOFA, Ehaj, Bab Umrah, and Way To Umrah.
