This partnership enables airlines to automatically verify a passenger’s visa during ticket booking or online check-in using VRC’s global validation API. The collaboration addresses one of the aviation industry’s biggest challenges — passengers being denied boarding due to expired or invalid visas.

Early tests conducted with Emirates, Qatar Airways, and Singapore Airlines show that the integration reduces check-in times by 35% and prevents administrative delays during boarding.

VRC’s Executive Secretary, Mr. Richard Blomfield, stated, “Our partnership with IATA brings governments, airlines, and passengers onto one connected platform. It makes international travel not only faster but safer.”

This development is expected to significantly improve the travel experience for millions of passengers annually while strengthening compliance and border security for partner governments.
