September 21, 20215 yr From Bangkok Post The Advance Passenger Processing System (APPS) is being upgraded to check incoming air passengers for their health documentation ahead of their arrival as the country is set to reopen to international tourism starting next month, according to the Airports of Thailand (AoT). AoT president Nitinai Sirismatthakarn told a talk programme on Tuesday a similar system has been in place to single out people with criminal records as a means of heightening border security. The APPS allows customs officials, airport and airline staff and immigration police to obtain the profiles of passengers from their countries of origin. They are able to check if passengers are blacklisted or banned from leaving a country. Authorities share passenger information and passengers whose profiles are clean will be able to pass immigration checks faster, according to the AoT. Now, the system is being used to run checks on incoming passengers for their health certification and whether they meet vaccination requirements. The APPS meets global standards in its capability to verify the authenticity of vaccination certificates. The AoT expects passenger traffic across six airports it supervises nationwide to pick up from next month when key tourist destinations open their doors again. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2185459/passenger-processing-system-to-check-arrivals-health-info
