Dubai has launched “Click and Travel”, a mobile immigration service that allows passport officers to complete passenger entry and exit procedures in approximately 12 to 15 seconds. The General Directorate of Identity and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA Dubai) officially launched the service on Monday, September 7, as part of efforts to speed up passenger processing and reduce congestion at Dubai airports, especially during peak periods and emergencies. The announcement was made during a media briefing at Dubai International Airport, which was attended by Director General Lieutenant General Mohammed Ahmed Al Marri, Assistant Director General for Airport Affairs Major General Talal Ahmed Al Shanqiti and other senior officials. One click – then click “Add” on Google The service uses fingerprint biometrics, facial recognition and e-passport reading, as well as automated pre-checks and secure access to passenger information. The mobile system allows passport officers to complete immigration procedures in airport terminals rather than relying solely on fixed counters. This allows officers to process passengers in different locations if necessary. More than 31,000 passengers were processed during the tests The service went through several pilot phases before its official launch, with the agency reporting 31,373 passenger movements between May and the end of August 2026. The first pilot project started in October 2025 at Terminal 3 of Dubai International Airport. The second phase began in May 2026 and expanded the trial to all categories of passengers in Dubai Airport terminals. The tests were conducted to evaluate the system’s performance and prepare it for wider use before official implementation. Available to citizens, residents and guests Click and Travel is available to UAE nationals, residents, GCC nationals and visitors to the GCC. The service adds a mobile officer-operated option to Dubai’s existing biometric immigration infrastructure, which includes smart gates and other automated passport control systems at Dubai International Airport. The launch comes as DXB continues to serve high volumes of passengers. Dubai Airports reported 31.5 million passengers at the airport in the first half of 2026.
