What if your border started at the traveler's front door?
SITA Travel Authorization gives governments the tools to screen, verify, and authorize travelers digitally and handles payment facilitation end-to-end — before a single passport is stamped.
Replaces manual, error-prone border processes with digital travel authorization
SITA Travel Authorization digitizes the pre-travel process, so governments can screen, assess, and pre-authorize travelers before they ever leave home. Biometric identity verification, intelligent risk assessment, and automated eligibility checks make for a faster, more secure, and more cost-efficient border.
Exceptions are caught before boarding. Officers are free to focus on what matters at the border. And governments get the early intelligence needed to secure their borders and drive national prosperity.
Pre-approve travelers with ease and confidence
ETA and eVisa approvals run biometric checks, watchlist screening, and risk profiling in advance.
Stop identity fraud with trusted biometric verification
Confirm applicants’ identities with NFC passport chip reading, biometric selfies, and liveness checks.
Reduce arrival queues by pre-clearing travelers digitally
Pre-authorized travelers move faster, freeing officers to focus on high-risk cases over manual routines.
Grow tourism and GDP with a simpler entry experience
Replace embassy visits with a mobile application, making your border a driver of economic growth.
From application to authorization — fully digital, fully in your control
- An automated ETA workflow screens visa-exempt travelers against watchlists, eligibility rules, and risk profiles — issuing 96% of authorizations automatically, with manual review reserved for exceptions.
- A full eVisa management system handles online applications, document uploads, digital payments, and case adjudication end-to-end, eliminating the need for physical embassy visits.
- NFC passport chip reading and biometric liveness checks verify that the person applying is the legitimate document holder, capturing high-quality identity data before departure.
- A smart eligibility wizard guides travelers to the correct authorization type at the start of the application, reducing errors and cutting the cost of mis-filed submissions for immigration teams.
