| US Visit | A US entry/exit system which saves data from all travellers who require a visa to enter the US. Biometric data is captured in the form of a photo and two fingerprints. Also recorded are name, gender, date of birth, nationality, passport number, place of issue, home address, visa number, data of issue and place of issue, registration number (if already assigned during a previous visit) and the address during the stay in the US. Exit is documented by comparing the stored biometric data and the passport. Various US authorities have access to the data, particularly immigration, border and police authorities, as well as consular offices. The data is taken directly from travellers. |
