Japan’s Justice Ministry plans to start using mobile terminals at airports that will take photos and fingerprints of foreign visitors while they are queuing for immigration in a bid to speed up procedures at the inspection desks.

All immigration processing has usually taken place at the desks so far. But with more foreigners visiting the country, the waiting time has increased at some airports, making it a pressing issue for immigration authorities, according to the ministry.

The new terminal, called the “biocart,” can send visitors’ images and fingerprints to the desk along with their passport information. It is also expected to reduce the workload of immigration officers.

The ministry plans to install the terminals at all airports with international flights. It has requested money for the equipment in the fiscal 2016 budget from next April.

According to the ministry, the longest waiting time for immigration during a half-year period from January was 36 minutes at Kansai airport in Osaka, 24 minutes at Haneda airport in Tokyo and Chubu airport in Aichi prefecture and 20 minutes at Narita airport near Tokyo.

“Depending on the person, it may only take half the time it has taken now to get through immigration,” a senior ministry official said.
