Passport Scanning

Scan the passport, the record is ready

In peak season, typing hundreds of passports into the system one by one takes hours and invites errors. A single wrong character in a passport number can send the work back to the start at the visa stage.

With Turasistan Reader, passport data is never typed by hand: the phone reads the passport chip via NFC and transfers the data and photo straight to the traveler record. Because the data comes from the passport's own chip, it is the most reliable way to register a traveler.

In short

Hold the passport to the phone, and the record is ready.

Traditional method vs. Turasistan

Traditional method With Turasistan
Passport data is typed in field by field Data is read from the passport chip via NFC
The passport photo is scanned and uploaded separately Data and photo are transferred to the record together
Typos only surface at the visa stage Accurate data from the start, and the visa transfer runs on it
Package and room are entered separately after registration Package and room type are selected during the transfer
The traveler has to bring the passport to the office A passport photo sent by the traveler is added from the gallery
A desktop reader device is required An NFC-enabled phone is enough
