The purpose of the integration of Vision-Box advanced technology was to enhance border security in Tanzania. How?

They are capable of identifying fraudulent travel documents such as passports, visas and identity cards, as well as detect identity fraud by travelers trying to enter or stay in the country irregularly. The solution matches the information contained in the travel document against the live face image capture of the traveler to guarantee a reliable traveler identification.

The Vision-Box-developed solutions (vision-box.com) are at use at two of the busiest Tanzania airports, the Kilimanjaro International Airport, in northern Tanzania serving the cities of Arusha and Moshi, and Julius Nyerere International Airport in the largest city Dar es Salaam.
