China News Service, April 25. According to Argentine Chinese.com, Argentina’s Minister of the Interior, De Pedro, announced through a social network that the Argentine Immigration Bureau will cancel the practice of stamping passports when entering and leaving the country and replace it with digital registration.
The measure is planned to be implemented from the 25th and aims to improve the time and safety of entry and exit procedures.
Depedro explained that the decision will simplify the process of entering and leaving customs by digitizing entry and exit records, thereby eliminating the physical stamp on passports.
In addition, Carignano, director of the Argentine Immigration Bureau, also explained in response to the consultation on the Internet, "From April 25th, we will begin to implement it at air and sea border crossings, and then gradually implement it at land border crossings."
In this case, travelers "will be able to complete the process faster because immigration registration is simplified, traveler waiting time is shortened, it is simpler, costs are reduced, and it is safer because the risk of fraud is reduced and remove the administrative burden.”
Authorities said the measure was followed by some other countries.
