For a faster and more secure border crossing
Acoording to IATA (International Air Transport Association), as of 2023, most regions are already at - or exceeding - pre-pandemic levels in terms of demand for air travel. And a growth of 3% per year is expected, quickly increasing the number of air travelers.
To make access to your country more secure and smooth, we recommend replacing traditional stamps with self-adhesive visas that offer a higher level of security, are machine-readable, and comply with ICAO and/or Schengen Area recommendations.

Secure your travel documents
We work jointly with the best national and international experts (Border polices, Interpol, IATA, ICAO...). We define with them the solutions to face the evolution of identity and document fraud. We select and combine state-of-the-art security features that will protect the travelers' data, based on the pre-determined security profile, available personalisation equipment, time, and financial imperatives.
