Visa on arrival system

The CETIS visa system guarantees the highest level of security and simplifies all steps in the process of visa issuance; from the issuance backend (including an on-line portal), data capture, visa issuance and border control check. It is particularly appreciated by frequent travellers.

It consists of a central IT system and communication infrastructure which connects the central system with the state system. It connects consulates in various countries and all external border controls, which allows an exchange of information related to visas, along with biometric matching for identification and verification. The officials can also check how many foreigners enter the country, what type of visa they hold and the duration of that visa (validity period).

Visa issuing system

CETIS offers a fully centralised solution which includes:

• Central register of foreigners (visa database)
• AFIS (Automatic Fingerprint Identification System)
• Visa application
• Visa on-line pre-enrolment
• Visa backup servers

All key locations are securely connected within the SOA infrastructure using web services.

The visa approval service can be either completely separated or integrated and at the discretion of the embassy and consulate employees.

Each visa is numbered and unique, which is necessary for traceability. The visa system tracks each visa and the blanks by the placement of an issue and/or by date. Each visa issuing location has features integrated into the visa personalisation software. The software manages stock and keeps a record of each visa produced.

The state supervision over the Visa payments is a standard feature and as a result of this implementation the issuing country has better control.

Visa data capture

CETIS offers a visa on-line pre-enrolment solution which is connected to the payment processing platform. A complete solution can be provided: from computer systems, equipment for visa issuance at embassies and consulates to border control integration:

• Desktop or web based data capture (enrolment)
• Fingerprint data capture using single or multiple fingers
• Photo data capture
• Signature data capture using electronic signature pad device
