Pasu kontrolē ir trīs zīmes: 1) personām, kas nav ES pilsoņi, 2) tikai ES pilsoņiem un 3) tikai ES pilsoņiem, taču ar priekšroku diplomātiskajam personālam un lidojuma apkalpes locekļiem. Pilsoņiem no lielākās daļas valstu nav nepieciešama vīza, lai ieceļotu valstī, taču jūs to varat šeit pārbaudīt. Salīdzinot ar citām ES lidostām, pasu kontrole reizēm var būt diezgan lēna (tā visticamāk varētu gadīties, ja jūs ierodaties maksimālās noslodzes laikā, no 10:00 līdz 14:00). Pasu kontrolē ir 12 vārti, taču parasti tie ne visi tiek vienlaicīgi apkalpoti. Kopumā drošības sistēma Prāgas lidostā ir stingra, taču efektīva.
Ja jūs ierodaties no Šengenas zonas (visi lidojumi uz/no 2. termināļa), pasu kontrole nav jāiziet. Vairums ES valstu patreiz ir daļa no Šengenas zonas (izņemot Apvienoto Karalisti).
Prāgas lidostas elektroniskie drošības vārti (E-Gate)
Prāgas lidosta piedāvā ceļotājiem iespēju veikt automātisku pases kontroli, izmantojot tā saukto „E-Gate”. Izmantojot Easy Go tehnoloģiju, jaunās iekārtas ļauj Eiropas Savienības, Eiropas Ekonomiskās zonas un Šveices pilsoņiem izmantot pašapkalpošanās kontroli, ja persona ir biometriskās pases turētāja, kas vecāka par 18 gadiem. No sākuma līdz pat beigām viss kontroles process caur E-Gate aizņem 12 – 20 sekundes. Jaunās tehnoloģijas izmantošana būtiski palielinās lidostas pase kontroles caurlaidspēju. E-Gate ir pieejami pasažieriem, kuri ielido 1. terminālī (pasažieriem, kas ielido 2. terminālī, nav nepieciešams iziet imigrācijas kontroli, jo visi lidojumi ir no Šengenas zonas).
Automated Border Control System (E-gate)
What is EasyGO?
EasyGO is an automated border control system, which allows easy and quick passage through border control with the use of biometric gates. It’s available for passengers on the departure and arrival halls of Terminal 1 of Vaclav Havel Airport Prague. Passengers are welcome to try and see that electronic gates are a modern, elegant and pleasant way for passing the border.
Who can use EasyGO?
EasyGO can be used by all passengers possessing a new type of travel document containing electronic chip, who are older than 15 years and are using a passport issued by one of the EU countries, Switzerland or EEA countries.
How do I recognize an electronic travel document?
An electronic travel document is a personal document that contains chip with your biometric data (facial image and finger mom
prints).
How to use EasyGO?
It’s easy. Insert the travel document into the reader located at the entrance of the biometrical gate. Put the page with a photograph face down on the glass of the reader. After reading the data from travel document, the entry gate opens. Enter the gate and stand on the position marked with white feet stickers. Look straight into the camera and do not move. Border control will be completed in matter of seconds. On the screen in front of you, the pictogram with the border check appears and the exit door of the gate opens. You have passed the border control successfully, please leave the gate.
How to avoid complications during border control?
If system detects any discrepancy, pictograms on the screen will guide the passenger to manual police check. It means it is not possible to recognize securely the face of the passenger and compare it to the photograph saved in the chip of the travel document. This might be caused by a face covered with a hat, scarf, sunglasses etc. The system also signals a discrepancy when the traveler has glasses on his face and not on the photograph or men photographed with a distinct beard, but passing the biometrical gate without any beard, and vice versa.
Are there any health risks?
No. The device does not present a health risk to passengers. It does not emit any kind of radiation, only does a passive detection. The biometric camera is a common camera used for taking live pictures the same way as you use the camera in your notebook or mobile phone.
