Belize Immigration Systems Meet International Standards
posted (July 7, 2017)
The UN Migration Agency sent out a release this week saying that an important upgrade to Belize's Border management system is complete.

It's an upgrade of the recently installed PIRS/MIDAS computerized border information management system - which they use in those immigration kiosks at all points of entry and exit.

The IOM says this system is compliant with international standards and is currently operational in 19 countries. They adds that "It also enables the production of real-time reporting over the 1.5 million border transactions per year in Belize."

The release also notes that the "software for the pre-security screening at the international airport through Advance Passenger Information Systems, and the registration of Residents Permit and other permits and VISAS is now in place." It adds that "The new system has an enhanced connection to Interpol screening systems to identify persons of interest under various categories."
