then you don't need to come to Singapore. their country their rules
At the moment it sounds optional, so that’s a plus.
Also:
So, 15s saved per person. Which is handy, but 25 seconds fits squarely in the “blazing fast” category anyway.
Bet the people will spend more than 15s per person dealing with the ramifications of their biometric data getting leaked and used against them later though.
I was there on transit hall couple of months ago and on the arrival hall everything is paperless already and all the paperwork can be done via phone or tablet. EDIT: as long as your device have a proper modern web browser. everything can be done easily.
Paperless doesn’t necessarily require biometric data… still, I’ll just skip Singapore.
