Bangladesh is evaluating a proposal from Securiport to modernize its immigration and border management systems using biometric identity verification. The Ministry of Affairs has requested a detailed technical and financial proposal by October 22. The proposed system aims to automate passenger screening against Interpol databases and domestic watchlists, potentially flagging security risks before travelers arrive. The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs approved the pursuit of this proposal on September 9, and a steering committee has been formed to assess it. Key concerns include data ownership, cybersecurity, and technology transfer, with guarantees sought before any agreement is finalized. The discussions are currently in preliminary stages, and the government is revisiting earlier plans for Advance Passenger Information Systems (APIS).
