<h1>Airport operator to replace paper arrival cards with online arrival form from Oct 1, shifting data collection to digital platform</h1> An airport operator will introduce an electronic arrival card system for foreign travellers from Oct 1 under the national immigration authority's oversight, replacing paper arrival cards with an online form usable up to three days before arrival. Legally, the change shifts data collection and retention to a digital platform, raising compliance obligations under immigration, data protection and records-retention rules and requiring secure transmission to immigration authorities. The system is intended to streamline processing, reduce queues and paper use and aligns with prior trusted-traveller initiatives for expedited entry for certain passport categories.
