SmartGate is an automated border processing system used by the Australian and New Zealand customs service. The system gives eligible travellers the option to self-process through passport control. SmartGate uses the data in ePassport and face recognition technology to perform the customs and immigration checks usually conducted by a customs officer.
Singapore has been added to the list of countries in which their nationals who are holders of ePassport can access the SmartGate automatic border processing. Other eligible countries include Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, United States of America, Switzerland and Ireland.
