Skip the Lines: Mumbai Airport’s New Fast-Track Immigration for Indian Travelers
Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) has introduced the Fast-Track Immigration – Trusted Traveller Programme (FTI-TTP) to expedite immigration procedures for Indian nationals and Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) cardholders. This initiative, part of a broader rollout across major Indian airports, aims to provide a seamless and secure travel experience.
Enrollment Process and Benefits
To participate in FTI-TTP, travelers must register online through the official portal
The registration process includes submitting personal details, uploading necessary documents, and verifying contact information via mobile and email. Once registered, applicants can schedule an appointment for biometric enrollment, which can be completed at designated international airports or Foreigners Regional Registration Offices (FRROs) across India.
Membership in the program is valid for five years or until the passport’s expiry, whichever comes first. Upon successful enrollment, travelers can utilize dedicated e-gates at participating airports.
