Fast Track Immigration Programme Expands Across India

Bangalore, India – November 2025:
The Government of India has announced the expansion of the Fast Track Immigration–Trusted Traveller Programme (FTI‑TTP) to five additional major airports, aiming to significantly reduce immigration processing times for pre-verified travelers. Launched under the Bureau of Immigration, this initiative is part of India’s broader push to enhance airport infrastructure, streamline travel procedures, and improve passenger experience for both business and leisure travelers.

The programme targets frequent international travelers, government officials, and business professionals who require faster processing during arrivals and departures. By leveraging advanced biometric and identity verification technology, FTI‑TTP ensures a smoother, quicker, and more secure clearance process.

What This Means for Travelers

Enrolled travelers under FTI‑TTP enjoy priority clearance at immigration counters, significantly cutting down wait times. For business travelers, this means they can reach meetings, conferences, or international assignments without unnecessary delays. Similarly, tourists and family travelers can experience a stress-free airport experience, spending more time enjoying their destinations rather than waiting in long immigration queues.

For Indian residents frequently traveling abroad for work or personal reasons, the programme is particularly valuable. It enables efficient time management, reduces stress, and ensures compliance with immigration protocols. International travelers arriving in India also benefit from streamlined verification, improving overall passenger flow in busy airports.

Advantages for Business and Migration Clients

For clients considering international relocation, work assignments, or long-term migration, the FTI‑TTP presents tangible benefits. Companies sponsoring employees for overseas assignments can rely on faster processing for travel documentation, ensuring projects are not delayed due to immigration queues. Similarly, families planning relocation can minimize uncertainty and better coordinate arrival times.

XIPHIAS Immigration advises clients that enrollment in FTI‑TTP may also provide strategic advantages for frequent travelers navigating multiple international destinations. By reducing processing time at airports, clients can plan efficient travel schedules, save on costs related to delays, and focus on business priorities or relocation logistics.
