I just signed up for India's own version of Global entry - the Fast Track Immigration - Trusted Traveller Program available to Indian citizens and Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) cardholders. This is going to be a blessing for frequent fliers like me. Here is a step by step guide: Step 1 - Sign up by entering your mobile phone number and OTP received thereafter at ftittp.mha.gov.in/ Step 2 - Verify your email by generating an OTP and setup a password thereafter. Step 3 - Login with your email and password. You will arrive at this main screen. Step 4 - Click on 'Apply Online'. It will ask you to pick if you are an Indian citizen or an OCI cardholder. Step 5 - Complete the form (as seen below for an Indian passport holder) with details as found in your passport. You will be asked where you would like to submit your biometrics. I picked the immigration check point in #Delhi - @DelhiAirport. You can do this at Immigration check points at numerous airports in India. You may also choose to do this at a Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO). Step 6 - Upload a photo along with first and last page of passport. Step 7 - Once done, you will receive confirmation by email of the same. Step 8 - This is where it gets tricky as a payment needs to be made. I tried to generate a challan and it said zero rupees. So I guess I am good to go. The application will be processed by authorities and intimation of when biometrics may be submitted will be sent by email. Please do like / repost this for the benefit of others.🙏 Also, thank you @HMOIndia for this fantastic initiative. #AvGeek #PaxEx
