J: John I: Immigration Officer
John is taking a flight at Taoyuan Airport and is about to go through immigration. An immigration officer guides him to use the e-Gate, which John is not familiar with.
J: Excuse me, I’ve never used the e-Gate before. How does it work?
I: It’s a quick and simple process. First, place your passport face down on the reader. The system will read your information and open the first gate.
J: Do I need to remove anything before stepping in?
I: Yes, please take off anything covering your face, such as glasses or a mask. Then, the system will verify your facial image.
J: What should I do if the verification fails?
I: If you registered your fingerprints before, you can use them for verification.
約翰要在桃園機場搭機並即將接受出境檢查。一名移民官引導約翰使用他不熟悉的自動查驗通關系統。
約 翰: 不好意思,我以前從來沒有用過自動查驗通關系統。它是如何運作的?
移民官: 這個過程快速又簡單。首先,將您的護照照片資料頁朝下放在讀取機上。系統將讀取您的資訊並打開第一道閘門。
約 翰: 進去之前我需要脫掉什麼東西嗎?
移民官: 需要,請取下遮蓋您臉部的任何物品,例如眼鏡或口罩。然後,系統將會驗證您的臉部影像。
約 翰: 如果驗證失敗怎麼辦?
移民官: 如果您之前有登記指紋特徵,可以使用它們來做驗證。
