Ghanaian travelers have expressed their satisfaction with the newly installed E-Gates at Terminal 3 of Kotoka International Airport (KIA) in Accra.

These advanced systems mark a significant milestone in Ghana’s digitization agenda.

The introduction of the E-Gates, which are accessible through the Ghana Card, has garnered praise for its efficiency in streamlining the immigration process.

A video shared on X by a user on January 1, 2025, shows travelers lauding the government for the initiative.

One traveler remarked, "The government has done well. Although people have criticized Vice President Dr. Bawumia’s digitization agenda, the E-Gates are really helpful. They speed up processes at KIA. Now we don’t have to pay money here again, and there are no queues."

Another traveler described the experience as "very fast, just a microsecond," while a first-time user expressed excitement, saying, "It is very perfect. This is my first time using it, and I am very, very happy. Thank you to whoever did this."

The system has been implemented in the arrivals section of the airport, eliminating the need for traditional immigration checks.

It provides travelers with a seamless and efficient entry process, underscoring the government’s commitment to enhancing convenience and leveraging technology to modernize key services.
