The Australian Ambassador to the Federated States of Micronesia has launched a new computerised border management system for the FSM.
A government press release says the new system networks the National Immigration Office in Palikir, the four states' immigration offices, the four International Airports and patrol ships.
It's intended to strengthen border security by providing computerised recording of all movements through the FSM Airports; verification of all arrivals and departures; maintenance of traveller alert list; and identification of overstayers.
Other benefits include improved passenger processing times and national statistics to assist tourism and government planning.
