ETA system will alleviate unemployment: Ramaphosa
The Electronic Travel Authorisation is fully digital and uses biometrics and facial recognition.
President Cyril Ramaphosa has announced the rollout of the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) system at OR Tambo International Airport in Kempton Park, East Rand. This new digital system, which replaces the outdated paper-based visa process, utilizes biometrics and facial recognition technology. According to Ramaphosa, the ETA is poised to significantly reduce unemployment by facilitating increased investment and travel to South Africa.
He emphasized that every reform should aim to create work and expand opportunities for South Africans. Ramaphosa believes that the ETA will lead to more hotel bookings, fuller restaurants, more tour operators employed, increased flights, more conferences, greater exports, and more job opportunities for South Africans.
