East Midlands Airport Arrivals
Passport Control
When arriving at EMA, passengers will be required to go through standard passport and immigration control procedures. Separate lanes are provided for E.U. and non-EU passengers, while automated passports gates offer the convenience for those with ePassports to bypass lengthy queues.
ePassport Gates
Border Force is authorized to delivering effective, secure, and efficient border controls by using new technology to assist the process. An automated gate system is used in the Arrivals Hall at the airport for passengers with a unique style ePassport. It uses facial recognition technology to allow travelers through the border without seeing a Border Force Representative. Eligible travelers will be holders of an ePassport, which contains a chip and logo on the front cover. This includes EU/EEA citizens, British citizens, and Swiss nationals aged 12 years and over (if accompanied by an adult, passengers must be over 18 if not accompanied). No application form or registration is required. Non-EEA nationals are also welcome to use the gates if they are registered, travelers. The Border Force team monitors the entrances.
Customs and Immigration
Passengers should be aware that all commuters are required to pass through Customs and Immigration. Border Force defends the border and promotes national prosperity by aiding the legitimate movement of people and goods while blocking those that may cause harm from entering the U.K.
Baggage Claim
After going through Passport Control, passengers will enter the Baggage Reclaim hall, which is where they will collect their checked-in luggage. Travelers can check the information screens to see which carousel they need to go.
