Notice from the Fukuoka Airport Branch Office of the Fukuoka Immigration Bureau (regarding the temporary suspension of facial recognition gates)

Due to the relocation of the immigration inspection area in connection with the expansion work at Fukuoka Airport's international terminal, the operation of the "facial recognition gates" will be temporarily suspended as follows:

Immigration counter: From Monday, March 17th to Thursday, March 27th
Immigration inspection area: From Wednesday, March 19th to Thursday, March 27th
*Only customers with Japanese passports can pass through the immigration inspection area.

Please be aware that during this period, immigration inspectors will conduct procedures in person.
Passengers planning to depart during this period are advised to complete boarding and immigration procedures early, as congestion is expected particularly at immigration counters.
