The Immigration Bureau of Thailand is finalising a study that seeks to provide solutions to speed up the long immigration process at Suvarnabhumi Airport, particularly within the departure section.
The transport permanent secretary Supoj Saplom told local media that they have two weeks to propose ways of improving the present system. He added that hiring more immigration officers to man the counters would be one part of the solution.
The immigration facilities at the airport have recently been over flooded by a surge in passengers. Currently, 90,000 passengers pass through the airport per day, making Suvarbhumi the 16th busiest airport in the world in 2009 based on figures from Airports Council International.
