Very Safe Airport Posted by on June 16, 2018

Autogates are not enough for the airport.They also do a physical check of your passport.

If you're hoping for a quick trip through Customs/Immigration think on!! Unless things have changed greatly in the last couple of years be prepared for a couple of hours wait!! ...... and declare EVERYTHING!!
