The Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram, who inaugurated the IVFRT Central Processing Office in Delhi, said that this will help in bringing more efficiency in immigration, visa and online registration of foreigners, security and other services.
The Immigration, Visa and Foreigners Registration & Tracking (IVFRT) Central Processing Office will now be the nerve centre for immigration related matters. The main activities in this office would include: Management of central advance passenger information system (APIS); technical and operational support to Missions and Immigration Check Posts (ICP); management of unique case file (UCF); management of IVFRT Central Data Centre; dedicated call centre for general public etc.
The core objective of the IVFRT project is to develop and implement a secure and integrated service delivery framework that facilitates legitimate travellers while strengthening security. It has a global outreach. This project includes 176 Indian missions abroad, 80 ICPs (Immigration Check Posts), 10 FRROs (Foreigners Regional Registration Offices), and over 650 FROs (Foreigners Registration Offices) in the state/district headquarters.
