By the second quarter of 2009 CARICOM nationals should expect to have further hassle free movement at ports of entry within the Caribbean Region, with the implementation of the CARICOM Travel Card (CARIPASS). The proposed implementation of CARIPASS was the main focus of discussion at a recent 3 day meeting of the Regional Chiefs of Immigration and Comptrollers of Customs in St. Georges, Grenada. The Travel Card which was approved by the 29th CARICOM Conference of Heads of Government in July 2008, is a voluntary regime which will allow eligible CARICOM Nationals and legal residents to clear Immigration using designated electronic gates in Immigration halls.
