Singapore Airlines advises that visitors leaving the US via Newark and San Francisco airports will now have to self-record their exits under the US-Visit Exit Program. In San Francisco, passengers will have to use one of several US-VISIT Exit Program self-service kiosks located in the sterile departure area to record their exit. Passengers and crew will have to: • scan their US visa (preferred) or passport • scan their left index finger • scan their right index finger • have a digital picture taken and • collect a receipt At Newark airport, they will be required to undergo the same processes from mobile devices operated by Work Station Attendants. It is the responsibility of each visitor to record his or her departure from the US. Passengers should keep their receipt as proof that they have recorded their exit. The above procedure will not apply to US and Canadian citizens, and US Permanent Residents.
