The Cook Islands immigration has launched the 2nd generation of the ASYCUDAWorld Passenger Module (ASYPX).
Scop World reports that by doing this, the Cook Islands Immigration has reduced the passenger processing time to an average of less than 60 seconds.
The UN Trade and Development-backed ASYCUDA technologies, specifically ASYPX, are a fully integrated border management system.
ASYPX streamlines passenger processing, supports real-time data collection, enables smart logic risk management and detailed analytics and reporting, making it a powerful tool for immigration authorities to manage and analyse travel trends and arrivals.
After two years of operating the former version of ASYPX, the Cook Islands upgraded it with major enhancements to meet the immigration needs.
In preparation for the roll-out, the Cook Islands immigration team participated in an intensive training and capacity-building session in July 2025. Led by Mr. Mohammed Rizwan Khan, the Pacific Program’s ASYCUDA Expert from UN Trade and Development, the training ensured that immigration officers are fully equipped to utilise the system’s expanded capabilities and operate independently
