This indicates as if I have a number of trips to AMS in your mind over the next year with Immigration lines being extremely lengthy there sometimes, I decided to get their paid-for-use Iris scanning entry system – Privium.
Their offering is available in two 'flavours' – a slimmer version at EUR121 plus the full version at EUR199, every year. There is no sign-up monetary fee, but you have to get your card and have your retina scanned one on one in Amsterdam. The benefits associated with each membership level are shown below:
Once you have selected the version that you would like, you need to supply your details for the Privium web site. You might receive an email confirming your application and two days later you can actually call and schedule a meeting. I did this, and after arriving beginning I was still seen straightaway.
The slightly tricky thing is a location of the lay. It is between Halls 1 and 2 at Schipol. The escalators and lifts that supply you with from the train station come out in order that you have your back on the lounge. However, after a moment I found it!
You go down a pair of flights of wide picket stairs and arrive in a very space-age looking lounge. The Reception desk is immediately while in front of you
The staff on requirement located my application and took me to this Immigration staff who are located right at the end of the lounge:
These people check your passport together with confirm your card. Once this is accomplished the lounge staff get back to scan your retinas, update the card which holds all your personal data. You can use a practise machine if you'd like to try the card. One this done you come back to the desk, pay your fee and become your card. Also you obtain a welcome pack explaining the results, a nice 2GB USB Key and a key ring.
One of the benefits of the lounge (only available with the EUR199 version), is which you can use it when travelling and contains direct access to both the Schengen and non-Schengen features of the airport. More about this tomorrow.
