Definitions

  • these visas can be easily falsified for two very important reasons: a) because said visas do not have safety elements which guaran­tee that which is essential in a visa, the personalization of such a visa of the holder of the passport in a univocal manner: b) because the visa permits, at the border or immigration station of the country of destination which issues the visa, the documentary demonstration and proof that said visa corres­ponds to the holder and that there has not been any fraudulent manipulation of the same or of the passport that contains it.
  • the process in question is based on the filial data, validity and/or expiration, control sequential number and other data of the visa that each country considers pertinent, as well as the holder's photograph being integrated on special or safety paper provided with the corresponding frets, water­marks, iris, emblems, etc.
  • This is all computerized so that in the central immigration data bank of the country issuing the visa, or in the group of countries with a sole foreign border, such as the case of the European Economic Community will be, as of 1992, there is a record thereof.
  • Said process has the purpose of univocally relating the visa itself with the holder of the passport, by means of a photograph; in other words, the visa is personalized by inte­grating the photograph on the same.
  • the visa can be attained either on an independent label which is adhered to the passport it strictlyself, or else directly on the passport. In the latter case, the support of the visa-label must be of special or safety paper.
  • the photograph remains integrated on the visa, either by silver halide diffusion trasfer, or by the direct developed positive photoemulsion transfer method, or by a conventional photographic process, or by electrophotographic or photoelec­trostatic printing (laser), or else by digitalization.
  • the visa (1) either formed by a label or put direct­ly on a page of a passport, includes the corresponding safety fets and watermarks (2), which are printed on the label itself or on the page of the passport, as well as the set texts which by way of example correspond to the reference areas (3), and the variable data of the visa, such as the filial data of the owner and of his passport; validity of the visa, controls, etc.; while area (5) corresponds to the holder's photograph, and area (4) to the control number.
  • the core consists of a sheet of special or safety paper (6) with the respective designs, watermarks, frets, etc. already mentioned and referred to as (2.)
  • Said core (6) can be provided with an adhesive (7) so that it be adhered to the passport, or else the adhesive (7′) is placed on the back between a pair of paraffin sheets (8), so that first of all one of the paraffin sheets (8) will be freed to fasten the adhesive (7′) to the passport, and after­wards the other paraffin sheet (8) will be freed and the core itself (6) forming the visa or label (1) will be fastened to the adhesive (7′.)
  • the safety color printing (frets, watermarks, emblems, etc. (2), as well as the set texts, variable data (3), control number (4), etc.) is printed continuously on web in an indi­vidualized manner.
  • the core (6) of the label is deposited by impregnation by hot extrusion of a very fine layer of polyethylene (9), following application of discharge by crown effect to anchor the fastening of the same on said paper core (6.)
  • a photoemulsion layer (10) is continuously hot deposited and thus a special photographic paper which is cut to the size that it must have as the format of the visa (1) in label form is formed.
  • the photosensitive paper thus pro­duced can be converted into single-sheet paper if between the photosensitive emulsion (10) and the polyethylene layer (9) a transfer layer is deposited for the silver halides of layer (10), which may be a vehicle layer.
  • the visa or label comprising the visa produced in accordance with the described process has the particular feature that the safety frets and water­marks (2), as well as the set texts (3) color preprinted on the paper support or core (6) remain in the open and visible after having transferred by diffusion the photo of the holder, and after the automatic developing the surface may remain peeled; in other words, lose the emulsion layer (10) in the points where there has been no transfer of halides.
  • variable data of the visa such as the control number (4), filial data of the holder and of his passport, etc. are printed with a needle impact printer or laser printer connected to a terminal or computer issuing visas in the consulate/embassy, in such a way that said variable texts will personify the visa.
  • the data (11) of the holder's passport and of the visa can be printed with optoelectronically legible OCR types.
  • the signature of the consulate issuing the visa can be set with a pen or felt-tip pen with ink that is very difficult to erase with chemical reagents.
  • the visa thus formed will be adhered to the holder's passport as has been commented above. It may be pro­tected by a transparent sheet (12) of polyester (13) and polyethylene (14), which is hot rolled/laminated on the visa adhered to the passport.
  • the polyester layer (13) of the transparent sheet (12) can have printed on its inner surface, frets, coats-of-arms, acronyms, etc. with one or two dyes visible only under ultraviolet light and with close wave lengths.
  • the embassy/consulate which has issued the visa will previously consult, in the country of origin, the immigration data bank to determine whether the applicant has the requirements necessary for the granting of the visa.
  • the consulate/embassy will transmit to the computer that the immigration data bank of its country has the data of the granted visa, in such a way that at the border or immigration station at the destination the officer, with his terminal connected to said data bank, verifies the authenticity of the visa and of the identity of the holder or, failing this, any fraudulent manipulation of the visa or passport.
  • the produc­tion of visas may be done by means of direct transfer by printing on special paper in the form of a visa-label the filial data, the holder's photo, data of the passport and of the visa itself, all in such a way that said special paper will contain luminescent fibrils, special granules that change colors withspecific reagents or with suds, etc.,as well as water marks.
  • variable data of the visa in the consul/embassy which issues it is done either by scanning of the photograph furnished by the holder of the passport who applies for the visa, or else by digitalized shot with a video camara of the facial image of the applicant of the visa, directly through a personal or multistation computer, which has a non-impact, photoelectrostatic (laser) printing or electrophotographic print by thermotransfer printer, in color as well as in black and white with a range of grays, so that all the variable data of the visa will be printed, just as it is shown in figure 1.
  • laser photoelectrostatic
  • the registers of the visa thus personalized with the holder s photograph printed by thermocomponent, as well as the identification control number itself, once digitalized, are transmitted by the consulate or embassy to the immigration data bank of the country of destina­tion, so that when the holder of the passport with the visa passes through the border of the country of destination his personality can be univocally identified by the officer in the above described manner.
  • this visa can be produced according to any of the cited processes but done direct­ly on one of the pages of the passport.
  • all the data are printed directly on the passport by means of a special color printer connected to a personal or multistation computer in the consulate/embassy that issues the visa.
  • the frets, watermarks, etc. are color printed by said printer.
  • the same visa format as the one represented in figure 1 can be obtained.
  • the photograph furnished by the holder of the passport applying for the visa may or may not be ad­hered to the passport and the photo may be validated with a safety stamp.
  • the photograph may also be printed, and in any case it is digitalized by a scanner connected to the computer of the consulate/embassy, compressing the register thereof by means of a special and original compression algo­rithm which reduces the content of significant information to 1 KByte or to 4 KBytes, depending on whether the photograph is larger, its quality in gray tones or its contrasts it is in color.
  • Said scanner reads the codification of the visa and automatically interrogates the data bank, which transmits the complete register of the visa.
  • the data of the complete visa including the photograph of the holder of the visa appear on the screen. This way the authenticity of the visa shwon at the border and the personality of the holder thereof are revealed.
  • Said visa can also be coated with a protective trans­parent sheet (12) of polyester (13) and polyethylene (14), hot rolled.
