Advance Passenger Information (API)

Many Thanks Linda

Hi Anne,

Don't worry as last year a new security procedure called Advance Passenger Information (API) was introduced for all travellers into Spain. It is something which is already in operation in the USA and will be introduced into more EU countries this year. You can find out more at http://www.spanish-airport-guide.com/2007/06/api-advance-passenger-information.html

As you will see from this your travel operator needs the information for you to be allowed to land in Spain.

Hi Gary

We have recently booked a holiday through the Internet to Salou landing at Reus Airport, along with our confirmation the company have asked us to send to them the following info from our passports,

I am a bit uncertain as there seems to be a lot of personal and sensitive information in relation to our passport and with the focus on identity fraud just a bit concerned, can you please advise.

Information they are asking for is

Passport No
Date of Birth
Expiry date
Full name
issue office

Many Thanks

Anne
