What do I need to provide to the airline?

Advance Passenger Information (API) is information about passengers required by the US government prior to travel. It was originally introduced by the US authorities to speed up immigration procedures.

We strongly advise you supply API before you arrive at the airport- you will receive details on how to do this with your documentation, 14 days before departure. This will minimise disruption at the airport check in area. Guests should be able to complete API on their airline's website prior to departure.

The required information consists of:

• Full name (last name, first name, middle names if applicable)

• Gender

• Date of Birth

• Nationality

• Country of residence

• Travel document type (normally passport)

• Travel document number (expiry date and country of issue for passport)

• Address of the first night spent in the U.S.†

†Not required for U.S. nationals, Legal Permanent Residents, or Alien Residents of the U.S. entering the U.S.
