Do I have to fill out the APIS (Advance Passenger Information System)?

Traveling to the United States involves following procedures that ensure security and efficiency in immigration. The APIS (Advance Passenger Information System) collects passenger information before boarding.

Generally, when traveling with ESTA authorization, the airline sends this data during check-in or flight reservation, eliminating the need to fill out a separate form. It is essential to verify the accuracy of personal data in the reservation, as discrepancies may cause problems at boarding and entry into the country.

It is recommended to check with the airline and official channels to confirm requirements, ensuring compliance with current legislation. Avoid unofficial facilitation offers to prevent fraud and irregularities.
