On 19 June 2007 Spain introduced new requirements meaning that air carriers have to provide certain personal information about all travellers on their aircraft to the Spanish authorities before the aircraft departs for Spain. This information is known as 'advance passenger information' ('API' or 'APIS' data) and is already required on all flights to the United States.

This information is compulsory and is required for the purposes of ensuring aviation safety and security. The Spanish authorities will use the information for law enforcement purposes. This will apply to all passengers leaving Ireland and travelling to Spain, regardless of nationality.

The data will be collected either at the airport, when you check in, or in advance, usually when you make your booking.

The requirement to provide API data does not apply to flights departing from countries within the Schengen free travel area. The countries within the Schengen free travel area are: Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Austria, Greece, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden.

Your air carrier is legally required to provide this information to the Spanish authorities. If you refuse to give this information the airline may refuse to allow you to travel.

Below is a list of the information required:

*Minors under 18 years of age travelling to Portugal on their own, who do not have anyone in Portugal taking responsibility for their stay, may be refused entry to the country.
