Still to establish
- No passport list is encoded for comparison. Check your passport with the authority; omission does not mean exclusion or exemption.
- No stay limit is encoded for comparison. Confirm the permitted stay, how days are counted and any cumulative limits.
- No travel purpose is encoded for comparison. Describe your actual activities to the authority before choosing a category.
Prepare and verify
- Check who must complete the declaration, any exemptions and the official submission window.
- Prepare the information the authority requests and keep any confirmation in the format it specifies.
Your next checks
- Write down the passport you will use and its type, your country of residence and your planned activities. Residence and interface language do not replace passport nationality.
- List arrival and departure dates, transit stops and entry points. Check each leg separately, including whether you pass immigration during transit.
- Open the official instructions for that profile. Record the required documents, submission window, fees and processing guidance; mark anything the source does not confirm as unresolved.
- If a condition is unclear, contact the competent authority with your passport country, residence, purpose and dates. Recheck before departure and after a passport or itinerary change.
What else should I know?
Completing an arrival card does not replace a required visa, grant permission to stay or demonstrate visa exemption.
Automatic translation. The official authority's source takes precedence.
Who can apply
Foreign visitors arriving at participating airports; check the pilot coverage before departure.
Prepare and verify
- Check the scope and declaration window on the official portal.
- Enter passport, itinerary and accommodation details, then check the information.
- Keep the confirmation and travel documents for immigration checks.
- This declaration does not replace a visa or guarantee entry.
- PAI provides a QR code; it is separate from the former health declaration and is not a general requirement at all borders.
Official sources
Advice from a foreign government may be intended for its own nationals. Check the destination authority's requirements for your passport and circumstances; an advisory is not a universal eligibility decision.
