United States Border Security Act
|
 |
 |
 |
|
As
part of the new Border Security Act recently enacted by the United
States Government, all cruise lines are now required to collect
additional immigration information for their passengers prior to any
cruise to or from the United States.
As of March 1, 2003, the Advance
Passenger Information System (APIS) is standard for all
airlines and cruise reservations. It is very important for you
to provide the cruise line with all of the required information prior to
your arriving on embarkation day. You should also bring your
passports or other proof of citizenship with you to the pier.
Passengers who have not submitted their
needed information prior to embarkation day can expect very long delays
at the pier, as this information will be gathered as part of the
embarkation process. If you do not provide any piece of the
required data, you may be denied boarding without a refund.
Information required for ALL
PASSENGERS include:
Complete Name
Date of Birth
Gender
Residence Address
Citizenship
In addition, non-U.S. citizens
must provide
Passport Number and Country of
Passport Issuance
Passport Issue Date and Passport
Expiry Date
Country of Residence
Alien Registration Number ( if
resident of the United Sates)
US Address while visiting the US (if
not a resident of the United States)
Passengers who are citizens of a country
that require a visa to enter the United States, and are not U.S. or
Canadian resident aliens, must also secure a valid U.S. visa and
provide the following:
U.S. Visa Number
Visa Issue Date
Place of Visa Issuance
Each cruise line is doing their best to
make complying with the US Border Security Act as easy as
possible. Please see the list of cruise lines below for a current
list of their procedures to make sure you get your immigration
information to them prior to arriving at your cruise.
