If you travel to Australia, Canada, China, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom or the United States, we are required to collect various pieces of personal information.
This ‘Advance Passenger Information’ (API) includes data in a passenger's passport or travel document as well as other information. When travelling to the United States, you must also provide the first address at which you will be staying at your destination. The API data is sent to the immigration authorities of your destination.
The API data includes information on the machine-readable zone on your passport: 
  • Family name and first name 
  • Date of birth and gender 
  • Passport number 
  • Country that issued the passport 
  • Passport expiry date 
  • Nationality

We recommend that you provide this information as early as possible by contacting your travel agent, or during online check-in. If checking in online is not possible, you can also enter the necessary data at a self service check-in machine available at Terminal 2 of Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, Taipei Songshan Airport. If you depart from an airport where you can only check in at the desk, our staff will register the API data on your passport.
