IATA Timatic is the industry standard used by airlines and travel agents to be compliant with border control rules and regulations. Timatic delivers personalized information based on the passenger's destination, transit points, nationality, travel document, residence country etc.

The Timatic Quick Reference Guide will assist you to make the appropriate request for each type of passenger. Timatic can be used to provide passengers with this critical information as part of the booking process, as well as during check-in to ensure travelers have the correct travel documentation.
Benefits of Timatic

The key benefit of Timatic is the ability to reduce fines from the immigration department due to inadmissible passengers. Make sure your passenger is carrying the correct travel documentation. No delay or disruption during the check-in process and a hassle free travel experience, when passengers consult Timatic for their travel documentation requirements at the time of booking.
Timatic features:

* Passport requirements and recommendations
* Visa requirements and recommendations
* Health requirements and recommendations
* Airport tax to be paid by the traveler at either departure or arrival airport
* Customs regulations relating to import/export of goods and small pets by a passenger
* Currency regulations relating to import and export by a passenger

Timatic is a mainframe application and is accessed via airline reservation or departure control systems. It can also be accessed by airlines and travel agents via most GDS systems.
