TIMATIC Online (for passport and visa information)
 

Hello everyone!

PLease advise where can I find latest edition of TIMATIC on the web???
Preferably for free!

Thnx

Welcome to FlyerTalk.

Whereas Delta Airlines used to provide a page to enter data that used timaticweb (web-based version of Timatic), they no longer do.

Nonetheless, you can use this form provided by United Airlines to derive the same information, also from timaticweb.

Star Alliance provides a similar webform here, using IATA Netherlands.

The *A form is much more complete. The UA form is correct as far as it goes, but fails to ask all of the questions which might make a difference.

Thanks for that! I was used to using the Delta Airlines form, and suddenly - poof!

You can also access it on the oneworld site

Skyteam is here - (to finish the Timatic tour of the alliances:)

Is Timatic unreliable ?
 

Hello,
New FTer here, well not entirely since I've been browsing for quite a while ! I wish my first post wasn't worth 240€ but hey, maybe this will be the start of a great love story :D Which brings me to my question, how reliable is Timatic ?

I am leaving for Brazil on Saturday, I checked the passport requirements several weeks ago on *A's online Timatic, and here's what it said :

National Belgium (BE) /Embarkation France (FR)
Destination Brazil (BR)

Passport required.
- Passports and/or passport replacing documents must be valid
for the period of intended stay.

So, I had my answer and was happy about it until today, I guess I had some kind of epiphany that ordered me to second check this, and that led me to see on various websites that the passport must actually be valid for 6 months after you enter the territory. I tried to believe it were the various websites that were wrong, so I contacted the Brazilian Consulate, which confirmed that indeed, the 6 months rule is still in use.

I'm glad I checked, less glad about the express passport delivery I'm gonna have to pay for, but I guess it's better than being denied entry :)

Has anyone else experienced something like this ? And how come the source of documentation requirements used by airlines pretty much everywhere has truck-sized mistakes like this ?

Is free access to the TIMATIC database that the airlines use.

This is what they will(should?) look at when deciding about letting you on the plane.

TIMATIC is actually a proprietary database maintained by IATA. The carriers use a version available to them through whatever GDS they use. The carriers effectively pay for TIMATIC through IATA dues.

All that matters is that you are looking at a system which draws from TIMATIC so that you can see what the carrier will see.

Page is dead.

The question is still actual. Can anybody suggest working timatic?

SKYTEAM, United and IATA have working Timatic pages.

If you are an ExpertFlyer.com subscriber there is information on Visa, Health & Passports on the Travel Information tool. It also includes country-specific information on Customs and airport taxes.
