Travel Document and Entry

Requirement Checks
e-learning course (2 hours of study)
Passenger and travel document check assessment skills are essential for Passenger Agents, as all passengers
must carry and present the documents prescribed by the countries of transit and destination. Abuse of Entry
Regulations and Identity are linked to illegal immigration and other crime, including terrorism therefore,
Governments require these controls to monitor entry into their jurisdiction and consequently, introduce
penalties on airlines carrying inadequately documented passengers. Airlines and ground handlers can be saved
from costly delays and penalties by ensuring that their employees are adequately trained to recognize
impersonation or counterfeit or forged travel documents. Based on the latest trends and industry best practices,
this course provides tools to identify forged documents and potentially disruptive passengers.
