It provides access to travel information including visa and health requirements, country information, travel rules, news, help pages, and airport-city lists.
What Does the Amadeus TI Command Do?
TI is the Amadeus GDS command used to request travel information such as visa, health, country, rules, and other travel-related information.
Category: Travel Information.
The Amadeus TI command provides access to travel information, including visa and health requirements, country information, travel rules, news, help pages, and airport-city lists.
Amadeus TI Command โ Visa & Health Information
The most common use of the Amadeus TI command is checking visa and health requirements for specific segments of an itinerary. These entries read directly from the PNR, so you don’t need to type country codes manually.
Request visa information for specific segments:
TIRV/NAFR/S4-6This requests visa information from the PNR for segments 4โ6. The destination country code (FR) is passed as a parameter.
Request health information for specific segments:
TIRH/NAFR/S2-3This requests health information from the PNR for segments 2โ3.
Request both visa and health information at once:
TIRA/NAFR/S2-3This requests both visa and health information from the PNR for segments 2โ3 โ the fastest option when advising a customer on international entry requirements.
Amadeus TI Command โ Visa & Health Masks

When to Use the Amadeus TI Command
Use the Amadeus TI command when you need to check visa requirements, health information, travel rules, country details, travel news, or other travel-related information while working in Amadeus. Typical scenarios include:
- Advising a customer on visa requirements for an international itinerary.
- Checking health and vaccination requirements before travel.
- Providing entry rules or travel advisories for a destination.
- Confirming which cities in a country have airports.
- Reviewing travel news for schedule disruptions or regulatory changes.
- Accessing the TI help pages to understand available information options.
How It Fits Into Your Daily Workflow
A typical travel-information session using the Amadeus TI command might look like this:
- Retrieve the PNR and identify the segments requiring visa or health checks.
- Enter
TIRA/NAFR/S2-3to request both visa and health information for the relevant segments. - Use

TINEWSif the itinerary might be affected. - Advise the customer with accurate, system-sourced information.
How the Amadeus TI Command Relates to Other Commands
The Amadeus TI command is part of the travel information and PNR toolkit. Here is how it relates to the others:
- TI โ travel information: visa, health, country, rules, news.
- HE โ Amadeus help pages for command syntax and usage.
- SR โ special service requests, including visa and health SSR entries in the PNR.
- DOCS โ APIS and travel document entries for passenger data.
- FQD โ displays fares between cities.
- FQNTAX โ displays general tax information for a country.
The key distinction: the Amadeus TI command answers the “should this passenger worry about entry requirements” question. It complements fare, tax, and SSR commands โ but it never touches the PNR itself; it is purely informative.
Important โ Always Cross-Check Entry Requirements
The Amadeus TI command provides travel information sourced from Amadeus. It is a great first reference point, but visa and health requirements change frequently. For high-stakes itineraries โ medical travel, groups with minors, or politically sensitive destinations โ always confirm the final rules with the destination embassy or the airline itself.
Travel information is not a substitute for professional advice. Document what you advised the customer, and encourage them to verify closer to departure.
