| Dec 23, 2016 at 15:06 | comment | added | DTRT | The answer to the specific question is no. However, the immigration service at the destination can do it during APIS processing. Whether or not they actually do is something they won't admit. | |

Nobody online is qualified to advise you on, say, the extent to which using a forged visa may be considered a crime in and of itself and jeopardize the claim. | |

| Dec 23, 2016 at 7:58 | comment | added | user13044 | @phoog - The amount of data supplied beyond simply a list of names varies based on end use. Some governments require advanced passenger information (api) which does include passport info and perhaps more depending on point of origin (can't recall ever giving my visa numbers, but haven't flown Moscow to London). Perhaps the Immigration computers could run passport numbers and citizenship details through to see if visas have been issued. But this is just perhaps as most countries don't reveal these techniques. But a "Passenger Manifest" is simply a passenger list. | |
