I will be living in Barcelona soon and I have been married for 2 years to my husband who is Catalan. We have been in the U.S since we were married and now I am flying in by myself from Australia. I am an Australian citizen. Will they question my one-way ticket in Singapore and in Barcelona or do I just have to show our Certificate of Marriage and a copy of his passport?

I can also get copies of the Libro de Familia.

Please if anyone knows

Thanks

look up the airline web site that your traveling with and see if you book it with them would you be asked ?Advance Passenger Information? it would be the last leg off you travel befor spain

Advance Passenger Information Requirements

From June 1st, 2008, API, advance passenger information, will no longer be accepted at UK departure airports. This means you must either supply the information when you book or use your airline’s website to do so at least 4 hours in advance. The Spanish government has required API for all air travellers to Spain since June 1st, 2007. The advance passenger information requirement applies to the whole of Spain, including the Canary Islands.

Advance passenger information is a security and border control measure. API essentially means your passport information, including:
* passport or travel document number
* travel document type
* given names (as they appear on the passport)
* last name
* date of birth
* nationality
* issuing state

The following may also be required:
* country of residence
* gender

Ryanair says that “any passenger who fails to provide this important information at the time of original booking or prior to arrival at the departure airport will not be allowed to check-in and will forfeit their booking without refund.”

Ryanair?s Lorna Farren made this statement: ?Ryanair regrets any inconvenience these Spanish government APIS requirements may cause, however it is the responsibility of every passenger travelling from the UK/ Ireland to Spain submit passport or National ID data at the time of original booking or at least 4 hours prior to their flights on Ryanair.com. We strongly advise all passengers travelling to Spain to submit their APIS data and thereby avoid any risk of being denied check-in.?
that what we have via the UK You sould ask your travel agent befor traveling

I just called the consulate and they said that documentation in Spanish such as Libro de Familia should be ok. I will get copies of husband’s passport, libro de familia and certificate of marriage.

This seems enough, should I be providing anything more?
