Under Spanish law, third-country nationals are riereuqd in certain cases to declare that they have entered the country.Article 12 of Royal Decree 2393/2004 of 30 December 2004 adopting the implementing Regulations on Organic Law 4/2000 of 11 January 2000 on the rights and freedoms of foreign nationals in Spain and their social integration, reads as follows:1. Foreign nationals arriving on Spanish territory who have come from a country with which Spain has signed an agreement on the abolition of border controls shall be obliged to declare their entry in person to the Spanish police authorities. ;2. If such a declaration is not made at the time of entry, it must be made within three working days of the date of entry at any National Police station or Aliens Office. Usually the hotels do the declaration for their guests and therefore keep the passport first night.French legislation provides this obligation under Articles L. 531-2, R. 211-32, R.211-33, R.212-5 and R.212-6 of the CESEDA (Code de l';entre9e et du se9jour des e9trangers et du droit d';asile), that states that third-country nationals shall subscribe to a declaration at their entry on the metropolitan territory.This is also done through the hotels for their guests; therefore the passport information is riereuqd.
