The British government has warned airlines not to allow an ex-CIA employee who leaked secret US surveillance details to fly to the UK, according to a report.
The Associated Press news agency reported seeing a document at a Thai airport telling carriers to deny 29-year-old Edward Snowden boarding.
The travel alert with a Home Office letterhead said Mr Snowden "is highly likely to be refused entry to the UK".
The Home Office would not comment.
According to AP, the alert was issued on Monday by the Home Office's Risk and Liaison Overseas Network.
The document had a photograph of Snowden and gave his date of birth and passport number, the news agency reported.
It said: "If this individual attempts to travel to the UK: Carriers should deny boarding".
It went on to warn airlines they may "be liable to costs relating to the individual's detention and removal'' should they allow him to travel.
Bangkok Airways, Singapore Airlines and Malaysia Airlines confirmed they had received the notice, which was not supposed to be seen by the public, AP reported.
Mr Snowden has admitted disclosing information to the Guardian newspaper about National Security Agency (NSA) programmes that seize data from US internet and telephone firms.
There has been no warrant issued for his arrest, but some politicians in the US have called for him to be tried for treason.
