Rude foreigners to be refused entry to the ph

Visiting foreigners who are rude and disrespectful towards immigration officers will be barred from entering the country, Bureau of Immigration (BI) Commissioner Jaime Morente warned on Tuesday.

The remark was made after the BI ports operations division reported that about 74 foreigners were turned away at the country’s ports in 2017 for being “disrespectful” to immigration officers.

BI: Foreigners ‘rude’ to immigration officers barred from entering PH

 

Good! Immigration officers should make a point of doing something slightly annoying when a foreigner comes to the window to bait them.

Immigration officer: "Sorry sir but it looks like your passport has expired."

Wait a couple seconds while pecking some keys on their keyboard. If foreigner starts cursing or getting angry kick them da fooook out! If they are polite or look confused:

Immigration officer: "Oh! My mistake, your passport isn't expired. Sorry, sir. Welcome to the Philippines!"



They could sell tickets to the show and allow bets on which long nose will lose his sh*t. I'd make it a weekly event to go see that.

 

I imagine most of them are trying to get something they aren't entitled to. I bet a lot of those kicked out were due to them demanding to be given Balikbayan privilege without their wives present or not having an onward ticket (I was unlucky enough to be in line behind a man-child that thought the rule didn't apply to him and wanted to argue about it for 20 minutes ). Instead of just accepting the rules for what they are and accepting that they screwed up or didn't properly understand the rules they want to dig their heels in and act like a little child throwing a temper tantrum. These baby-boomers are all "me-me-me" and can't accept responsibility for their own screw-ups.

 

....isn't all that common.

In my experience it is about 50/50 for being asked at the airport before I depart. I have never been asked by immigration at my starting point if I have an onward ticket from the Philippines, or any other country I was going to.

About 1 in 4 times I am asked by Philippines immigration if I have an onward ticket....and they usually don't even ask to see it after I, politely, say I do.

I bet that would cause some issues. Never traveled to a country where my LOA or CAC needed to be shown to immigration. I have always had work visas or completely bypassed the country's immigration all together.
