Cause of passenger offloaded at Immigration counters

Even with passport, boarding pass and other documents on hand. you still trembling at the possibility that your answer might not impress the immigration officers, worse your fears become reality. the immigration offiecers think you lack the necessary documents or your rwesponse to his quiries are consistent. you are denied entry beyond the imigration and disallowed for embarkation.

As Bureau  of Immigration (BI) Commission Ricardo A. David Jr. urged immigration  officers at Ninoy Aquino International Airport to step up their vigilance and intensify the agency's campaign  against human trafficking . we can expect more Filipino;s bound overseas to be offloaded from their purpose of doing so varies, from preventing humans smuggling activities or illegal to BI most of the offloaded passengers are bound for countries like Singapore, and those in the Middle East. Let's find out the reason behind such action.

1. You are unable to provide necessary documents
As legitimate overseas Filipino worker, you are expected to bring with you important documents not only to Immigration officers you travel is valid, but also to ensure you are properly documents as OFW.

2. You are unable to provide consistent statements.
When an officer starts asking about visas or your destination. you have to be certain that know how to respond in a calm and direct manner. If you tell them your going a country to work but your passport only shows you can visit the country only as a tourist, that raises the red flag. If you're trying to sneak into another country by making up stories. you're bound to fail and will likely be prevented from boarding your flight. IN fact you can thank the officer for doing so as he could save you from further trouble. you may be barred. or banned from entering your destination country with questionable statements.

3.You are bound to a country where OFW deployment is currently banned.
It is easy to understand that when your passport has explicit orders for you not to enter Iraq or issues a statement that prohibits travelers to places like Bahrain. Libya or Yemen. It's close to impossible you will be able to fly to your intended destination. Basically they just want you to kept from harms way. But for certain reasons, many Filipinos are willing to cross the danger zone. Some would succeed in getting around the  prying eyes of the Immigration but could end up as victims of International human smuggling or drug syndicated.

 There may be other causes why passengers get offloaded. Unfortunately some of them are inconsistent and puzzle passengers who present complete documents and claim to have answered queries satisfactorily.

The problem is that some officers raise arbitrary questions. For example, officers may require passengers to produce a document stamped by the Philippine consulate of that destination country even if a visa is already issued. or someone claimed to have paid thousands odf pesos after failing to convince the latter of his religion by singing a Gospel song.
