Do immigration officers check if i'm working or studying or unemployed?
Is immigration officer going to check if I'm working, studying or unemployed?
I'm a Moroccan citizen and I'm planning to visit the Philippines (visa free for a stay up 30 days).
And my question is does the immigration officer check if I'm working, studying or unemployed?
And if I'm working, do I need to provide my working certificate? I'm a self-employed barber/hairdresser so I don't have a boss who can sign anything for me.
Also, because people pay me in cash, I have no proof of where the money in my bank account came from.
Best Answer
The immigration officer may question your reason for entering the country. He may also enquire about your situation in your home country. This helps him understand whether you are likely to breach your entry conditions, by working or staying more than thirty days.
You should answer all questions honestly. Most of the time a short interview will be enough for entry. Sometimes the immigration officer will not ask you anything at all and will simply stamp your passport.
However, if the officer becomes suspicious you may be asked to go through a longer interview and provide proof of your situation.
