Mr Lee Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 It is about time they stopped letting some of the trash in, but how many of those were wrongfully not allowed in based on the criteria listed? Statistics from the BI airport operations division show Koreans and Chinese, numbering 155 and 154, respectively, accounted for the bulk of the excluded aliens. Also on top of the list are 58 Americans, 56 Japanese and 48 Taiwanese. Thus, when conducting inspection of arriving foreigners, immigration officers take into account various factors, including the passenger’s age, :o health, financial status, :o education and skill, return ticket, travel purpose, history and accommodation and sponsorship of trip. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum Support Old55 Posted September 14, 2011 Forum Support Posted September 14, 2011 I agree with you Lee this law will be abused but overall it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve & Myrlita Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 One of the BI excerpts is this:BI rules define a public charge as an alien who lacks or is without means of sustainable living; is primarily dependent on government benefits or programs for subsistence or is a ward of the State due to illness, incapacity, poverty and the like. Whereas I receive SSDI which is considered a government benefit, am I now open for deportation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art2ro Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 No one should worry about immigration rules and policies as long everyone follows the procedures to the letter of the Philippines laws, policies and customs! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
