NAIA Immigration Experience


I read a lot about NAIA immigration experience so I can't help myself to get nervous before my flight. My first international flight was when my friend and i went to Hong Kong for three days. Our airline was Cebu Pacific in NAIA Terminal 3. It was a promo so we grabbed that opportunity and a birthday treat to myself as well. That time my friend do all research for everything. There are only few questions in immigration, she just ask me my Company ID, how long i am employed, Airline Ticket and Accommodation. That's all but i still had lots of documents with me like the COE, ITR, Bank Statement etc.

My second International Flight was to United Kingdom. I was really nervous as its for UK not just Asia. I was reading a lot of suggestions and recommendations during the Immigration interview. My flight was around 1pm in NAIA Terminal 1, by 9am i was there already, my airline was Philippine Airlines. I went checked in my luggage and fill up some forms paid the tax and next was the Immigration. Before i went to immigration i calmed myself, sit down for a while, went to the restroom, freshen up put some make up, make myself looks good and breath. As i was lining up for interview I cant help myself to get nervous, i dont know what i feel, i felt like peeing and pooping, feels like I'm sweating and my knees were shaking, but in my mind i have to look confident. I dont know how my face looks like but i tried to smile a friendly smile not an exaggerate one, hehehe. When it was my turn, the IO was a guy and he looks like a Chinese and friendly, as soon as i get to the window i smile and greeted him. He just asked my passport and looked into it and looked at me and boom he stamped my passport. That's it as easy as 123. Hahaha of-course i am ready with the documents in case he will ask. I even get a CFO Certificate as the sponsor is my fiance, but i swear walang tanong, hindi ako hinanapan ng kahit isang document, passport lg talaga. I can say I am lucky. :) :) Anyways i wore a lil bit formal thing and a light  make up.
