¹ hindi palagi hinihingi yung mga docs na 'to but it's better na hawak n'yo sila in case na hanapin. Usually pag kulang ang documents, nao-offload. Sayang naman yung flight tickets at tours if nakabook na.
² prepare printed copies of these documents
👔 Dress appropriately. Don't overdress pero wag naman yung mukha lang bibili ng s**a sa tindahan 😅
😊 Relax and be confident. If you're really just going for a tour, walang dapat ikatakot. Isang tanong, isang sagot lang. Wag n'yo ilabas yung ibang documents lalo na if di naman hinanap. Mas suspicious yun 😅
👬 Travel with companions - lalo na if female ka, mas mahigpit sila because they just want to make sure na hindi magiging biktima ng human trafficking
💸 Have your financial details ready - minsan hahanapin nila 'to. You need to prove your financial capacity na gumastos sa ibang bansa. Bring cash, i-ready ang bank statement and bring your credit cards
📄 Memorize your itinerary - pwede nilang maging basis yun if seryoso kayong mamamasyal lang kayo. Na-experience kong matanong ng iti activities per day of stay. Parang exam lang 😅
🥖 Baon kayo food or prepare money for food - nagutom ako after ng IO interview 😂
❓️Usual IO questions❓️
After providing yung initial documents na hihingin nila (passport, return ticket, confirmed accommodation booking at itinerary), they will usually ask these questions:
🔸️Nakapagtravel na internationally before? Saan and kailan?
🔸️Old passport?
🔸️Kailan babalik ng Pilipinas?
🔸️Anong gagawin sa ibang bansa?
🔸️Kaano-ano ang travel companion?
🔸️Anong work dito sa Pinas? Ilang taon na sa work?
🔸️May approved leave?
🔸️May dalang CoE?
🔸️Sino gumawa ng itinerary? Kailan kayo pupunta sa [tourist spot]?
Final tip: Wag kabahan at maging consistent sa answers. The IO can smell fear. Lol
Pag firm naman kayo sa sagot n'yo and they see no reason to offload, they'll let you through.
Bigay din kayo additional IO interview tips kasi for sure, we missed some of them 😅
