nkped Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Only a best guess, but $300 sounds like the costs of putting him in a hotel and having someone watch him. Undoubtedly the airline wants to recoup their costs, but they likely have to take him back or incur a heavy hit from the Japanese government.

exit2dos Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 If you get deported, the deporting country stamps your passport with DEPORTED, or something like that on the last page of your passport, I believe. Than, I guess, no one will accept you but your home country, who also makes note of the deportation and gives you a secondary inspection, probably forever, since they would put it on the computer. You probably have to ditch your passport. One guy, I knew, in the old days, was deported from some weird 3rd world country and took lemon juice and whatever he could find on the plane to erase the deportation stamp, before his next destination. It worked. But that was in the 60s. So yesterday! I've noticed, in USA, they always look on the back page, after the front photo page, when you pass Immigration.

Mentors Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Any Airline is responsible for their passengers. Here in Europe, since a few years the Immigration police check often after the arrive directly at the gates. If something is not correct, a person will be deported with the same flight. (Thai people were always checked at the Gate...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 When I was in the Peace Corps, all volunteers were issued a new passport with a U.S. State Department stamp in it. Since it wasn't a diplomatic passport, most customs officers didn't know what to make of it. I remember customs at Frankfurt checking to see if I was on a list of known terrorists!

.. Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 When I was in the Peace Corps, all volunteers were issued a new passport with a U.S. State Department stamp in it. Since it wasn't a diplomatic passport, most customs officers didn't know what to make of it. I'm not PC, but I have one of those now (as a State Dept approved and classified vendor). But same-same...the immi guys/gals kinda scratch their head when I show up LOL! Cheers, SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickfarang Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 If he is being deported, then he will be deported. If your friend has a sense of adventure, he can just wait it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabbish Posted October 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 He got sent back to the country he flew from. No problem really just that there wasn't any flights over the weekend so he had to spend some time in a lock-up. he's used to that so no worries.
