The_Munchmaster Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Something I've often wondered about. Why do couples usually approach the immigration desk together? They've got separate passports, and I'm sure only one person is meant to be at the immigration desk at any time, so why don't they go separately? If I was the immigartion officer I'd tell one of them to get back behind the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddy Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 It's a natural thing to do Munchie when you are 'together'. You should see me on a trip back to UK, I have to march up to the desk with 8 passports, it's a feckin nightmare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MooNoi Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 I've seen the officials at BKK airport turn away one person in a couple, but they don't seem to mind families going up together. Same in Sydney - quite strict on only one person at a time at the desk unless its a family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddy Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 That'll be you, your 3 wives and the 4 nippers. Me, the wife, 4 nippers and the 2 nannies. And no I haven't shagged them, but I wouldn't mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simie Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Munchie, i take your point but i think some people just think it the natural thing to do if they are arriving as a couple? You may have also noticed some couples where the wife is Thai and the husband farang going together to the shorter "Thai passports" queues? In this case of course one would assume they need to go up together otherwise the farang husband would likely be told to bugger off to the back of the farang queue? Simie.

CTO Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 I've had the immigration person ask for all of us to approach, I think they process faster as a group, rather than as individuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used the Thai passport line with someone that I was traveling with on business. So no relationship is necessary so long as the person vouches for the fact that you are travelling together.

torrenova Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 IN Vietname they send you back. I though the guy was going to shoot me or lock me up for approaching with my missus in Saigon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
