You posted this in the other forumAncientAlien wrote:Hi All
My attention was recently drawn to the possibility that my human rights could have been compromised and violated by Immigration officers who in the past have demanded to inspect my flight tickets whilst travelling dry.gif What legal justification do they have to check passengers' tickets, I thought their job was to ensure that only those with the right Visa documents are allowed into the country huh.gif What reason could an immigration officer give, to inspect my tickets?
But on the other hand, I cannot say they are entirely wrong to demad to see my flight ticket afterall I have, in the past submitted my flight tickets to embassies to prove my itinerary and obtain the respective country's visa. What do I say to the next immigration officer who demands a glimps of my tickets? Do I reply, "No officer, the visa documents were not stamped on the tickets!"
The obvious reason is to check if you would leave the country again within the validness of your visa. For security reason it will also be necessary to record on which flight you entered.AncientAlien wrote:What right does ANY immigration officer have to demand to inspect ANY flight tickets of mine, instead of (say for instance), my Visas or lack of them?

Total rubbish. It is outrage when you are trying to claim some kind of human rights violation. HR violations are things like people who are being raped, brutalized and killed. Here you are going on about someone checking your ticket. Any citizen from any country can be checked because the IO needs to determine why you are here and if you are allowed to come back. Plain and simple. I am glad that you are checked. You should a bit shady to me.AncientAlien wrote: Background details:

You are quite wrong about the role of the IO. What other method do you suggest for satisfying the IO where you've arrived from and whether you are able to pay for yourreturn journey (if applicable)?AncientAlien wrote:Hi All

Are you, by any chance, Henry Kissinger?AncientAlien wrote:In my experience, you have never had anything positive to contribute to my immigration quests so perhaps, you it's full time now that you get a clue that I am not particularly seeking YOUR advise Razz (Nothing personal, mate)
Secondly, you are one of those people who have yet to congratulate me on securing the all-so-evasive EEA2 Resident card, therefore, I guess I couldn't call you a well wisher (Don't feel no way, truth is bitter..)
Thirdly, I exhibit no outrage, as I cannot afford annoyance but I know that many people actually think of others, the way they THEMSELVES are, see my arguement?
Moreover, I was not pre-warned that it would be an offence to repeat an immigration query in this forum if the same issue has already has been started in another forum elsewhere...
Now, although the background details are quite self-explanatory, I will expand the background details to the good people out there who are neither confrontational nor provocative to me with their responses to my postings and YOU can, grab a seat, watch and read how humble peeps reason about things and time with something called "mutual respect and honour". Be my guest.
Do you know what a visa is? It might surprise you to learn that possession of a valid visa does not guarantee entry to the State. As the others have pointed out, it needs to be determined, by the immigration officer, that a person's entry and stay in the State shall be in line with the conditions of his visa.AncientAlien wrote:Background details:

I am the most easy going and humble man you could ever come across and although I understand that everyone cannot be happy-go-lucky like me, I certainly don't expect people to be confrontational to me! If they have a grudge with the Home Office and they want to come here and vent their anger, they better know who they are dealing with. They carry bad-mind and they are grudgeful and they don't have the common courtesy to congratulate you when all goes well for you. Then they wanna come to town and flex like dirty chewing-gum! Over what? They better be humble or good or be careful...shandave2001 wrote:AncientAlient
Hopefully you got answer to ur question. I am agree Republique thin ice do no good in this board apart from seeking confrontation and wasting others time. I don't know who told him this forum was place for a angry and sad man. How many people he has confronted, ask Richard 66.
The problem is few self assumed clever though third class immigration advisors think they have answers to all the questions.
