Further to the above.
I have had a heated exchange of emails with Immigration Bureau as I had asked them when I booked the flight what the passenger would need. They said, in an email, Passport and return ticket ONLY.
In the exchanges they said, sometimes the Immigration Officer wants more and that is a matter for that officer. (Guess I was wrong when 'coffee money' sprang to mind)
I am very annoyed at the way my friends fiancée was treated and I tried hard to get a refund of the extra flight charge and possibly compensation. Needless to say, unfortunately the Phil Gov does not seem to respect their citizens as maybe other countries do.
I decided against a trip to Phil this year, as planned, after the experience, although of course continue to support the Phil Gov by supporting my wife's family.
OK got that off my chest.
Happy new year to all.
