During primary inspection, passengers must present basic travel documents:
Passport, valid at least six months from the departure date;
Valid visa, depending on the destination;
Boarding pass; and
Confirmed return or roundtrip ticket, when necessary
Self-funded tourists are required to show financial capacity or source of income and proof of employment, aside from the tickets and hotel booking.
During primary inspection, Immigration officers will ask relevant clarificatory questions and require documents needed to "sufficiently establish his/her declared purpose of travel."
At this stage, a passenger's departure can be deferred if there are fraudulent or falsified documents or if the traveller refuses to undergo primary inspection.
On the other hand, passengers could be referred to secondary inspection if, for example, they are unable to establish the purpose of their trip or if they have insufficient documents, do not have a visa, or have previously misrepresented any travel information.
During the secondary inspection, the Immigration officer will not just look at the purpose of travel but the totality of circumstances of the passenger including countries of destination, purpose of stay, travel history, age, financial capacity and educational background.
Misrepresentation, doubtful purpose of travel or insufficient travel documents could also lead to a deferral of departure at this stage.
Potentially trafficked passengers, however, shall not only be deferred for departure, they will also be turned over to the IACAT-Anti-Trafficking Task Force (IACAT-ATTF), which will in turn, hand over documents to the appropriate law enforcement agency for questionable passports or the Department of Foreign Affairs-Office of Consular Affairs for all other passports.
IACAT's crackdown on human trafficking recently led to the arrest of a suspected illegal recruiter whose Facebook post went viral back in May after she complained of being repeatedly offloaded from her international flights despite supposedly having complete documents.
