Questions:
Can a Filipina maid on a commercial tourist visa pass through immigration with a one way flight?
I assumed he meant immigration in Russia. Singapore will definitely not care about her the second she gets her passport chopped on the way out.nakatago wrote:
The return ticket is usually a requirement in the Philippines. Not sure if Singapore cares if yet another dirty foreigner is leaving for good.
FYI, list of countries where Filipinos can travel visa-free or do not require to get a visa beforehand:nutnut wrote:Airline are fobbing me off to the embassy.
I can call them on Monday.
These are very laudible sentiments of course, but my concern would be whether or not you might subsequently be deemed to be complicit in any dodginess that later came to light.nutnut wrote:You are right, we are not obliged, but, she has served our family well for 3 years and my kids have grown very fond of her, or course, to send her back to Manilla would be $150 and the cheapest option, BUT, we want to help her on her way as much as we can, so rather than buying her things to take home to Philippines, we want to offer her this opportunity. As she has arranged all of this herself, we are not aware of how dodgy the people involved in Moscow are, but, she's a grown woman and all we can do is offer her our support!
Many airline check in crew can, and have the right to refuse to check in a passenger minus a valid return .. and the rule is strictly enforced for 'some' passports, more than others ..zzm9980 wrote:I assumed he meant immigration in Russia.

Everywhere I've travelled, it has been the airline at check-in that has policed this. I would call the airline you intend to buy her the ticket on to ask them since that's where you'll likely have the trouble.
