Tips for Smoothly Navigating Customs
Entering a foreign country or returning from one means encountering immigration and customs officers. Here’s how to make the process as seamless as possible.
Be Prepared for Passport Control and Customs
Upon entering a new country, you’ll pass through Passport Control where your passport will be stamped. You’ll also go through customs, where your luggage may be inspected based on what you declare on your arrival form, which you fill out on the plane.
Dress to Impress
How you present yourself can influence your experience. While I’m not suggesting you face profiling, your appearance does affect how security personnel perceive you.
Opt for a neat, put-together look. You don’t need a suit and tie, but avoid wearing items like cut-off shorts, sandals, or a ripped shirt. Aim for a balance?"I usually choose jeans, a collared shirt, and loafers. This attire is both comfortable and makes airport security checks easier.
A shabby appearance can increase the likelihood of being inspected. Avoid clothing that draws unnecessary attention, like shirts with offensive slogans or overly patriotic messages. Dress comfortably and subtly.
Freshen Up Before Landing
About half an hour before landing, take advantage of the restroom to refresh. Use your own toiletries or those provided to brush your teeth, comb your hair, and splash some water on your face. Long flights can leave you looking tired.
Check a mirror to see if you need to tuck in your shirt or smooth out wrinkles. Make sure any sleepiness is wiped from your eyes.
While carrying toiletries can be cumbersome due to security rules, you’re permitted to bring small liquid items in a clear, zip-lock bag. Consult the TSA website for the latest regulations.
Final Thoughts
By dressing neatly and looking refreshed, you’ll likely glide through Customs and Immigration with ease.
