This was in 2003-2005 lah... Now still can or not I don't know.

I hated going to Malaysia so I don't visit for many years...

I fly monthly to Vietnam and have no problems entering...just comply to their laws and answer them what the officers wanted to know...:

I had entered Vietnam more than 100 times...never had I been asked for money once...once the custom officers asked me if had foreign currencies...just answered no and leave because they dun expect you to pay...if the officers dun hold your passport then you can always leave...

My advice is u better refrain from such practise. Not just spoilt market but u are asking for trouble. Ur "generosity" may backfired!

It would be safer if u try not to bring any items related to sex (especially in Indon). Be it kondoms, enhanced pill. XXX pics in ur HP better delete it or save it in ur laptops (home). Someone already posted that he was told to remove his footwear. And dont be surprise (not to frighten u) if u are being told to open up ur wallet. They are not looking for ur $$. They are looking for hidden enhance pills, condoms, etc.

Spoil market? No lah... I'm having 20+ back to back visa exempted chops on my passport. Malaysia and Thailand are the only countries I know of that can do this back then. Now thailand cannot liao... land border also just 15 days.

Your writing is so crappy I honestly can't understand what you are trying to say. Maybe if you can write better, i would know if you are trying to insult me or encourage me. If you had any intelligence, you would know that it is not up to me to close the thread, but the moderators.

This thread does not only concern Indonesia, but Immigration issues across all countries, including Thailand, Malaysia, USA, Vietnam etc... Maybe your little brain can understand that. My hope is that we all share our experiences dealing with Immigration in all countries we visit, so we avoid the same troubles. If this offends you so much, you are welcome to leave this tread to your TCSS one, or take some English writing lessons.

I not suan you. You are lucky not zapped gaogao . U must burn golden paper. Don't try to act hero here.Hero always die very fast . Don't follow the footsteps of Hellowah.

[lost99]

What's your problem bro? You are welcome to discuss with me in person if you have any balls. Easy to talk cock here, but a different story face to face.

If you have nothing useful to add, if you don't like, then just ignore and move on. keep your garbage to yourself. For your own good, i also suggest you take some writing courses because you make no sense.

Anyways, ignoring all the retards on this thread, I've travelled many times across Asia and USA, and been pressured by Immigration/Customs many times for different reasons. If they suspect you of anything, they try pressure you to make you nervous to admit something, in case you are doing anything illegal. My general advice when travelling across borders is as follows:


1. Know the country's immigration law
Certain activities/substances allowed in some countries cannot be allowed in others. For example, I may have certain perscription drug perfectly legal in my country, but not allowed in others (i have had these drugs destroyed upon arrival before). Also certain activites (i.e. prostitution) are allowed in some, but prohibitied in others. Knowing the law will let you know what you can do, and what you can say to a customs officer.

2. Prepare your story to tell Immigration
If you are travelling for Business, you should have documents, meetings, schedule setup to show the officer. If for vacation, tell the officer your itinerary, the cities you plan to visit etc.. When i travel for tourism, I tell them the cities and locations i am visiting, along with the foods and restaurtants i am going. Knowing your story in advance will help you tell the officer without getting nervous or looking suspicious.

3. Do not get nervous, act confident
I had a friend who worked at border patrol briefly, and the biggest indicator they use to locate suspicious traveller is those who have a strange story, and act nervous. They are less likely to search and detain people who have a reasonable story, and act calm and confident. Most people who are not doing anything wrong have no need to act nervous. This is just the facts, if you are a nervous person just try work on your demeanor with other strangers.

4. Be prepared to be asked any random questions
Customs/immigration will ask you any question to try "rattle" you and make you nervous. If they see condoms and porn, they may ask " you here to cheong" etc... Just be prepared to answer such questions, and make sure your answers correspond with your story above. The more your answers diverge from your story, the more likely you will be detained longer for further questioning. The purpose of detaining and making people wait hours, is to make them nervous and uncomfortable, and more likely to confess any wrongdoing if they have done something illegal. I've been detained for hours before, and let go when they don't find anything.

5. Do not carry any potentially offending items, or 'red flag' items
Don't carry any items which may raise 'red flags' with customs or immigration. Things which may look like 'drugs' (powders), liquids, condoms, porn, pictures and videos on your phone. Delete, erase, and leave them at home. Don't carry large stacks of cash (you have to report large amounts usually over 10,000 USD anyways). Customs can search anything in your belonging, and ask you questions based on that. They usually ask you about any unusual belongings to make you nervous and confess if you are doing anything illegal.

6. Be polite, honest, and straightforward with the Officer
This is obvious. People who are rude and insult the officer, can get detained, searched, fined, and possibly arrested. Officers are given broad legal powers to question and search anyone who comes into their country to preserve national security. They usually have a 'power trip' so best not to combat them or they will make your life miserable.


I am not promoting anything illegal with my advice above. I don't advocate you do anything illegal or break the law, especially when you are travelling to a foreign country. This advice is only to avoid getting detained and hassled at immigration/customs when you are there for perfectly legal purposes, such as business, tourism, etc.. It really sucks when you spend hours travelling to a new country, only to spend a few hours upon arrival getting detained and checked out before you can start you vacation or business trip.

Both cases they let me go after finding nothing.

I traveled to New York just after 911, just stamped my passport and I was thru. I have not encounter any problem when traveling in Asia.

Yes, immigration officers are trained to look for signs such as nervousness or suspicious behaviors.

Other than that, if kena stop to ask question are random.

Of cos, behaviors like talking loudly, smoking or ya ya papaya in custom areas are behaviors that you do to ask for trouble.

Someone told me long time ago that when you argue with an idiot, they always drag you down to their level of thinking, and win by experience. What I'm saying is, that you win the argument

By the way, the purpose of the thread is to provide INFORMATION to people, which you don't appreciate for some reason, but clearly some do. I really don't care if this thread doesn't last, or gets split into another thread - that is not the reason i started it. I respect Hurricane88 and he has my permission to remove it is that's what he wants. Also, since when do you speak for H88? I think he can handle himself, which is more than i can say for you. All i care is that i help the other bros here avoid issues with immigration, because i've also had issues in the past with them, and i want a place for us to share our experiences to avoid hassles in the future.
