2. Motivation problem
Apart from the itinerary, the most frequently asked question is motivation, that is, why did you come to xx country or to travel? Still visiting friends. Everyone needs to answer truthfully. Even if you come here to give birth, don't worry. Telling the visa officer truthfully will be the best choice.
3. Money problem
When you come to xx country, if you have a tourist visa, you are not allowed to work, that is, you have no income. The inspectors there will naturally ask about your travel expenses, and sometimes they will ask you to show the corresponding cash, such as Thailand, which is about 2000 yuan.
But don't worry, according to our experience, this kind of question is rarely asked, because the relevant deposit certificate has been submitted when applying for a visa.

Chen Huawei, a deputy to the National People's Congress, once said that there are only three links in administrative law enforcement: security inspection and customs inspection and quarantine. Although the NPC representative did not say whether the passengers were domestic or international, is the security inspection an administrative law enforcement agency? Is there any customs quarantine in China? Excuse me, is the border inspection agency in name only? How can NPC deputies speak on behalf of the people when they don't know the relevant departments and institutions of the airport? Some netizens joked: "China has two most mysterious departments. I don't want people to know that his department is called the National Security Bureau. I do everything I can to make people know that his often neglected department is called border inspection. " I feel the same way.
The full name of border inspection is entry-exit frontier inspection station. Directly under the Ministry of Public Security, it is a deputy department-level unit under the Exit-Entry Administration of the Ministry of Public Security, and individual stations are now department-level. Before 2006, the Sixth Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security (Exit-Entry Administration) had nine border checkpoints, which were of the nature of border defense. After the job reform in 2006, it was changed into a blue-green police uniform and the establishment of civil servants.
Border checkpoints often encounter the embarrassment of passengers saying the wrong name. For example, many customs clearance passengers will say, "Thank you!" After accepting our clearance service. Customs service is really good! "or:" your customs service is just better than those people! " (pointing to the direction of the customs) I really don't know whether to be happy or sad when I hear such a compliment.
