Not bad for a day's pay

I bet if you could give them a bribe they would make the queues dissapear. All this is because they see falangs, have to do something for them and don't get a tip.

Som nom na.

Divide that by 200 immigration officers and its only 500 each

When I went back home on the 9th I arrived about 0830hrs and from check in to duty free in less than an hour. Last year I spent nearly an hour in the queue at passport control

Right, now listen.

If you are coming into LOS you will probably be faced with a massive queue. The idiots are now making you queue before you queue for passport control. Some moron will be checking your visa card etc.
Don't get involved with it.

Walk up the right hand side as if you are going into fast track VIP passport control.

When you are nearly at the booth turn left and duck under the roped off area and join the small queue at normal passport booth.
Act all confused. Nobody will say anything and it will save you an hour+.

It was like that when I arrived. A queue before the queue with arrivals card checked. I thought it was going to be a good 2 hours plus but surprisingly got through it in around 40 mins. Actually though that was alright considering how busy it was.

When i arrived i was at passport control for about 10 minutes then i had to wait 30 minutes for my bag
