After a long flight, the last step before your adventure is customs and immigration. A few clear English phrases make this quick and stress-free. This guide gives you exactly what to say to officers with confidence.
Quick Answer
English for Customs and Immigration gives you the practical English and cultural know-how you need, with a clear vocabulary table and a soundtrack of original songs to set the mood.
At Immigration
At immigration, an officer checks your passport and may ask the purpose of your visit and how long you will stay. Simple, honest answers are all you need. Have your documents ready and answer politely, and you will be on your way in moments.
Going Through Customs
At customs you may be asked whether you have anything to declare, such as large amounts of cash or restricted goods. Most travelers simply walk through the nothing-to-declare lane. Knowing these phrases keeps the process smooth and easy.
