Sounds like he surrendered himself at the airport.

the news article does not provide other details, but consider this: if the overstayer was leaving the country, why not fine and let him/her go to the airplane? Surrendering to the IO at the airport is strange, but if the airport IO did the same as the town's local IO, he/she would normally not be detained and put in the news. Very strange.Garrett ***********

Yeah doesn't make sense. Sounds like immigration wasn't following the rules.Jorge ****

or the overstayer refused to pay up. I read a few years ago an European lady refused to pay 3 days overstay at a land border and was locked up. Unfortunately, the bureaucracy did not work as it should have and she was "lost" for a number of days... in jail.Activity
