A visa label should be stuck in the passport. If it's not there I would say she's been denied

eExtension is a waste of money. Just make a regular online booking

The two people I know on OX visas never get their insurance looked at. You cannot get a five year insurance policy, so your term will never correspond with entry dates, so I imagine it's one of those "too difficult" matters and it's just as easy for airport immigration to stamp until the end of the five year period. Perhaps they assume immigration offices are checking on the insurance, although neither of my buddies had been "summoned" to appear.

I look for the best deals, but I don't travel with budget airlines. My first choices are SIA and Qatar, depending on what part of the world I'm flying to.

@Andrew ******

Haha! I really don't think the airlines will worry too much! You create a lot of extra hassle for yourself. I travel constantly and it's the last thing I'd be bothered about, but hey, to each their own! 🤣

@Jeff ********

What big red stamp? 🤣

@Andrew ******

That's correct. The airline has to foot the bill and then try to get the money from the customer, the problem being if they've allowed the customer to board, the airline is also at fault. That's why many airlines are paranoid, others maybe not so because they haven't yet had their fingers burned, but I think we'll see a lot more of this in the future

It all depends on what the check-in staff have been directed to do. They have no discretion on these matters, and sometimes have to refer to a more senior team member who can make decisions. I have a non-O retirement visa with a re-entry permit, but still I have been asked to show outbound journey. When I explain about the visa, the check-in agent will make a phone call to the decision-maker. It hasn't happened often to me, but I travel a lot and so going by percentages it's not much, but airlines have to safeguard their own position.

@Andrew ******

This is the specific clause in the SIA Terns and Conditions relating to the passenger's responsibilities. You'll find all airlines will have similar

@Andrew ******

It's very hit and miss. Not so much the airline but the check-in staff who often work for a separate company contracted to the airline. Airlines very seldom use their own staff at check-in counters.
