This is a serious matter! For those seeking a 100% guaranteed approval, let me be clear: there is no such thing!!! Claims of having connections within the embassy or immigration office are false. Those who pursue such schemes risk facing legal consequences. Some people expect a 100% guarantee, and if they don't get it, they ignore you. Ayan sad! Kulungan ang bagsak tsk! 🙄

BI INTERCEPTS COUPLE AT NAIA FOR FAKE NETHERLANDS VISA
PASAY, Philippines—In line with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s directive to strengthen border security and combat human trafficking, the Bureau of Immigration (BI) intercepted a married couple at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) for attempting to leave the country with a counterfeit Netherlands visa.
BI Commissioner Joel Anthony Viado said the agency remains committed to protecting the country’s borders from fraudsters and syndicates exploiting Filipinos.
“Our officers are well-trained to detect fraudulent travel documents,” said Viado. “We warn the public against unscrupulous groups offering fake visas. These schemes not only waste hard-earned money but also put travelers at risk of legal consequences.”
BI immigration protection and border enforcement (I-PROBES) chief Mary Jane Hizon reported that the couple, aged 26 and 28, attempted to board a Cathay Pacific flight to Amsterdam, pretending to be tourists. However, immigration officers found their Netherlands visa suspicious.
A thorough examination by the BI’s forensic documents laboratory confirmed that the visa was counterfeit. Upon questioning, the couple admitted to paying P268,000 for their travel arrangements, which included the fake visa.
Viado stressed that the BI remains vigilant against immigration fraud, adding that individuals caught using falsified documents will face strict legal consequences.
The couple was turned over to the Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking (IACAT) for further investigation. #
