Almost didnt make it to tokyo..
Oops, i had assumed that a visa wasn't required. On departure date, 530am at United counter, Changi.. e staff informed a visa was mandatory, n without one there was 99.9% chance of getting deported!Not only that, i would have to pay for security escort & deportation charges!!
Well... here i am in e wee early hours at e Airport, will just take a chance.
"Sorry maam, we cannot allow you to board e plane". The counter crew made a few calls & said.. nope, no boarding. Now.. trying to plead my way through, in all e midst of hopelessness somehow surprisingly after a few minutes & calls, they said OK! Ooh... can u imagine that ;) ! (tho e guy was saying.. well, fr our experience, it is almost certain deportation)
And it was a breeze at Tokyo Narita, took an extra 30min, some questions from a very courteous immigration, and i was in TOKYO!
