TRAVEL ADVISORY: POSSESSION OF FAKE IMMIGRATION STAMP ON PASSPORT IS SUBJECT TO IMMEDIATE DEPORTATION By: Philippine Embassy

The Philippine Embassy in Seoul is advising Filipinos in Korea to be alert against the use of fake Philippine Immigration exit stamp on their Philippine passports to expedite travel to Korea. Some unscrupulous individuals entice travelers to apply through them for a fee with a promise to facilitate their entry to Korea through the use of fake exit immigration stamps. Ambassador Cruz appealed to the Filipino community to be cautious and avoid dealing with fixers before leaving the country. It is important that Filipino travelers should be aware that under Korean Immigration Laws, the penalty for this kind of immigration fraud is immediate deportation and ban from traveling to Korea for a period of five (5 ) years. The Embassy has recommended a thorough investigation of this form of Immigration fraud to the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs
