My First Air Travel Part-3

Hi All,

This blog is a continuation of my previous blog, we reached the Fly Emirates counter around 12:50AM and we were waiting in front of the counter. Around 1AM the Fly Emirates officials opened the counter and we were in queue for getting the boarding pass. Since we reached the counter three hours prior to the flight departure, there was no rush in the counter and got the boarding pass without any huddles. But they gave Immigration Form and asked to fill the required details.

As expected, when we were filling any new kind of form we would come across lots of doubts even though we know what to be filled in for that question. So Velshankar and I clarified our doubts form one Fly Emirates official and completed filling the form and we went to the Indian Immigration Bureau counter for immigration clearance. There also no rush since we were in advance for the immigration check. Before us there was an poor man who was not educated and he was not able to answer the questions that were asked from his passport details. So he was rejected in the immigration check. So I had little fear, after seeing that incident.

I was called for immigration check before Velshankar, the official asked many questions to me. His questions and my answers as follows,

1. Why you are go to The Netherlands?
I told, I am having a business meeting with Hans Don(I was already prepared for this question, since Magesh told that they will surely ask to the first time traveler). Also shown my invitation later that was given by Vanenburg Software BV(NL Office).

2. Which company your belong to and where it is located?
Vanenburg Software located in Coimbatore.

3. You are from Tamil Nadu, you can go to Amsterdam via Chennai and why you are here?
I explained the story of relation between Cordys and Vanenburg.

4. When you are coming back to India?
I told, will return in three weeks.

Then he stamped my Visa and I was cleared the immigration check. Velshankar called for immigration check after me but he was cleared that before me and he was waiting for me in near the security lounge.

To be continued..

Thanks,
Ramesh Kumar Gurusamy.
