T is for Tourist, O for officer.
O: Your passport please.
T: Here it is.
O: Your visa had expired three days ago, what did you do here?
T: I’m sorry, but it’s just three days. I’m only a traveler. It’s not a big problem, right?
O: No, your visa is expired, and this is a very serious problem.
T: Sir, I’m not a criminal and I did nothing illegal in your country. What difference will three days make? Could you please let me go?
O: I’m sorry, your visa was valid for three months, and you have exceeded the time limit, which is a violation of our country's immigration law.
T: I request you again to give me an exception and I swear that I won’t do things like this again.
O: If we give you an exception, then we have to do it for everybody.
T: Sir, it’s almost the boarding time. Please stamp on my passport and I will be thankful to you.
O: All the loss is on yourself, it’s your fault and you have to undertake the results. Well, if you want to finish this issue quickly, follow this gentleman to his office and you will be told how to handle it.
T: Sir, please tell me how to end up this problem.
O: Take it easy, please have a seat.
O: Listen, your visa has expired and you have been staying illegally in our country for three days.
T: Then?
O: I will send you to a prosecutor and he will file a lawsuit on you, then you will be convicted by a judge. The possible result is the deportation order and a violation record in our immigration record system against you.
T: It sounds horrible. Will I attend the court?
O: Yes, and you have to wait until tomorrow morning for a court session. Before that, you will be under the immigration department custody.
T: Sir, please do me the favor, I don’t want to be imprisoned and I need to go back early as my plane is almost departing.
O: Well, there is another choice, by which you can finish this issue right now and then catch your plane immediately.
T: What’s that?
O: You need to sign this statement of confession and pay some money as a penalty.
T: That’s not a problem. As long as I can depart immediately, I will pay the penalty.
T: By the way, what’s a statement of confession, will that affect me?
O: The confession means your agree you have violated our law, you have no problem to accept the penalty and you won’t appeal for it. As for effect, if you apply for the visa later, immigration officers will take your confession into consideration, and they might not give you visa as easy as before.
T: OK, if that’s all, I have no problem. Please start the procedure.
O:Sign this paper and pay the penalty to that lady, and she will give you the invoice.
