They didn't go through passport control. Crossing the border by a minor. Passport control at the airport

Everything ever happens for the first time, including the flight by plane. Before boarding the aircraft, for example, at Domodedovo Airport, you will have to go through a number of formalities that can confuse an unprepared person. Here comes to the rescue step-by-step instruction so as not to get confused and have time to deal with the formalities before boarding the flight.

The thorny path to the plane

So, tickets on hand, what to do next at the airport? At this stage, people who first decide to fly on an airplane are lost. Knowledgeable and experienced travelers also went through this, so there is nothing wrong with the fact that, when they get to the airport for the first time, many experience stress, not knowing where to go. First you need to decide on all the segments of the path from the airport to the plane. There are only a few of them:

• check-in;
• baggage check-in;
• passage customs control;
• passage passport control;
• security control.

It sounds intimidating only for those who are the first time at the airport. With proper skill, all these stages are passed easily and quickly.

If a person is at the airport for the first time, what needs to be done step by step, detailed instructions will teach.

Check-in for a flight with tickets available takes place in two ways - online and at the airport. For the first time deciding to fly in an airliner, it is recommended to check in at the counter at the airport. When checking in, the passenger will be able to ask all questions directly to the employee and, in case of difficulty, ask for advice on further actions. As a rule, airline employees are willing to help and will always tell you where to go next. Check-in and weighing of luggage also takes place at the counter.

The passenger then receives boarding pass and follows further to pass customs control (if the flight is international).

The passenger is then subjected to security screening.

Another important stage for international flights is passport control, at which the passenger must present a passport. This stage takes place either between customs and security checks, or after passing through security, depending on how it is organized at the airport.

After passing all the formalities, you need to go to the waiting room and wait for the announcement of the flight.

Important! Many are worried: “I’m flying on an airplane for the first time and what should I do at the airport?” If the passenger is confused, information can be obtained at the check-in desk.

Features of check-in for a flight

When you get to the airport, you should carefully look around and find the information board, which lists the nearest flights and departure time. It is a large screen on which the table presents data on the nearest flights: number, airline name, destination and status.

Important! You should search for a flight by its number. Departure time and destination are unreliable guides as flight times are subject to change and destination different aircraft may match.

If check-in for a flight has already begun, opposite its number in the line on the scoreboard will be the inscription "check-in".

If near desired aircraft the inscription “on-time” is visible, which means that the flight departs on schedule and there are no changes. Usually, the start time of registration is written next to it. The inscription "delayed" next to the flight indicates its delay.

Thus, you should go to the check-in counter when the inscription “check-in” is visible opposite the flight number. In all other cases, registration is not available. The start of check-in for a flight is always marked with a corresponding inscription.

Reception number, necessary for the passenger, is also indicated on the information board in the line corresponding to the flight number. The next step is to go to the desired registration desk.

Check-in opens on average three hours before departure and closes 30-45 minutes before the flight.

You must present your own passport and ticket at the front desk. If the ticket was purchased in in electronic format You only need to show your passport. An airline employee will independently find a ticket by the name of the passenger.

Next to the counter there are scales on which luggage is placed for subsequent weighing. After determining the weight, a special tag with a barcode is attached to the luggage, thanks to which the luggage will not be lost along the way. Hand luggage is also weighed. Some airlines attach tags to hand luggage.

Check-in is completed when the airline employee has issued a boarding pass and baggage tags, on the basis of which it will be possible to receive baggage upon arrival at your destination. To prevent the tags from getting lost, it is customary to glue them on the cover of the passport or on the boarding pass.

At the front desk, you can choose a seat in the cabin. The earlier the passenger arrives for check-in, the higher the chance of getting the desired seat. In order to remember the first flight for a passenger on an airplane, it is recommended to take a seat by the window, but only if there is no fear of heights. If you are experiencing stress high altitude- sit in the aisle. At emergency exit more space legs, so these seats are comfortable for tall passengers.

What is "customs control"

When making international flights after registration, you must go through customs control. How customs control is carried out depends on the passenger's luggage.

There are a number of items that are taxed. Detailed list declared items should be found on the airline's website. As a rule, large sums of money in cash, expensive antiques or weapons are subject to duty.

If we don’t have any such items, we go to the green corridor. This direction is indicated by a large green sign and the corresponding inscription "nothing to declare", so it is impossible to confuse it.

If the passenger is carrying items subject to duty, you must go to the red corridor and fill out a customs declaration. You should familiarize yourself with an example of a form to fill out in advance, as there are many nuances.

Passage of security control

Before going through security control, passport control is carried out. The passenger must present an identity document - a passport of a citizen of the country for domestic flights and a passport for international flights. At some airports, this stage is carried out after passing through security control.

Before flying will be allowed on the flight, they will be checked by security personnel. This rule is mandatory for everyone and is observed at any airport in the world. The procedure is aimed at preventing objects that can be used for a terrorist hijacking of an airliner from getting on board an aircraft.

It is at this stage that cold and firearms, explosive and flammable liquids are detected.

Passengers must turn off any electronic items to pass security screening. In a special container, you should put all the items that you have with you, including hand luggage, a phone and a watch. One employee of the service shines through these objects with X-rays. At the same time, the passenger must take off his shoes (boot covers are given instead), a headdress and outerwear. These things are also X-rayed.

While the personal belongings are being checked, the passenger must pass through a metal detector, under the supervision of a second security officer. If everything is in order, the passenger is returned things and passed on. Don't worry, the staff will tell you everything you need to do.

If, due to religious or any other belief, the passenger does not want to take off his outer clothing and shoes, these items can be checked directly on him using an X-ray. At the security control stage, all liquids that are not properly packed are removed from passengers. There are a number of restrictions on how you can take liquid on an airplane. They should be studied very carefully, otherwise you will have to leave your property when passing control.

Important! Not everyone knows how to behave at the airport. Jokes about the presence of prohibited items are inappropriate and can serve as a reason for detaining a passenger, so you need to be serious when passing through control.

boarding the plane

After successfully completing all the formalities, the passenger enters the waiting area, from which boarding is carried out. Legally, the border has already been crossed, as the waiting area for boarding a flight is a neutral territory. This duty free zone is Duty Free. Shopping in Domodedovo or another airport will help brighten up the time before boarding is announced.

While waiting for boarding, you should carefully listen to all announcements so as not to accidentally miss a flight.

Having heard about the beginning of boarding the airliner, you need to proceed to one of the exits (“gate”). The number of the special exit is indicated in the boarding pass. At the exit, the airline employee will check the boarding pass and tear off the main part, leaving the passenger with a spine indicating the seat number.

There are two ways to get on board the aircraft: by telescopic ladder or by bus. How passengers get on board usually depends on the size of the airport. IN major airports you need to go along the telescopic ladder that leads to the aircraft. At smaller airports, transportation is by bus.

Important! Finding your seat in the salon is very easy. On the spine is written the number of the row and the letter indicating the place. Seats are marked above the seats. If a passenger flies on an airplane for the first time, flight attendants will always help and prompt if something is not clear.

If the passenger cannot sit down in his seat or another person has already sat down on him, you should contact the flight attendant.

Everything you need to know about luggage

Each airline has its own baggage rules. Usually, a passenger can carry one piece of hand luggage for free (weight 5-10 kg, depending on the carrier), and up to 20-30 kg in the luggage compartment. The exact standards for free baggage allowance, as well as size restrictions, should be found out in advance when booking tickets. Everything you need to know about baggage allowances is presented on the airline's website.

Low-cost airlines ( low cost airlines) are allowed to free transportation only hand luggage, for a large suitcase flying in the luggage compartment, you will have to pay extra.

The website of any airline provides a list of items prohibited for transportation on an airplane. Find out in advance to avoid a number of misunderstandings.

Most often there are misunderstandings when carrying liquids in hand luggage. Transportation liquid substances very strictly controlled. So, you can take liquid in a transparent container with a volume of up to 100 ml with you on board.

Important! The restriction on the carriage of liquids in the cabin applies to decorative cosmetics and medicines. In the cabin you should take everything that you may need during the flight.

Often there are overlaps, and luggage is lost along the way or arrives at the wrong airport. If your suitcase is lost, the following rules will help increase the likelihood of "reconnecting" with your own luggage:

1. Before checking in your luggage, it is recommended to take a picture of the contents of the suitcase and draw up detailed list all things. If the luggage is lost, having a photo will help you get compensation from the airline;
2. It is recommended to put your coordinates inside the suitcase, including your email. You can also purchase a special name tag and attach it inside the suitcase;
3. It is better to remove belts and wheels from the suitcase. These items often cause luggage to be delayed on the conveyor belt;
4. The suitcase should be bright and memorable, but not defiantly expensive. According to statistics, expensive suitcases are lost more often than cheap ones;
5. Valuable items (jewelry, documents, expensive equipment) are not recommended to be checked in as luggage.

Having received your luggage at your destination, you should immediately check its contents. If something is lost or damaged during the flight, it is recommended to immediately contact the airline representatives and write a complaint. The sooner the complaint is written, the sooner the carrier will respond to it.

Important! In no case should you write your home address in a suitcase and on a name tag, so as not to become a victim of scammers. To contact the owner of the suitcase, it is better to provide a phone number and email.

It is not difficult to deal with all the unrest that occurred with a passenger at the airport. Fear of the first stay at the airport, familiar to everyone, is easy to overcome. A second time registration will take place quickly, and all other formalities will take a little time to resolve when you already know all the nuances.

Passport control is one of the checks that all passengers of any airport are subjected to. This event is most carefully held for passengers of international destinations.

To pass, each passenger must have a passport and valid documents confirming the right to enter or exit the territory of the Russian Federation. At passport control, airport employees check only the legality of being in Russia. The rest of the checks for the availability of permits and visas for traveling abroad are carried out by the airline's employees.

Required documents for citizens of the Russian Federation

In order to prepare for passport control, you need to take with you one of the documents proving the identity of a citizen of the Russian Federation:

1. Passport of the Russian Federation (for domestic flights) or a foreign passport (for international).
2. Military ID.
3. Service passport.
4. Diplomatic passport.
5. Seaman's identity card.

Attention! Minor citizens can leave the territory of Russia only accompanied by one of their parents, guardians or adoptive parents. At the same time, a citizen can go through passport control both according to his international passport and according to the document of the parent, if his data is entered there accordingly. At the same time, if the period of stay abroad exceeds 3 months, then the consent to leave must be approved by the guardianship authorities. The Domodedovo airport administration also recommends that you carry a child's birth certificate with you.

Required documents for foreigners

Foreigners who do not have Russian citizenship can enter and leave the country only if they have the appropriate visas issued for valid documents. As soon as a foreign citizen arrives in Russia, he needs to fill out a migration card. It is kept with him throughout his stay in Russia and is rented out when traveling abroad. This document and visas can be issued at the consular offices of the Russian Federation in the country of a foreign citizen.

Airport controls

In order to get to passport control, you need to go through a number of other checks:

1. After everything Required documents collected, and the passenger has already arrived at the airport in advance, it is necessary to go through security at the entrance. After the passenger will pass through, inside there will be several points with metal detection frames and conveyors with X-rays for luggage. When it's your turn, place all suitcases and bags, including hand luggage, on the belt, and put your phone and other pocket items on the table. Go through the metal detector point and when the employees report that everything is in order, pick up your things and go on.

   

   

2. Now go to the scoreboard, which is located on the right immediately after the security control. On it you can see the number of the check-in desk for your flight. Go to the counters, look for yours and after the queue, go through the registration procedure. To do this, present your ticket and ID, after verification you will be issued a boarding pass. Sometimes the visa is also checked during the registration process. Place your luggage on the scales, after checking it will leave for luggage compartment aircraft.

   

   

3. Pre-flight screening involves checking for the transport of prohibited items. To pass it, you need to remove outerwear, watches, jewelry, belts, if they have metal inserts. Next, you need to put on the table all the small items, coins, phone. After that, go to the scanner, stand on the sign on the floor, and raise your hands. The employee may ask you to go through the procedure again. If everything is in order, you can move on.

   

4. Customs control. To pass it, you need to choose one of the corridors. Green suits passengers if they do not have goods subject to written declaration. Red - for those who have goods or currency over 10,000 euros, subject to mandatory declaration.

   

The procedure for passing border control

In order not to wait in lines, it is recommended to arrive at the airport early, at least 2.5 hours before the departure time of the aircraft. After registering for a ticket at the airline counter on the first floor, passengers go to the second floor. There, after passing through the customs counters, you can go to the passport control booths, or go down the escalator to the booths on the ground floor. There are some booths in Domodedovo that say "For Russian citizens / For Russian citizens". These cabins are made specifically for those who have Russian citizenship. All other cabins are for any passengers of any nationality.

On a note! The passport control procedure takes only a few minutes, however long lines often take time.

1. When it's your turn, you need to go to the counter. If you are flying with your family, you still need to approach one at a time. Children must be accompanied by their parents or guardians.
2. Give your passport and boarding pass to the border guard. Most often, documents with a stamp on leaving the country are immediately returned to the passenger.
3. The border control officer may ask you a number of questions. For example, “what is the purpose of the trip?”, “do you have another passport?”, “how long are you leaving?”. You should not be afraid, such questions are asked regularly and this does not mean at all that the border guards considered your documents suspicious. Just answer all questions as is.
4. One of the procedures at passport control is checking your debts on taxes and fines.

Attention! If you are flying in transit with a transfer, you will not need to go through passport control again. All you need to do is get a new boarding pass. In the vast majority of cases, upon check-in at Domodedovo, you will be given two boarding passes for both flights at once.

Prohibition to leave if there are debts

If your debts exceed 30,000 rubles, you may be banned from leaving the country. In case of debt on alimony, compensation for harm to health, moral damage and property damage, the debt should not exceed 10,000 rubles. If the court's claims for repayment of debts are overdue by 2 months or more, then the maximum amount of debts should also not exceed 10,000 rubles.

Important! A ban on leaving for debts can be imposed on you only after the court. Therefore, if you are on the list of debtors, most likely you will know about it. It is also recommended to check the possibility of departure in advance on special services that can be found online. This can be done for free on the website dolgi.ru. There were cases when a passenger lost all the money for a trip right at passport control just because of tax arrears.

Attention!Another important rule that many people neglect is to check the seal that the border guard put in the passport. Also check if date is readable.

A person planning an overseas rendezvous must be prepared to go through passport control. Sometimes this procedure can take a considerable amount of time from the passenger. To avoid trouble and unfortunate misunderstandings, the traveler must arrive at the airport 4-5 hours before departure.

Taking into account the fact that, or, for example, in traffic jams it may not be easy, you need to leave the house long before the plane takes off.

Many are interested in the question of what they check during passport control. First of all, the legality of departure abroad is checked. .

You can go through passport control after the end of the customs control procedure.

Subtleties of passport information

A person wishing to go through passport control undertakes to provide one of the following documents proving his identity:

• international passport;
• diplomat's passport;
• official passport;
• special passport of a sailor;
• certificate of return to Russia.

A subject of any foreign power entering the territory Russian state, as well as when traveling, undertakes to provide employees border service valid documents. Special attention given to the validity period of the passport.

Crossing the border by a minor

To go through passport control with a minor in 2019, you will need to prepare in advance. Otherwise, the passenger may face serious troubles.

If a minor is accompanied by both parents, then his data must be entered in the passport of the father or mother. If the child is already 5 years old at the time of the trip, you must provide a high-quality photograph of him.

If the father and mother have different surnames, then you must have his birth certificate with you.

The situation looks somewhat different when a child goes to a foreign rendezvous only with his father or mother. In this case, at the airport, you must provide not only a birth certificate, but also. The permission must be notarized.

The permit must contain information about the country to which the child is traveling. It is also necessary to indicate the period of time during which the minor will be outside the Russian state.

When a child travels abroad unaccompanied, then, in addition to a passport, he will need to present an authorization document to leave from his father and mother. This permission must also be certified by a notary.

Memo when exercising control

The procedure for passing through passport control begins when the passenger has already checked in for the flight, checked in his luggage and received a boarding pass. You need to move to the right side of the registration desks. Goal number one is the stairs that lead to the second floor. Having risen there, the passenger finds himself in the passport control zone.

The rules for passing control at the airport in 2019 are the same for everyone. They are as follows:

• having risen to the 2nd floor, you need to select a post and stand in line;
• when the queue comes up, you need to show your passport to the border guard (along with an identity document, you should provide a boarding pass);
• get a passport and follow to the neutral zone.

You don't have to get close to the post. You need to timely pay attention to the red line before the post. It is important to understand that this line marks Russian border. A person who violates the border has every chance of being in the place of a hero from a wonderful Soviet film"Passport".

Many are embarrassed by the intent, "studying" look of the border guards. Do not be embarrassed and turn your face away. The border guard simply compares the face he sees in front of him with the picture in the passport.

Sometimes border guards ask passengers questions. Most often, passengers are interested in where they received their passport and who accompanies them on the trip. Answer questions calmly, without nerves. If a border guard officer is embarrassed by one or another detail in the provided foreign passport, he may ask to present a general passport.

If the traveler has a second passport, then it makes sense to take him to the airport as well. If traveling abroad is tourist visa, then you must additionally have a paid tourist voucher or other document indicating the point of arrival.

In addition, it is advisable to have tickets to reverse side. The date of departure home must precede the expiry date of the visa.

Latest innovations

Many metropolitan airports V Lately began to actively introduce new passport control technologies. Modern technologies assume automated control when crossing the border. According to the city authorities, this innovation helps to speed up the passage of all relevant formalities.

Today, only those Russians who have biometric foreign passports can appreciate the benefits of this know-how.

Thanks to this innovation, the passenger gets rid of the need to communicate with a border guard officer. To carry out the necessary procedure, he will only need to attach his passport to the scanner. After that, the traveler is allowed to pass through the turnstile.

In other countries, smart cards are used for this procedure. It is also customary to use special systems to recognize faces in a three-dimensional image. The same systems allow for identification based on fingerprints and other anatomical features. Identification is carried out even on the basis of the iris of the passenger's organs of vision.

The automated system of the largest Russian airport Sheremetyevo has successfully passed test operation. Not so long ago, two booths were installed in Terminal E, assuming only automated service. The example of Sheremetyevo was followed by another major Russian airport - Domodedovo.

After passing through customs control, the passenger goes to passport control.

Do you have a Schengen visa that you obtained yourself through Visa Center France in Moscow, following .
You got it because you are not a ragamuffin, not a refugee, not a criminal, not a stupid person.
You are an independent and accomplished traveler.

To shut up those who, foaming at the mouth, tear their shirts off, claiming some mythical acquaintances (however, without citing their data), they wrapped up with some sort of schengen visa at the entrance to some schengen country different from the one that issued you the visa, I will write some fictitious dialogues at passport control that you will never have.
Let another article appear in the first places in the search results regarding obtaining and using a Schengen visa in France.

Yes, I forgot to emphasize: you just got a visa and it's brand new.
And here's what's amazing and I'll emphasize this: IT WILL REMAIN BRAND NEW - THAT IS WITHOUT BORDER STAMPS.
Well, they don’t put border stamps on it, even if you crack.
Stamps are put on single-entry, short visas, and some sleepy border guards can smear their stamp on a multivisa, but this rarely happens.

Immediately ask yourself the question: how will other border guards or French consular employees (if they have enough time to flip through more than 1 page of a passport out of a thousand daily receipts) be able to determine which country you entered for the first time?
This is again: my stamps are the way the employee at passport control decided to squeeze his pusher.

To tell the truth, I'm behaving quite boldly now - in Iceland I reprimanded a campaigner who intended to emboss his stamp on a blank page and showed him where to slap with his finger.
He hesitated, but obeyed.

This is how you should behave at passport control: calmly, with dignity ( you eat loot to spend, not to ask for alms) and sure.
I will allow myself brief dialogues, invented by me, since there may not be any dialogues. But you need to be ready for them.
The initial data is: French multi visa for 3 months, for half a year, for a year, etc.: in passport.
I arrive at:

Germany. Option 1 (no car rental in Germany)
- Purpose of your trip
— Tourism
- I'm going to France
_ ??? How, show tickets and reservations
- Shown:

• booking printout return air ticket Paris - Moscow (booked by phone at Aeroflot, received by mail in the form of a pdf file and not paid - about 10 minutes)

It is said in words: I am now going to buy a ticket to Paris by train and today I am leaving there.

Germany. Option 2 (you rent a car in Germany and drive around Austria and Italy. You have a rent car reservation made through, for example)
_ Purpose of your trip?
— Tourism
— Why do you have a French visa?
- I'm going to France
— ??? How, show tickets and reservations
- Shown:

• a printout of a hotel reservation in Paris that was booked, printed out and canceled free of charge (2 minutes and 1 sheet of printer paper)
• printout of car reservation: receiving - airport in Germany, delivery - airport in Germany
• printout of a real return ticket Germany - Moscow

And in words and fingers it is explained: I ( how do you turn the steering wheel) going to Paris, hanging out there, and then ( how do you turn the steering wheel) to Germany, I rent a car and that “hom” ( show with your hand how the plane takes off)

Spain. Option 1

• a printout of a hotel reservation in Paris that was booked, printed out and canceled free of charge (2 minutes and 1 sheet of printer paper)
• printout of the reservation of the return flight Paris - Moscow (booked by phone, received by mail in the form of a pdf file and forgotten - about 10 minutes of time)

It is said: I am now going to buy a ticket to Paris on a steam locomotive (circular movements of the hands near the body are shown and pronounced in the voice “tu-tu”) and today I am leaving.

Spain. Option 2

Croatia. Option 1, Option 2
the same thing that he said and showed in Germany (see above)

You can come up with option 3.4 if you imagine the situation: you were presented with air tickets to Croatia, but you need to go to Paris - you want to visit the Pere la Chaise cemetery at the grave of Karl Marx.
This is how you would move from Croatia to Paris: through Slovenia to Trieste, then through Italy Venice-Verona-Milan-Sanremo-Nice-Marseille-Lyon-Paris…

Monstrous? - Yes, but France is not only Paris, but Nice, for example, and Aeroflot flies there.
Therefore, in the case of Croatia, Option 1 we have return tickets will be from Nice, and to Nice from Croatia to go - 1 day of normal drive.
I drove without stress.

What I want to say: I want to say that everything can be explained in a calm and confident tone, it can be done in Russian (I always explain myself in Russian if necessary, adding to this the polite “Where are you please” or “Yes sir”) and remember: you go to them to spend your loot, and not to ask for alms.

Another advantage of the French Schengen visa, which can be easily obtained using.
