I'm 23 and I'm Filipino. I got here in Moscow 5 days ago.
I didn't have problems with passport control... perhaps it's because I used the services of a "Fast Track" company.
As for customs, I had around 97 kilos (like 150+ pounds) of luggage with me, spread over 4 huge suitcases.
What's funny though is they didn't ask to scan the 4 suitcases.
instead, they opted for my carry-on handbag so off i put my handbag on the scanner
then they let me through. |
