When the average person is ready to go abroad, do they carefully check the validity period of their visas and passports? However, there are also Ma Daha, the visa expired but set off, of course, the destination can not be reached.

One of my former colleagues was such a Ma Daha. He was Chinese-American, and one year the company sent him to China for a meeting, and he thought that the visa was no problem and set off, but in fact, his visa had expired.

His flight was from our local flight to Chicago and then to Beijing, under normal circumstances, because it was an international flight coupon, he had to check the visa when checking in for the flight to Chicago. As a result, the person who checked in with the airline on the same day also neglected to check him in.

He found out that his visa had expired before he flew to Chicago and called me to check if I could go to Beijing to sign on arrival or apply for an emergency visa at the Chicago consulate.

I know that the visa on arrival is definitely not, but I will help him confirm it responsibly. A visa to the Consulate in Chicago is also not feasible because the consulate is closed when he arrives in Chicago, it is Friday, he must go to the consulate on Monday, and no one knows when he can get the visa.

Report the situation to the boss, who says let him come back.

Because the airline was at fault, he flew home from Chicago for free.
