The office stopped processing the person on the regular line and asked to see my passport. There was no X on my receipt, so he let me go.

Also, the custom officer asked to see the passport after I handed the GE receipt. I have heard that people were asked to show passport when exiting the custom, but haven't heard the procedure to show the passport when passing the nearest immigration officer.

So, is it required or was it a local thing? What's your experiences at other POE?
