Yep, I believe that is the case. Will arrange for a visa. I am just saying that the airline visa check is so that they don't have to bear the cost of transporting someone out if they can't clear immigration. In my case, they wouldn't have to since I already have a ticket on the same airline. So it shouldn't matter but I know it does.

Yep, true again and no way to do that. Thanks for the info beep88 and tide.
