Honestly, is it just me, or is the video quality insanely good for this being 20 years old? If I watch old supernanny episodes, they're always abysmally grainy
Regular film is good quality like this back then but there is digital camera already but for video record is junk. So I think they film with film camera then export to digital later today.ut
You just need to admit you were lying or 'misread/misunderstood' once the immigration officer asks you if you fully understood something. These border officers give a lot of second chances.
omg you are going to make me cry.... it still feels so relevant. I wish there was like a get together of these people ... where they are and what are they doing in their lives now...

So, I was curious about Deborah and Matthew, considering this took place almost two decades ago: turns out that Matthew was charged with assault on his neighbour around 2016.

@@mathias61That's the intrigue & why reality TV is so successful. People watching become invested in the lives & stories of others, and it's human nature to seek resolution.
"Oh you have a fiancé and have lived here and have an Australian bank account and history in this country?.....DENIED"...."Oh, American coming to meet a girlfriend with no address, can't confirm identity of her, and limited funds? WELCOME!" This is silly.
@@zoiefinnian3540 I think you missed the basis for exclusion. The first girl did not have the right visa. Sad for her but against the rules and led to automatic exclusion. Second person has not breached any rules, was a silly guy, but was given a couple of days. He had no contacts, no money, and no reason to stay.
@@stevenkovler5133 She was specifically told she could not return to Australia for 3 years. She ignored that and applied for a Visa she knew she didn't qualify for anyway and thought she could bluff her way in when she knew full well she wasn't allowed to. It's the law, you can't flout it just because you feel like it.
the korean dude was hilarious. He overstayed his visa by 8 years and tells the staff when they caught him lying about his passport and replies,"you think your good" 😂
Why do they lie? I just don't get it, they know they have the food and that their cases will be checked etc. How are they not embarrassed? Then argue about it when they get caught, lol I would fine them for lying to my face in addition to the other fine.
Why struggle with all the extra weight? Is there no food in their home country? I would not even carry anything for myself, I just obey the rules as it's much easier. Only my purse as hand luggage. Folks stop giving grief to yourself. I love watching the show though just to see silly people.
@@LapaLex-u1xyou can get most of the food that these people carry you can get right there in Australia 🇦🇺 but it might just be more expensive that is probably why they bring it
Don't overstay your visa. It's very simple. You have a VISA for X amount of months, leave before that. I don't get why people think they can just come and go as they please without checking for when they are supposed to go home. I've been a world traveler since I was a child. My father explained this to me and I never overstayed a visa in my life.
I wish "over staying ones visa" was the only issue we had here in America.. Imagine having millions of unvetted people sneaking into your country every year - without ANY visa, or even an ID in many cases!
It appears that NO compelling or compassionate reasons will EVER prevent anyone's Australian visa from being cancelled. The ten minutes is just so they can be entertained while you GROVEL😂🤣
Exactly 👍 the most important about that 10 mints could , cause the traverse lots of stress,to get more information out of them - but they still cancel their visa over bank money always … automatically if they got 500 box for one month or 1500 for 10 days - it doesn’t matter- this videos are for 20 years a go - back then 1000 American box - could pay for a week . But they just want more money to let them in .
Border security: "When they get upset, that tells me they are doing something illegal." Also border security: "If they were innocent, why aren't they getting upset about this?" 🙃
Or what about “why would he use the same Passphoto, 1 year after another.” Yeah I don’t know mate, maybe because you get like 10 copies? You think I’ve eaten them in around 300 days? Just weird “for the camera” takes.

Why do people travel with a buffet? I can understand if there’s a reason to eat specific foods or with a diet. But, You can buy apples, carrots and bananas in any major city. These New Yorkers are so rude.
"Why I must pay a fine?" BECAUSE YOU LIED!! MAYBE IF YOU LEARNED TO TELL THE TRUTH YOU CAN KEEP YOUR FOOD!! "We need to eat!!" Ummm, it's called A GROCERY STORE!! Stop acting so self righteous fool man!! Follow the rules, tell the truth, and you won't have to pay!!!
I will never understand why people intentionally smuggle in food that you can buy in nearly every supermarket here. Even people who live here do it. It's also a waste of money, if you want to bring something back why not bring back something legal you can't buy here? You have limited space in your luggage, why waste it and risk fines?
I've talked with my Chinese labmates, who are convinced that no matter who made the food, where they made it and from what ingredients, it's only REALLY edible if it's by a Chinese in China with Chinese ingredients. Everything else is at most "tolerable" to them.

Deborah may appear sympathetic but she’s not innocent. She overstayed the original (valid) visa by 4 months before seeking another visa which she now learns is invalid. She knew she was excluded for 3 years from breaching the valid one. That said, I hope she’s able to return and have a lasting relationship. Also, nothing is stopping Matthew from traveling to see her in the UK. That person who gave her wrong advice should be prosecuted.

Another tell-tale sign was her mentioning wanting to check her future visa sponsorship, implying she was actively seeking work while on a tourist visa-a blatant violation of the rules.

Woman clearly broke immigration laws. She knew what she was doing. She should get sent back. When I get a visa Im quite aware of the time I have. Im not a child, nor is she. Follow the rules and stop crying for what you know you did.
What's funny is, I have same picture on documents issued 8 years apart, and all my friends do it as well, cuz it's a hassle getting those pics and you get multiple so you save them especially if you look good! Also I did fill out an arabic declaration card without knowing a single character before. Better to never go to australia.
Don’t they take your driver’s license picture in person when you get it? That’s what they do in America. There is no way to have the same photo on your driver’s license and passport.
I brought back 14 saris from a visit to Qatar in 2007. Customs at Heathrow just rolled their eyes at me, and US Customs in L.A. grinned. I had shown both photos of my hobby, medieval reenactment (SCA). The saris were to make silk costumes from the 12th and 13th century for me and friends. Customs let me through at both, with me leaving SCA contact info to join their local branches if interested. ❤
I like the blonde border patrol agent I can't believe it we know he's got something😂 you mean he wants to get away with it and not go to jail that's unbelievable😂 this guy's a real student of human nature. He picked the right job😂😂 why would a criminal deny their crime😅😅
it's really strange that you cancel your flight to London then suddenly you are buying tickets to Australia from South Africa) why would anyone do that? it's really expensive. And he didn't provide a reasonable answer for that simple question.
I totally agree. It takes a special kind of arrogance and a special kind of stupidity to break the law in a foreign country and expect to get away with it.
I love the Australian and British videos - the security people are kind and thorough! The Canadian customs folks on the other hand are just downright rude. I am amazed about all the Asian people that attempt to smuggle items through the border and lie about their efforts.
I agree the Australian and British agents are very polite and yet thorough. The American and Canadian custom agents are pompous and holier than thou when doing their job. The American and Canadian agents should understand that to their proctologist they're just another a******and nothing more!
They claimed he is not a genuine tourist... I'd like to see them try to prove that. Customs like to blabber on about legal documents... they just made a false declaration themselves. The might stink, he might be a mess... but that doesn't mean he's not going home after his 7-10 days.
How can the BORDER AGENTS get a POSITIVE USAGE from the SWABS when they themselves ARE HANDLING IT WITH BARE HANDS!! THEY COULD BE CONTAMINATING THE SWABS FROM OTHER PASSENGERS LUGGAGE!! 🤦🏻♀️😏
I cant believe that they cancelled the poor pensioners vacation wasted all the money that he spent on ticket and hotel accomidations. He probably doesn't make very much from his pension and was trying to enjoy the few years he had left and he was trying to do it on the cheap.....poor guy
Poor Thomas just wanted to have a cheap low maintenance vacay. I mean, the man showers once a week. So why would he bring a lot of clothes, since I imagine that means he also only changes once a week. Poor guy! He’s just a bit different.
When they said that Singapore airlines was fined 5,000$ for fly the guy without a visa…is that because they flew him into Australia or because they had to transport him to wherever it was?
The fine is due to Singapore Airlines not verifying that the guy had a valid Visa. Singapore dropped the ball, and will have to pay the above fine. I would imagine that the passenger will have to work out the cost of the return flight with the airline. A friend of mine who works for a US-based International airline told me that the airlines have to have a certain # of seats available on each International flight for use by each country's Border/Immigration Agency for officially deporting individuals. And yes, this means that passengers may involuntarily get bumped off the outbound flight to make room for the deportees. And if you happen to be flying Stand By/Space Available status (employees, family members, retirees, etc. on vacation), you'll be the first off the flight.

He didn’t use gloves when he transferred the swab to the machine. Who knows if it came off the officer.
Not only that, but anyone can pickup trace drugs on their credit cards, ID cards etc.. Over 95% of all paper money in America has trace amounts, which can then transfer onto other things.
@@jamesinson3488 I also loved their suspicion about an Italian visiting Denmark for "just" two days, as if that's something strange for someone living in Europe. =D
They use the positive on the machine as a pretext to search. They know it’s not accurate.
I wish they’d do a follow-up show on this series!
1:06:40 dude missed the perfect opportunity to go full Crocodile Dundee and say "That's not a knife"
No idea how Border Patrol agents endure this everyday- no matter the country! God bless border patrols worldwide
I like Mr.Thomas ❤...
He knows how to budget to be able to travel the world when he feels...
he took what he needed,
an even that is suspect after all else checked out°!
he jus needs to 🚿 more an care more about his hygiene.
his smile at the end was so Precious 😊
You can t mess with australian customs. They are the best.
Them: a friend...
Officers: what is thier name?
Them: 🫨
I wonder if Deborah was able to sue or press charges against the immigration lawyer who gave her that visa.
Or if there actually was such a person 😂
Grace, the drug sniffing dog: “ PAPA I FOUND IT! HE’S GOT IT!”
Go Emma! She’s fantastic ✈️
Woman clearly broke immigration laws. She knew what she was doing. She should get sent back. When I get a visa Im quite aware of the time I have. Im not a child, nor is she. Follow the rules and stop crying for what you know you did.
Sniffy Blue is an ex-pound dog!!
How 'bout That Blue!
As an American hearing “there could be around 50,000 people staying illegally in Australia is wild”.
Really?.....20 million illegally over the US border in the last 3.5 years isn't "wild"?
I love you Australia❤
What's funny is, I have same picture on documents issued 8 years apart, and all my friends do it as well, cuz it's a hassle getting those pics and you get multiple so you save them especially if you look good! Also I did fill out an arabic declaration card without knowing a single character before. Better to never go to australia.
I was thinking the same thing.
Don’t they take your driver’s license picture in person when you get it? That’s what they do in America. There is no way to have the same photo on your driver’s license and passport.
“The way I maneuver is different than other people” honestly a g line
So hilarious 😂
I brought back 14 saris from a visit to Qatar in 2007. Customs at Heathrow just rolled their eyes at me, and US Customs in L.A. grinned. I had shown both photos of my hobby, medieval reenactment (SCA). The saris were to make silk costumes from the 12th and 13th century for me and friends. Customs let me through at both, with me leaving SCA contact info to join their local branches if interested. ❤
Wish all airports and countrys were this tight but also this toan. Dont have to pull guns or yell. Keep calm and smart.
I like the blonde border patrol agent I can't believe it we know he's got something😂 you mean he wants to get away with it and not go to jail that's unbelievable😂 this guy's a real student of human nature. He picked the right job😂😂 why would a criminal deny their crime😅😅
it's really strange that you cancel your flight to London then suddenly you are buying tickets to Australia from South Africa) why would anyone do that? it's really expensive. And he didn't provide a reasonable answer for that simple question.
@@Firespirit233 not what I was talking about at all but thanks for your response.
😂😂@@chrisk7626
😂😂 we all have an opinion right🤭😋🤣
1:53 them talking about Steve Irwin brought a tear to my eye ❤
Simple….don’t break the law…regardless how big or small
Do the crime pay the time .
I totally agree. It takes a special kind of arrogance and a special kind of stupidity to break the law in a foreign country and expect to get away with it.
Or……..hear me out
Harsher punishment to deter future criminals
The fines are a joke
I love the Australian and British videos - the security people are kind and thorough! The Canadian customs folks on the other hand are just downright rude. I am amazed about all the Asian people that attempt to smuggle items through the border and lie about their efforts.
I agree the Australian and British agents are very polite and yet thorough. The American and Canadian custom agents are pompous and holier than thou when doing their job.
The American and Canadian agents should understand that to their proctologist they're just another a******and nothing more!
Love that ponytail guy ❤
Australia should pass this jail time and all these information about Americans to USA 🇺🇸
That man looks like Mr Eko from lost.
@Firespirit233….He sure does!!!🤔
"Don't mistake coincidence for fate."
Thought same.
I love how the Korean man was trying to negotiate with the Officer. You are traveling on someone else’s passport. Shut up and sit down!
I felt sorry for Thomas. He checked out legally. They just didn't like his hygiene. I'm sure he was just checking something off of his bucket list.
lol...although the dropping of the drawers and adjusting himself, they may have worried about invasive bugs. 🤭🤷♀
They claimed he is not a genuine tourist... I'd like to see them try to prove that.
Customs like to blabber on about legal documents... they just made a false declaration themselves.
The might stink, he might be a mess... but that doesn't mean he's not going home after his 7-10 days.
@@MissFoxification Agree.
Swabbing the cards in a person's wallet is wild.
i feel sad for Bobby who flew back with the engagement ring
I’m always nervous when I travel
How can the BORDER AGENTS get a POSITIVE USAGE from the SWABS when they themselves ARE HANDLING IT WITH BARE HANDS!! THEY COULD BE CONTAMINATING THE SWABS FROM OTHER PASSENGERS LUGGAGE!! 🤦🏻♀️😏
They use a positive result in the machine as a justification to search further. They know it’s not accurate.
Just amazed by dogs officer work😊😊
I cant believe that they cancelled the poor pensioners vacation wasted all the money that he spent on ticket and hotel accomidations. He probably doesn't make very much from his pension and was trying to enjoy the few years he had left and he was trying to do it on the cheap.....poor guy
Now he has time to shower
But what does clothes have anything to do with all of there inquiries that's just silly
Poor Thomas just wanted to have a cheap low maintenance vacay. I mean, the man showers once a week. So why would he bring a lot of clothes, since I imagine that means he also only changes once a week. Poor guy! He’s just a bit different.
I hope he kept the receipt from Cosco to return the ring.
@@elizabethstops2362 right!!!
When they said that Singapore airlines was fined 5,000$ for fly the guy without a visa…is that because they flew him into Australia or because they had to transport him to wherever it was?
The fine is due to Singapore Airlines not verifying that the guy had a valid Visa. Singapore dropped the ball, and will have to pay the above fine.
I would imagine that the passenger will have to work out the cost of the return flight with the airline. A friend of mine who works for a US-based International airline told me that the airlines have to have a certain # of seats available on each International flight for use by each country's Border/Immigration Agency for officially deporting individuals. And yes, this means that passengers may involuntarily get bumped off the outbound flight to make room for the deportees. And if you happen to be flying Stand By/Space Available status (employees, family members, retirees, etc. on vacation), you'll be the first off the flight.
Australia does a good job protecting their country. Australia might be the only legitimate country left.
someone once gave me a lot of homegrown oranges out in California. When we got to the airport we were told they were not legal to take into the airport. We ran over to a truck driver and gave him the oranges so we didnt have to throw them away.
Emmanuel looks like Steven Seagal.
Any country will not allow a person back in when they over stayed their visa. She knew what she was doing.
