Immigration Officer

An immigration officer’s job is to check visitors’ passports and to verify identity.

They work in airports, train stations, boat docks, and other places where people can enter the country.

When arriving in a new country, an immigration officer may ask visitors a few questions like:

  • How long are you staying?
  • Why are you visiting?
  • Whom are you visiting?

These questions are asked to be sure visitors plan to return their home countries.
