- staticelf 10y agoUpon arriving in Finland the passport control officer even welcomed me in my native tounge (Swedish). If come through passport control in the nordic countries I can guarantee they will be friendly.
- Markoff 10y agoi had pretty good experiences in Philippines or Malaysia, i would say at least third of immigration officers i met at various borders were friendly. from Europe recently we had very nice Polish woman officer who was very welcoming to our family with small child in EU passports queue despite my wife not being from EU worst experiences were probably Austrian Nazi guys investigating repeatedly my wife's passport, while at other border with Hungary they let freely roam across Europe thousands of illegal immigrants
