Hi! I would like to know if it’s required for Immigration Officer to require AOS for own expense travel? I was offloaded last Dec 2021 due to lack of AOS. I did not pursue the travel (bound to Dubai) since I do not have a relative within 1st and 2nd degree. I only have my uncle there so it was impossible for me to get an AOS. Now I’m planning to go to a different country, will be at my expense. My question is, is it required for me to provide the AOS even I am sponsoring my own travel? Will I be offloaded again if I am not able to provide the AOS?
