Immigration Officer (Airport)
Your shift at the immigration hall of Mumbai's CSIA involves processing 400 international passengers per hour — verifying passport validity, checking visa categories, conducting biometric authentication, and flagging a look-out circular match for a suspect wanted in a financial fraud case. Between passenger flows you attend a briefing on new visa-on-arrival categories and review FRRO circular updates on long-stay visa reporting requirements.
