Who is responsible for ensuring valid documentation on immigration?

score:46

The person traveling is always responsible for having the right paperwork, the airline is not, nor are the immigration officers.

The passport officers at the destination country will check and will usually insist on visa or other proof of being permitted in, like the OCI card, although in most cases the airline will stop a passenger getting on the flight.

Airlines are often charged a fine for allowing people to approach immigration who do not qualify for entry and have to transport those people back or otherwise away, which they will try to get paid for by the passenger.

As pointed out in the comments, in some countries you need to hold an exit visa and it will be the airline and/or the border guards who check you have it, but it is still the responsibility of the person traveling.
