Immigration NIceness

[josephbloggs]

I've travelled internationally four times in the past 4-5 weeks since restrictions lifted, and each and every time the immigration staff have been genuinely nice and friendly.  Just left now for Singapore and I got a wai, a smile and a chat.  It's been noticeable on each trip how much friendlier they are.

I've never found them rude or anything, but just businesslike.  I wonder if this is a new policy, or if it is just a result of them not being so stressed out with long queues of people?  Anyone else noticed the same?

Anyway, it's nice.

I have the same impression, Since and during the covid period they (Immigration and others) are way friendlier. (it's the same for Phuket airport)
