Deportation is never in the flight plan. But with a last-minute crew change, that's exactly the scenario our client faced. Their new flight attendant didn't have a crew visa, and they'd exhausted every usual and obvious avenue to expedite the long documentation process.

Their staff worked closely with local authorities, and the authorities provided something usually unheard of: special clearance for the crew member to enter the country without a visa, in compliance with Chinese government requirements. Our client's customer made his business meeting in Beijing on time, and without any further hitches.
