The passport control officers thought her to be 20 years younger than her actual age and suspected that she was using an older woman’s passport.

A 41-year-old Ukrainian woman was stopped at passport control. Not because she didn’t have all the required documents or her baggage wasn’t checked. The officials could not believe she was 41 as she claimed to be.
