A rich person on "vacation" surely doesn't have to deal with that crap and nobody checks too closely if the right contacts are used.

maybe not a billionaire or something, but there's no way the shooter is passing for that. at best they get the customs agent sent out to the private plane to handle passport control there before being allowed to debark. countries still do passport control for private planes.

My hunch is that you're wrong. If somebody flies a $20 million swanky private jet into the right airport (or airfield) and they don't want to deal with "hassles" they don't have to.

I googled.

How Private Jets Allow Fliers Around the World to Skirt Immigration

A British whistleblower revealed what the industry already knew: Fly private and anything goes.

[...]

79 percent of private flights, like those to LCY in 2023, faced no passport scrutiny whatsoever, according to the supposedly defective records Neal flagged.

This is not a hill I'm willing to die on. A single article that agrees with me is proof of nothing. But I really believe if somebody is rich enough (or even seems so) they get to avoid all sorts of regulations, rules, and even laws.

I don't think the Claims Adjuster would be working with such people
