I’m not saying they’ll throw you in jail because you didn’t bring a phone. But they’ll flag it. It’s weird. Especially on business.
And remember, countries don’t give a shit if you’re on business. Lots of people think that’s a free pass. It’s not.
These guys can deny access or even blacklist you. But fuck around and find out I guess.
If I went on leisure, then I’d be worried about all the money I’ve spent on the trip. But if it’s business, then I’ve got nothing to worry about. At most I’d only have business phone and business laptop, which doesn’t have any personal data anyways.
Depends also on your employer. My boss would not be too happy if he flew me across the world and I was denied access because of some dumb shit.
I’m not saying they’ll take you away to the Gulag, but just to be cautious when dealing with border security.
Point of interest, I used to ship lots of stuff across the border when our money was good. I had shit in my trunk, well organized, but still stuff. When I would drive over, I’d empty it. Or just keep a few things (my car was immaculate anyway). No issues, ever.
The odd time I was too lazy, more questions. Longer wait. Had one guy ask to pop the trunk.
Just saying, your life is way better if you show up with the intent to make all their lives easier.
