Before answering your question lets know what is Immigration? Immigration is the place at an airport or country's border where government officials check the documents of people entering that country. Its the place where record of entry and exit is maintained.
Before entering in a country check what all documents are required, like valid return tickets, Visa (evisa, Visa on arrival, Sticker Visa), Hotels or accommodations bookings, Itinerary, adequate amount of money and so on. All these can be fount on a particular countries' official Immigration website. Once you have all the documents ready you are half way done. Now its time to face the Immigration Officer.
Immigration Officer may ask very basic questions and He/She will read the way you respond them. If He/She finds any anomaly in your answer it will trigger their alarm. So my tip is "Always wear a smile on your face" don't fear because you are not doing wrong, you are a tourist and by visiting a particular country you are strengthening their tourism economy. So be firm in your answers, memorise your travel dates and itinerary, keep all the documents handy and keep your passport with full safety.
