Take a shortcut through a minefield, and you'll either get where you're headed sooner or end up wishing you'd never left home. Bribing an official is a lot like that. In many third-world countries an unofficial travel "tax" is de rigueur. Although every bribery situation is unique, there are a few universal rules you'll want to follow to successfully negotiate a mutual agreement.
Instructions
Difficulty: Moderate
Steps
1
Step One
Verify that bribery is customary. The X-rated magazine you proffered up to get you past a Mexican army checkpoint would get you imprisoned in a communist country.
Step Two
Determine who is in charge before offering a bribe. If you deal with anyone other than the superior, you may offend him and create a face-losing confrontation. Be extremely careful not to insult or upset anyone.
Step Three
Identify exactly what the problem is. If you're in violation of some law, ask to pay the fine on the spot. If you're carrying something they want, offer some of it. Your ultimate goal is to agree with the official on both the problem and a mutually beneficial solution.
Step Four
Offer a legitimate explanation for the bribery to put a veneer of legality to the situation. For example, say that you're afraid the fine will get lost in the mail and that you'd rather pay the proper authorities right now. The way in which you offer a bribe is sometimes more important than the bribe itself.
