If his parents fled there, he would have to be fairly advanced in age (I think) to have arrived before the Garlean occupation of Othard, and then you have a bit more freedom (false name, Miqo'te first name with Doman last, etc).Yeah, that makes sense. Thanks! I'll have to look more into the lore following the Garlean's take over - I'm not very familiar with the time line. Definitely something to keep in mind.
Othard has been under Garlean rule for at least 25 years. Territories which willingly surrendered to Garlean occupation were allowed to remain relatively untouched and maintained much of their lifestyle and customs as prior to Imperial rule. Nations which resisted domination or rebelled were razed. (See: Doma Discussion ) Rulers and liege lords were allowed to keep their rule and land but answered to Garlean ambassadors and consuls within the city. Also, worship of idols, eikons, or "false gods" was outlawed in all Imperial territories.
Several references state that Eorzea continued to (and still continues to this day) trade with Imperial territories and with Garlemald itself until the Calamity. Lolorito Nanarito's famed East Aldenard Trading Company became rich off of trade with lands to the east as well as Garlemald. Arcanist Assessors from Mealvaan's Gate even boarded Garlean trade vessels from time to time to ensure the quality of goods coming into Eorzea.

Until then, I must review assessor logs pertaining to goods recently confiscated from imperial soil. We would not have any of their unauthorized technologies falling into the hands of unscrupulous individuals... and this city has more than its share of those.
So travel to and from the Far East does not appear to be closely regulated on the Othard side of things. Getting through Mealvaan's Gate into Eorzea nowadays might be a little more difficult after Limsa Lominsa established blockades around Eorzean ports.
