  • Passports are the most important tool for traveling internationally, and going through customs without a passport is often next to impossible. So what are some things we can learn about these magic blue/red/green/black booklets?

      I just looked a bit into it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems the Malaysian government has banned all travel (except Christian pilgrimages) to Israel, and also North Korea for safety reasons. However, in practice this hasn't necessarily stopped Israel from just granting Malaysians visas on a separate piece of paper. Travel bans are weird sometimes.

      But it's not the card in itself that is necessarily used to identify you, an ID is linked to a database and any dubious ID cards are flagged. If the photo on the card doesn't match with your profile, you probably have a problem. Only countries who have access to your national database (like all Schengen countries) will accept an ID card as proof. It's why for instance Turkey might require a visa, but not a passport, an ID is enough. Morocco is the opposite, strangely enough. Of course, you can still use a passport, too.

    In mainland China theres 2 kinds of "passport", one for international travel and another one for visiting Hong Kong/Macau (idk if it includes Taiwan, but I think it either does, or theres a 3rd passport for visiting Taiwan).
    For Hong Kong and Macau citizens to go to mainland China, they need a special card called "回鄉證" which literally translates to "the ID that allows you to go back to your home". If HK/MO citizens need to go to Taiwan, they need to apply online and get some special document from Taiwan before they can go there.
    After I came to Europe, however, I just realized its so convenient to travel within the EU, like, theres no passport checks after the flight when i fly from Switzerland to France, and France to Italy.

It has stickers in it that look like visas, but are technically permits for exiting mainland China. I've heard they've been replaced by cards though.

    It is not just border agents who can make alterations to your passport. The U.S. Citizen Services Unit at U.S. Embassies and Consulates are also authorized to alter passports.
    There is another interesting fact about the U.S. passport, that you sort of touched on when you read the information on the front page. That is there is a difference between a 'U.S. citizen' and a 'U.S. national'. All citizens are also nationals, but there is a very small and select group of people who are considered 'U.S. nationals', but not 'U.S. citizens'. These are people who come from American Samoa. They are entitled to a U.S. passport, but their passports are actually stamped with a notation stating the difference. From a practical standpoint, the biggest difference is that 'nationals' do not have the right to vote in U.S. elections, nor can they hold government jobs which require citizenship. But 'nationals' have the unlimited right to permanently live and work anywhere within the United States or its territories and other possessions, can serve in the U.S. military, and have the right to U.S. consular services and protections abroad.

    Something to know:
    We were in Vietnam on a trip flying to Thailand, Phuket. It was 8th of January and my brothers visa lasted until 23rd of June. If you don't know most countries require that the passport is valid for 6+ months upon enrty(even if entering for only a couple of days), which his was. Turns out it wasn't because they only look only to the first of the last month, which means his is valid to 1st of June which is not 6 months, which means he got denied entry into Thailand a lot of other country, he could basically only stay in Vietnam or go to an Airport and back home.

    Also, the Chinese passport seems to get more and more useful when more countries are offering visa-free or visa on arrival (with some even for free). But the issue is that, usually if it's free, it's because public safety concern (or even Anti-Chinese events) drove away tourists and thus they need to give some special offer. So basically visa-free is just marketing strategy.

    One important thing you missed, US citizens are allowed to be issued two valid passports, one with 10 years expiration, and one with 2 years expiration.
    You are allowed to have two passports for certain reasons, one of them if you are abroad, and you need to get a Visa to a third country and you don't want to be without a passport while your Visa is being processed, so the US consulate will issue you a valid 2 years passport so you can apply for the Visa with that passport. (I have done this)
    I think the US is the only country that allows its citizens to do that, please let let me know if you know any other country that allows this.

      I like to think of myself as European-American first, and Norwegian-Minnesotan second. In America you say "I live in Europe", and in Europe you say "I live in America". Non-Americans and non-Europeans don't usually particularly care about which individual state you're from; state identities are really only useful for distinguishing between fellow Americans and fellow Europeans. When you come from both or neither, it's a lot easier to see how the different states of America and Europe are a lot more uniform than locals like to say.
      But that's just my own view shaped from my own experiences and my own worldview, and I definitely get why most people still associate with their state first, and I can respect that. There are plus sides to putting local identity first, just like there are plus sides to putting continental and global identity first.

    When I went to USA, the guy who was checking the passports forgot to stamp my cousin's one. We just realized it when we were home. Kkkkkk

    Biometric passport is troublesome for Thai passport (actually only my passport). I never pass border control with machine (which I have to scan my passport and fingerprints).

    As far as I know the burgundy passport was replaced by a green one, both read "official" on the front.

      Not every day you see a passport of the GDR, and it is even rarer that you see an American citizen hold one!

    I’ve only gotten one stamp ever because I’ve only visited one country outside of Schengen lol. Low key wish I’d get stamps, because they’re really cool.
