I wish I would have found you a month ago. Got married last October and we booked our honeymoon prior in my maiden name. I had my passport done after the wedding in my married name and I had to pay $200 at the airport for name change to match my passport. I was soooo bummed as that kind of ruined the initial excitement of our honeymoon, but it was better than being denied.
I have a flight tomorrow sadly my passport received a stain but not that serious all the pages are still in tact and no damage
Hey Aly, before you use that animation with the globe and flags of countries in your video, you should have made sure that the borders of countries, especially Ukraine, were shown correctly, according to internationally recognized borders.
What if 10 of my back oahes have an orange stain? Xxxx❤❤❤
I don’t have passport. If, I did have a past port. I’ll keep it, in my fireproof box. When not in used.
Who noticed art vandelay
Someday you will wave an embedded chip from your hand.
There should be a special book or a booklet that you can buy to put those souvenir stamps in so that they will have a place to put them.
Thank you for the info.
Watching this with my Syrian passport and laughing. My biggest mistake is being a holder of such a document 😂😂😂😭😭😭😭 new or old I’m not even boarding the plain 😂😭
My passport has a crease on the photo page will this be okay?
like uzupis in Vilnius,lithuania
I don't have a passport. I've never needed to get one, and I can travel abroad with just my ID provided it's within EU. However, I might consider getting my hands on a passport one day, if I decide it's time to kick off and visit some foreign country outside EU.
The US has an embargo against Cuba and many Americans bypass the problem by flying to Canada( which does not have an embargo on Cuba) and flying to Cuba from there. This could cause problems returning to the US. At one time if you ask at the border the Cuban Customs will not stamp your passport if you are American.
No, souvenir stamps do not invalidate passports. There is absolutely no such law or regulation in any country. You don't know the first thing you're talking about.
Great and cheerful presentation. I found my way here as I have a crease on my information page.
I had the name problem. Richard vs Rich
Art Vandalay 😂😂😂
A good video would have listed the 6 month countries so you know which ones have this requirement..
Never heard of souvenir stamps till this video.
I never heard of a souvenir stamp. A passport is an official legal document. I would never get anything stamped in it other than entering and leaving a country.
I must be traveling to all the wrong spots because my passport is bare. With electronic passports now everything is pretty much swiped. They run your passport and have an electronic identification of when and where you travel and soon you will have to prearrange travel to most countries anyway. Now my older passports are filled with stamps
It’s criminal how negligent people are with their passport. They will forget it everywhere on an aircraft , seat, table , airport bench .
My passport was mailed to me with the incorrect place of birth 😢 am i able to travel with this still or should i go thru the annoying process of getting it redone?
I want to explore 🇨🇦 with you!!
Tip number 3 is extremely important
What is souvuneer stamp?
Who in their right mind would allow an unofficial stamp be put in their passport? That is so naive! Would you put stickers on a loan application? Grow up, people!
My name has caused me issues several times. My work contracts tend to have it shown differently (omitting the second "first name", kind of a middle name), even my car documents have been issued to a wrong name once, and a state ID had a different name once. These things can cause a lot of issues.
They won't deny you board the plane, they may deny to to entey the country. Which is probably exaggerated but yes it's best not to put anything that's not offcial in there
The last point about having several blank pages at the back of the passport is a BIG DEAL. My daughter’s trip to Africa was almost ruined over this problem.
Sometimes a hotel will require a tourist to surrender their passport while they stay at the hotel. Is that legal? What should the tourist do?
Wow… Didnt realise that. I have one… Amongst many others mind you, from Ecuadors Del Mundo Equator centre….. Never been pulled up on it…, yet!
I’m thinking about my life choices and why I clicked on this video to create unnecessary anxiety 😂
Churchill, Manitoba gives stamps?
I'm looking forward to traveling back to Japan someday
As an airline ground handling it is not easy to handle the passenger to deny boarding 😢
Paris Hilton signed my passport in a club in vegas, right next to the photo page. When I returned to UK I got pulled up as apparently I had defaced government property! The immigration guy was miserable it was 6am, not a great welcome home! 😂 before egates!
A friend of mine left Canada to go to Jamaica with her passport being expired for 2 years. She was flagged in Jamaica on her way out but they let her board the plane. Can't make this stuff up.
Question, I will call Passport Canada when they open because I noticed that the Croatia-Montenegro crossing stamped my passport on the page where I signed! Isn't that weird.
Only a complete idiot would put tourist stickers in their passports,–oh just a minute, idiots abound.
Yea
Can employer mark bad?
As an airport employee, the thing we look at the most when we check and swipe your passport is the damages and that is is signed, especially for US and Canadian passports. If the month validity isn’t correct, the computer will tell us right away 😂 Otherwise, you were spot on!
I recommend to use a ziplock back to secure your passport at all times. Bring spares in your carry on bag.
