As Canadian travellers, we have spent the last month learning from Moroccans what it is like to travel with a non-Canadian passport. It has been so eye-opening and what a reminder of the amazing privilege we have just by being born in North America. And then to watch this 😭. All those adventures and border crossings that Ammar had to miss or go through uncomfortable questioning…. MAN, we are so unbelievably happy for you to put that in the past. Can’t wait for you to go home and squeeze your loved ones 💛💛💛. So happy!! Thank you for sharing your story x

I'm a US citizen but I live in Germany. The immigration office has always been very kind to me; they've never questioned the legitimacy of my documents, they're very clear with what I need to bring, and all of the surprises have been positive. It really grinds my gears when fellow Americans complain about having to do the absolute bare minimum when my colleagues from, say, India had to jump through a whole bunch of hoops to even get here and then be forced to do it all over again.

I met these 4 guys from Yes Theory last week in Paris. I walked into a Lebanese Restaurant to order food for me and my friends and I saw them sitting around a table. I was litterally staring at them when I walked in cause I recognized them and I couldn’t believe it! I was confused, but at the same time I started smiling under my mask. 😂 I’ve then turned my sight to the counter and I saw the two restaurant’s chefs laughing because they knew that I’ve recognized them haha. After that I turn my head again and I see these four guys looking at me with a big smile! I didn’t wanna bother them while they were eating so I went outside to wait for my food to get ready. But then they walked outside too and I approched them asking to get a picture. We had a really nice conversation and they were so humble and generous, as you see them in videos. Love you guys! ❤️✌🏼 It was all so random but I am glad that I went to that restaurant :D

No one in the room, zero language help, no privacy, no dignity left for a human being. I fucking hate how "normalized" this is.

Fun fact: In the mid '00s an Irish citizen couldn't travel to Colombia without a couple of visits to the Colombian embassy in London to get a visa. That's long changed though. I travelled around Central America in '06 and it was quite an eye opener to see other people have much more hassle crossing borders. Belize for example, didn't allow Israelis without a visa - the thing is, one of the few direct ways to Guatemala from México is... though Belize. Israelis could take the bus, but could not get off at any point. Weird situation! I believe that's also changed now however. Anyway, I always appreciate my Irish passport! I've met a few dual citizen Brits, US Americans and Israelis who almost always just use their zero hassle Irish passport :)

So so happy for you, Ammar. As someone who travels with a Philippine passport, I could totally relate when you were talking about how condescending the whole process of going through passport control is. I always have to prepare so many documents and I’m almost always met with suspicion and invasive questions even when I’ve traveled more than 20x outside of my country and have never done anything to warrant that kind of treatment. It’s dehumanizing and depressing to be in that position, and I totally understand the tears of joy and relief that flowed through you when you finally got through passport control with no incident. Congratulations again, Ammar. Well deserved.

As an Egyptian with a Dutch dual citizenship I totally understand how Ammar feels. Though I was blessed to have been born with two. It always blew my mind that I had different rights and freedoms depending on which passport I used when I'm, in fact, the same person. It frustrated me that a piece of paper dictated the course of my life. It also frustrated me that it insinuated that I'm in some way better than my fellow Egyptians that don't have another citizenship. It's an incredible privilege to not have to think about visas or bank statements every single time when I want to travel. Or as a woman have to ask permission first through the government (although most arab countries don't do this anymore, back in the 90s my mother had to still ask permission to leave Egypt). Lastly, congratulations Ammar. Be free, as you should have been from the start. I hope you get to see your family soon and who knows, maybe I run into you aswell as I'm currently in Egypt. I wish you all the best❤

As a Sudanese citizen, i feel this pain. I have not traveled much due to the limitations of my passport (blacklisted and among the 4 worst passports in the world) but decided to visit Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam as a tourist. In all these countries I was redirected to some immigration office for processing. I was held up in Phnom Penh airport once for 3 hours despite having a valid E-visa. I was accused of all kinds of things, including being a terrorist and a prostitute. It was only after suffering a massive panic attack and multiple calls to the hostel I booked with (thank god) that someone from there went out of their way to come to help me out. My experiences and difficulties traveling in Asia traumatized me and disillusioned me so much from even attempting to travel to Europe or North America. Meeting backpackers on the road talking about their experiences to just be able to hop on a "night bus" and hop around the "banana pancake trail" was just gutting for me. I had so much envy. However, wherever I landed backpacking, the citizens of the country were always so warm, kind, and inviting which just baffles me.

We can like each individual, but them all in a large enough group, and then we collectively decide we don't.

Amazing video. Makes me feel incredibly guilty to have both an Australian and UK passport - and my UK passport has never seen the bottom of a stamp. There is also something rather absurd about the fact the only difference between Ammar facing interrogation at every immigration port, and being waved through, is $150,000USD. Shows how much of a farce the global migration/visa system really is.

No words. This is so great, yet saddening for many of us Egyptians. We all feel exactly what Ammar felt. Visa applications, intimdation at border controls, endless papers, and of course the idea of being drafted into the military if we ever decide to go back home. It's incredible how all of our struggles are conveyed through this video. The moment Ammar got through on his St Kitts and Nevis passport, I felt that deeply, as though it were me or thousands of others who ache to feel that sort of relief one day. Such a beautifully told story, congrats Ammar!

So happy for you Ammar. As a Philippine passport owner, there’s so much hassle and anxiety in applying for visas just to be able to visit countries, not to mention the money and time spent in applying for these visas. I wish someday everyone can be given more freedom to be able to see and experience the world.

This is the moment when I can absolutely appreciate having a German passport and being able to travel to so many countries visa free and just needing an ID for EU countries. Seeing this makes me realize how good westerners like me actually have it. I'm so happy to see Ammar having his new passport and finally being able to travel to so many places without any hassle.
