🚫 Passport Mistakes: Part 2 (and 1 Passport HACK!)

Passport Mistakes: Part 2! (Plus a Passport HACK!)
Most countries require you to have at least 2 to 4 stamp-free pages in your passport in order to travel.
I know I have pages wasted on that one rogue stamp thrown in there all willy nilly.
Help keep your stamps where they belong by using a paper clip or rubber band to separate your stamp-free passport pages from your stamped pages.

[@dilach41]

not a good idea imo. It will look suspicious to most customs agents and they will remove everything to verify you are not hiding anything.

[@gotravelwithstaci]

Yes of course they will remove the clip but that’s when I politely ask they stamp the other pages before stamping the blank ones. It’s not for everyone but it’s worked nicely for me when I’ve used it. Safe travels!

No i have 2 stamps from a country each one in a page. The others are at the same page

Depends on each country an border agent,i have pages with 5-6 stumps nicely put and 2 pages in which they stamped in the middle of the page.​@khaledbaadarani

yeah really depends on the agent you get. Now I use a sticky note with a nice message to keep fully clear pages clear, if possible.

Yep I do this every where I go except the US! I got asked lots of questions about why I did it when I went through SFO. And then when I did it going through JFK the guy literally yelled and told me not to do this ever again in America if I wanted to get through 👀👀👀. Not sure why it is they have corks up their asses but they question you in the US more than any other country jeez

haha I haven't had any issues doing this but I'm waiting for that one grumpy person to make a big deal of it. That said, I do have Global Entry and rarely have to actually have interactions with US agents anymore. If they'd just stamp in order, that would clear up any future issues lol

[@theteammelk]

Same. Was that on purpose???

[@alexanderschmidt9157]

Customs/Immigration in a different country, especially, stamp where they want. It is not for the traveller to make the “decision” where stamps are to be affixed, surely one can ask but fixing a paper clip won’t serve as a binding guidance. Sounds kinda entitled that one should make this decision for them, it is their country and they make the rules; it’s not for jokes that they require a certain number x of pages for stamps upon entry, when they require at least 1 page that is empty surely they have the right to stamp right in the middle of it, one should go about this proactively by ordering a passport with more pages.

[@amz33894]

2 to 4 blank pages, 6 months before expiry. After C-vid it makes you wonder if they actually want anyone traveling at all...

[@jamess2483]

This is a bad idea for some countries. If you’re let’s say Austrian and you have a stamp from a sanctioned country, you’re banned from the American visa weaver program

[@gotravelwithstaci]

Hi James and welcome! Yes of course, and immigration will see this when they look through your passport. It’s up to the traveler to know what stamps they can and cannot have before attempting entrance to another country.

I started using a post it note that says "please don't stamp this page" . You can remove it easily and see behind it. Extended my last passport by two years. I would not use a rubber band. Ex iron curtain countries really like stamping the back of the book and that could frustrate them

I have a cover for my passport since I travel a lot and don't want it to look like garbage after one year. I tuck the clean pages in the sleeve. Doesn't matter. Some simply stamp from the beginning, some from behind. Latter more common in Middle Eastern region (in a wide sense of this word, not only muslim countries). So far nobody stamped randomly in the middle.

[@gotravelwithstaci]

Oh good! My last passport had stamps all over the place but this current one is much more in order. Happy travels!

[@ashrafsipra1]

That’s really useful ❤ But what if Immigration just opens your passport without seeing this pin?😢😅 And also if you have stamps which you don’t want to show or you don’t want to use that page you can easily do this thing 😊 That’s really a good way ❤

[@huzaifanagori1608]

Wow

[@Eddieteddy965]

That’s bad advice - it will interfere with scanning equipment, raise suspicions with the immigration officials and you’ll spend more time at the border control answering questions. You really don’t want that when travelling abroad on a tight schedule

[@Diefenthalka]

DONT DO THAT, not only it will be removed because the pasport first is scanned through scanner, but you will be questioned maybe detained, just ask nicely the customs agent, also when you give the pasport to the agent remove any cover, its also doesnt let them scan it, you can store the pasport with a cover but when you travel dont.

[@gotravelwithstaci]

In all my years, I've never had a problem. Likewise, you could use a sticky note instead.

[@Diefenthalka]

@gotravelwithstaci I happy that it went smoothly for you, I travel a lot and most of the customs officers goes throw all the pages, most of the stamp really considerably, only some countries like US,UK and turkey stamp on the middle (and I have a strong passport) the cover for passport I saw multiple times how officers asked to remove it and really get frustrated about the cover, so i personally use the cover to store the passport but in the airport without it.

I've never had my passport stamped. Where does this happen?

[@FatCat-tn1fj]

Have you travelled overseas? Europe is one place for example. When you enter a foreign country, many times they'll stamp passport to know when you entered their country.

[@gotravelwithstaci]

More places are doing e-visas so stamping isn't as frequent as it used to be. That said, if you travel internationally, not on a cruise ship, you should get a stamp showing your travel visa- permission to enter the country.

You said most passports, not American. I've never heard of this issue with anyone. I traveled all across Europe with multiple people from different nationalities and never heard anyone be rejected because of too many stamps.

[@gotravelwithstaci]

@@macky181 The rule is that most countries do have a minimum number of clear, unstamped visa pages free in your passport to enter their country and travel. The average number I see across the globe is 2, but some countries require as many as 6. Best practice is to have 2-4 free pages when traveling and to research the country beforehand to ensure you have enough for their requirements. A quick internet search will bring you to this information.
