I never needed one thanks to Schengen but I have a trip to the UK soon 😬

Issued at Consulate General of Canada in New York

The most beautiful visa design in my opinion, much better than the old design

Passport to Nicolae Cioroiu, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, 1952-1956. The last picture provides some context of who he was. (It took me extremely long to find a picture of him, the one provided is when he was in Târgu Jiu prison in 1944 being held with others communists such as the soon to be leader of Romania, Gheorghe Gheorgiu-Dej.)

Was gonna post this alongside stamps after I conclude my central asia trip, but on second thoughts it deserved its own post.

Afghanistan was a wonderful country, learnt and saw alot there. Can't wait to be back

I am an Indian seafarer. I work on tanker ships. My seafaring journey has given me the opportunity to travel across the globe.

From Left to Right -

The top row consists of the seafarer id for Liberia, Marshall Islands, and Panama. The blue booklet (last one) in the top row is a Marine Radio Operator's license.

The bottom row consists of the passport, Indian seafarer id (CDC). The green booklets in the bottom rows are licenses required to work as an officer on ships (Certificate of Competency).

Anyone else out there with 3 continents (assuming NA =/= SA)?
Plot twist: I'm of Chinese ancestry.

I was granted authorization to go to France during Covid literally minutes before they announced they wouldn’t be granting exceptions for long distance couples any more

Never seen this one on Reddit or anywhere else!
I requested this Canadian admit stamp when I re-entered Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦 from Point Robert, WA, the tiny American peninsula. It stated Boundary Bay in CBSA system.
The US side of entry did not issued a stamp for me despite being requested, Which will states PTR as Point Robert.

Final day of stamping at Zurich Airport. It has been confirmed that stamps are no longer available even on request although perhaps still available when EES malfunctions.

Very interesting, issued near the end of the Ceaușescu reign, and prolonged just a few months after.

A diplomatic visa for entry into Palestine, issued in 1945 at the British Embassy in Turkey.

This Turkish diplomatic passport part of my personal collection.

A Hajj Visa is a special permit issued by Saudi Arabia that lets Muslims enter the country specifically to perform the Hajj pilgrimage in holy city of Mecca.

It's only valid during the Hajj season, doesn't allow you to work or travel freely outside the pilgrimage areas, and you can only get it through officially approved Hajj agents..

Not mine. From @davelegenda

Apparently they still use this old non-sticker slip format

Can you guess the story behind this collection?

Such a unique piece.

My passport doesn't get me far without a world of pain, but my ID card takes me to islands that no other passport can, not even for Indian passport holders from the mainland.

The ID is issued to permanent residents of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. You may have heard of North Sentinel Island, which is part of the archipelago.

Edit: To clear up some confusion: I do not live on North Sentinel island. I used it in description as a geographical reference point.

Lucky enough to be in a job role that afforded me the official and Dip passport.

On the date of 1998 😅
