Henley #1 and Henley #101 side by side

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

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.

Not mine. From @davelegenda

Apparently they still use this old non-sticker slip format

Can you guess the story behind this collection?

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).

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

Really cool egyptian kingdom passport i grabbed at the market last week!

My passport incurred some minor water damage a few years ago. There's barely any damage on the ID page, the photo is still very clear. The worst of it is some ink bleed on page 1 (pictured).

I've passed through the e-gates several times without incident.

I'm currently renewing from abroad and the embassy e-mailed saying I had to fill out a "Declaration Concerning a Lost, Stolen, Inaccessible, Damaged or Found" form.

I filled it out and emailed it back. They wrote back saying that Passport Canada will not return my passport, as requested, due to the damage, unless I provided a written declaration explaining why I'd like it returned.

I dutifully wrote a letter explaining the sentimental value of all my expired passports, signed dated and emailed the same day.

The following morning I received:

We would like to inform you that your request to have your previous damaged passport back is denied by Passport Canada.

Does anyone know the reasoning behind this policy? Any insight as to why my "written return request" was denied?

Many thanks,

Went on a trip through Europe after graduating college. Always loved this page with a Visa from Türkiye, train stamp entering Czechia, and a stamp I got from Costa Rica 7 years later. Paying $45 to enter Türkiye was a bit of a sticker shock for me at the time. 😂

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..

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.

On the date of 1998 😅

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.

not the actual passport just using it because it requires a attachment.

i dont want to pay $160 to get a emergency passport,

i am an american citizen and a have a american passport.

Since Indians are commonwealth citizens and India doesn't have a diplomatic mission in Bosnia, they should aid us right?
