    YAY!

    I love and hate my passport. The picture makes me look like Bin Laden, but I like all the stamps I've collected :)

    It's all about the stamps! And it you can get a Visa, that is an extra special bonus to the well-traveled passport!

    Aye. It's not fair... because the UK is part of the UK, we don't get stamps for visiting European countries. :(

    The UK is part of the UK!?! :D

    I know what you mean though in the EU you never get the stamps which sucks. My last passport the only stamp I had was for Malta even though I'd been all over Europe.

    I love getting stamps and as baileyparker55 said the visas are even better. Mine is filling up fast, off to Malaysia on the 25th so that'll be another one.

    A visa is filling up a complete page, whilst they can put at least 4 stamps or even 6 on one if they bother. And visa are more expensive.
    My new passport is valid for 5 years, but with all those visa and stamps I probably need a new one in 2. It is all a money scam and all governments are in on it as they all seem to want to get a part of the monetary pie.

    Love, bird.

    Where in Vietnam will you be going?
    I am in Cambodia myself at the moment, so we will be practically neighbours in a couple of days!

    If you ask them to stamp your passport in EU countries they will, but it's a case of remembering and whether the official can be arsed.

    It's only valid for 5 years? Mine is for 10 years.

    I heard on CNN that they will be bumping up the requirements to get a passport soon. What are the new requirements going to be? Do I just have to apply b4 the change, or do I have to recieve my passport b4 then?
