Hey All, I'm going on a freaking Nonrev Extravaganza this week. Problem is I'm running low on stamp space in the passport. I was lucky last week when CDG stamped previously stamped spaces. But I'm wondering if a country would/could refuse to stamp me if I'm out of room.... and what would happen at that point? Thanks for the help. Love ya nonrev community.
Tchau
DA-
If you're totally out of room, then you need a new passport, and could possibly be refused entry. Having only a few spaces shouldn't be an issue, but some places it is. I know South Africa requires a full untouched page or you will be refused. The Ireland stamp I have takes up a whole page. Not sure how many other places are like that
I don't know what can be done on short notice, but I do know that you can order new pages for an existing passport once it hits a certain point, too. Also, if you're traveling within the Schengen region (most of western continental Europe) you only get one stamp on your original entry, and just a quick look by the gate agent upon boarding a flight within.
You need to get additional pages. I couldn't get a Chinese visa a couple years ago for this reason.
You can get new pages from the passport agency.Let us know how it goes because I may need to do that soon.I am down to 12 empty squares with nearly 4 more years to go on my passport.
My wife just received her new passport and it looks like fewer pages, doesn't make sense! And, I think extra pages are $75.00.
And yes, South Africa does indeed require a few clean/blank pages. Found this out the hard way a few years ago, couldn't leave ATL.
I had new pages added fairly quickly to my last passport. Note too that when you renew your passport you can go ahead and request the additional pages then, too, at no additional cost.
Not sure where I got that "bad info" on extra pages??? I just double checked www.travel.state.gov
I've had extra pages added and from mailing to having the thicker passport back in my hands it was 10 days. Much quicker than renewing!
Curious to know how it went for you!
I had extra pages added no long ago and I seem to remember it being at no cost (besides shipping).
