For the second, generally make sure the documents you are using for entry are valid at time of entry; in particular a lot of countries require 6 months validity on passports.
- Aramgutang 8y agoComplicating things, some countries will not issue a new passport before confiscating the expired one. I know multiple people who reported their expiring passport as stolen, just to be able to keep it (usually for purposes of having proof that they've held certain visas in the past).
- xaranke 8y agoHmm, interesting. In my experience they just cut off a corner and put a large red EXPIRED stamp on the info page.
- Aramgutang 8y agoWell, your experience would be limited to the one or two countries you're a citizen of :) It's definitely a thing across various ex-Soviet countries, and likely others as well.
- Freak_NL 8y agoIt varies per country. In the Netherlands you can request to keep the old document; it will be returned to you with a couple of ~12mm holes punched through it. My girlfriend needed her old passport for travelling with an Interrail train ticket because the passport expired between the time of ordering the tickets (and submitting the document number) and travelling.
