- peteretep 13y agoA departure card like the type you're mentioning is pretty common, but isn't instead of a passport stamp.
- dewey 13y agoIt's instead of the passport stamp in Israel [0]. Otherwise you'd have problems getting into Jordan for example. (Other countries according to wikipedia: Iran, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen).

- vacri 13y agoI had the piece-of-paper as a tourist in the US in 2009. They removed it on my exit from the country - so my US trip shows up in my passport as a series of staple-holes.
