Notes[edit]

  1. ^ Due to its landlocked condition, Andorra does not issue a separate passport stamp. However one is available upon request at the border.
  2. ^ Antarctica is not officially part of any sovereign state. There are no border controls, and therefore no official entry/exit stamps. Some post offices, souvenir shops, and research stations provide unofficial passport stamps (which may invalidate passports).
  3. ^ Exit is recorded in a field on entry stamp
  4. ^ The Bahamas does not issue exit stamps.
  5. ^ Bahrain does not issue exit stamps. Furthermore, no entry stamps are issued at the border with Saudi Arabia.
  6. ^ If visa on arrival is granted and stamped in the passport, no separate entry stamp is issued.
  7. ^ Bermuda abolished visas as of 2014 but still requires a multiple-entry visa from Canada, UK, or USA for some nationalities.
  8. ^ Though stamps are issued upon both arrival and departure, there are only minor differences. The first 3 numbers after the date are assigned to the various points of entry and exit. The next number indicates entry or exit, '1' for entry, '2' for exit. The four digit number along the right edge is the Federal Police agent that made the stamp.
  9. ^ Canada does not issue exit stamps. On Canada's border with the United States, stamps are issued only if requested.
  10. ^ Colombia uses an identical stamp for both entry and exit. Entry or exit is recorded by a marking the field I (for entry) or E (for exit) with a pen.
  11. ^ Tourist card, which is not a visa, is always required for foreign citizens and nationals to obtain before entering Cuba, even when visa is required too.
  12. ^ El Salvador does not issue any stamps if coming from Honduras/Nicaragua/Guatemala due to C4-group regulations.
  13. ^ Fiji no longer issues exit stamps
  14. ^ As flights have ceased from Greenland to countries outside the Schengen Area (with which Greenland maintains an open border), Greenland no longer issues passport stamps. Some souvenir shops, such as the one at Kulusuk Airport, provide the same entry and exit stamps for free.
  15. ^ Guatemala uses many different stamps with various Mayan glyphs. But there is no difference in design between entry or exit stamps. Entry or exit is marked separately by border officials.
  16. ^ Honduras now places passports in a printer and prints the stamp rather than using a physical inked stamp.
  17. ^ As a special administrative region of the People's Republic of China, travelers entering Hong Kong will receive a different stamp than those entering mainland China. A Visa is issued to foreign passport holders only. An entry permit issued to mainland Chinese passport holders who apply in overseas or Macau but not in mainland China.
  18. ^ India uses various styles of entry and exit stamps. Entry stamps are blue, exit stamps are red.
  19. ^ Since 2016, foreign passports are not being stamped while entering or leaving Iran.[1]
  20. ^ Since 15 January 2013, Israel no longer stamps foreign passports at Ben Gurion Airport, giving passengers a card instead that reads: "Since January 2013 a pilot scheme has been introduced whereby visitors are given an entry card instead of an entry stamp on arrival. You should keep this card with your passport until you leave. This is evidence of your legal entry into Israel and may be required, particularly at any crossing points into the Occupied Palestinian Territories." Passports are still (as of 22 June 2017) stamped at Erez when travelling into and out of Gaza. Also, passports are still stamped (as of 22 June 2017) at the Jordan Valley/Sheikh Hussein and Yitzhak Rabin/Arava land borders with Jordan.
  21. ^ The visa stamps and top visa pictured are normally issued for business or official visitors only. Most tourists are issued a tourist card, pictured in blue, that is not contained within a passport and is surrendered upon departure.
  22. ^ No entry stamp but the sticker shown is applied to the passport on arrival. Exit stamp on request
  23. ^ Passports containing stamps from Kosovo will have them "annulled" upon entry to Serbia. The entry stamp shown was annulled.
  24. ^ Liechtenstein does not issue tourist visas, therefore tourists have to apply for a visa of a different member of the Schengen Area.
  25. ^ Liechtenstein follows the same entry rules as Switzerland and a passport stamp is not required. However for a nominal fee one is available at the Tourist Center.
  26. ^ A Visa is issued to foreign passport holders only. An entry permit issued to mainland Chinese passport holders who apply in overseas or Hong Kong but not in mainland China. In mainland China, Chinese citizens must obtain a Two-way Permit with the endorsement for entering Macau.
  27. ^ Citizens of all countries have visa-free entry to Micronesia, therefore the Federated States of Micronesia does not issue any tourist visa.
  28. ^ Because of its relationship with France and the policy of open borders, Monaco does not issue a separate passport stamp. However a free one is available upon request at the town hall. As of 2020, the Monaco tourist office no longer stamps official passports due to the possibility of invalidating them as official documents. Instead, they offer a souvenir passport, which they stamp instead.[2]
  29. ^ Montserrat government currently only issues e-visas.
  30. ^ This stamp is issued for Australian citizens (if requested), under the Trans-Tasman Travel Arrangement.

  32. ^ Nicaragua does not issue any exit stamps on exit to Honduras/El Salvador/Guatemala due to C4-group regulations.
  33. ^ All visitors to Niue are given a 30-day visa on arrival (marked by the entry stamp).
  34. ^ North Cyprus at the land border with the Republic of Cyprus are available upon request only at the Ledra Street Pedestrian crossing, stamps are regularly issued at the ferry terminals of Kyrenia and Famagusta and at Ercan airport.
  35. ^ Peru currently does not issue passports stamps upon entry or exit at airports, only at land borders. Stamps issued at seaports, as well as stamps issued at airports other than Jorge Chavez International Airport are unknown.
  36. ^ Due to its landlocked condition, San Marino visa policy follows the Italian one. San Marino does not issue regular passport stamps, and only issues souvenir stamps upon request at the visitors centre.
  37. ^ Serbian passports are stamped on exit only, while foreign passports are stamped on entry and exit (until 2018, foreign passports were stamped on entry only).

  41. ^ Transit stamp. No exit stamp is issued for transit visas.
  42. ^ South Ossetia does not stamp passports, this stamp was provided to the traveler after asking their Ministry of Immigration for the stamp.
  43. ^ Mainland Chinese residents who reside in Mainland China or overseas must apply an entry permit in advance. This kind of entry permit is different to the Taiwanese Visa (See Taiwan Entry Permit for Mainland China citizens in Gallery). Hong Kong permanent residents who hold a HKSAR passport and/or British National (Overseas) passport, and Macau permanent residents who hold a Macao Special Administrative Region passport may apply an entry permit online before entering Taiwan or apply one in major Taiwan's international airports for a fee while arriving. The National without household registration must apply an entry permit in order to enter Taiwan even when they have a Republic of China passport. Other aliens may apply a regular visa if they have to.
  44. ^ The United Kingdom has not been issuing exit stamps since 1998 when paper-based embarkation (‘exit’) controls for passengers were ended.[4]
  45. ^ The United States does not issue exit stamps.
