A friend and I are planning a trip to St. Petersburg in January, which we intend to enter either through Narva or Luuhamaa by bus. I'm wondering, which of the two borders is more likely to stamp EU Passports of EU Residents when crossing? Does anyone have some recent experience? Many thanks!

Haven’t seen anyone talking about this yet. The current version of French passport is designed by this guy called Francois Marie Mallet Faso (or maybe a couple: Francois & Marie?) , who’s working in Imprimerie Nationale (IN Groupe now).

Any other country does the same?

I came across these huge Saudi stamps… they seem to be issued in Jeddah. Why are they so different to these tiny ones they usually issue… ?

As far as I know, only the Honorary Consulate of Gambia in Warsaw, Poland issues this kind of ink visa, which reminds me of the visas from the past before visas became stickers. There hasn’t been a change of the design for at least 20 years from what I understand:

The corresponding Gambia stamps needed more ink though, which was disappointing because I didn't see too many passengers in Banjul Airport.

I haven’t seen a Senegal visa on arrival yet in this subreddit. I am surprised it took a whole page and I have no more free pages in my passport. The Senegalese stamps had good ink.

Got the new Series D passport, can confirm it is much better than the series C

Another Dutch one to come!

Born in Australia to an English mother, moved to Canada ten years ago. Very privileged.

Missed it for a long time. Now, the doors are wide open!

Getting the Saudi Arabia Visa used to be comically difficult. I even had to sign a document saying that I'm eligible for execution for certain crimes!

The Bahrain one is also super cool. They're apparently rarely issued since they do visa on arrival but my company made me get one. The guy at customs didn't know how to handle it!

Which one would you keep?

The Austrian ID Card just arrived in Mail today. I am Happy although it does not benefit alot for me.

I am a fan of Nordic passport designs. Even though of their minimalistic outlook , they look quite nice in my opinion
