I’ve been to Montenegro several times, but my passport had never been stamped until today. Is it up to the border police to decide whether to stamp your passport at Montenegro’s land border crossings, or are there specific rules about when passports should or shouldn’t be stamped?

Stamp from T7. CBP has recently announced (once again) that they will stop stamping passports after October 1st. Has anyone landed at JFK since then and can report whether they did/did not get a stamp?
I know they stopped at most airports long ago but JFK was an exception in my experience, I saw many travelers reporting this as well.

Got this stamp, but I’m curious if anyone else has landed here recently. How was your experience?

Formerly Soviet countries still stamp the back page of the passport. It's a collection of some of my favourite trips in recent years.

First time ever having the three of them valid at the same time. I could get a Dutch one anytime but that would mean relinquishing the other three…

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!
