  1. How much of a problem is it if my officially supplied south afican passport has the top of my hair/head cropped off (face still clearly visible) in the photo. Are other countries gonna give me problems coz of this?

    Anyone have any experience with this?

  3. I got my first ever passport in the mail today. I applied ten days ago, and I didn’t even choose expedited service. For once these days I’m actually impressed with the government. #Passport

  5. 🚷 Passport #Inequality Is Social Injustice

    "Passports from some places allow their holders to travel abroad simply by booking a flight and packing a bag. Others, however, entail booking an appointment at the nearest consulate, presenting documents to prove identity and financial means, then waiting weeks for a decision."

  7. @elsua54 How do you measure the failure in #COVID (for them)?

    My thinking is they exercised their collective powers, showing us:

    1/ They can ignore professional advice & solutions

    2/ They can make us do silly things / change @normal life, scare us unnecessarily for perhaps what wasn't as big as they stated or for #old people mainly.

    3/ We were forced / made ilegal to go places without #COVID #passport, #food #grocery #places #travel etc

  8. @elsua54 On identity and #passport:

    Sure, it might work for you
    (you prob had a good start in life right?).

    Iincreasingly the demand is to use paperwork, ID, SIM card (say mid-level) to buy. #Passports sometimes to verify yourself.

    Even without some, the other people are using those middle-men so you have much less people to work / create with (what Mastodon needs to answer).

    People get "more options" provided by bad people in a bad #circular #economy that's #growing a #negative #alliance.

  9. @mf_analysis I always have a bit of an issue with these rankings because they are so simplistic, only looking at whether a visa is required to pass a border for a visit.

    They completely neglect other benefits such as ability to do work in said country, or live, or own property.

  12. Passport rankings are a lagging indicator of something travel companies should watch in real time: how easily — and where — a country's citizens can move. #travel #passport #ranking

  13. theguardian.com/politics/2026/. "A #British girl was prevented from returning to her #school in the #UK for 6 weeks after a trip to see her #grandmother in #Italy because of the Home Office’s new rule requiring dual British #nationals to have a British #passport to get back into the #country." Yet more narrow-minded, #racist, #xenophobic #HomeOffice stupidity, for which that #ReformUK entryist into the #LabourParty, Shabana #Mahmood, is PERSONALLY responsible!

  15. CW: Article: The secret API I used to tell LeShuttle about different outbound and return passengers

    Channel Tunnel operator LeShuttle's website wouldn't provide a working UI to specify that I'd have different passengers in my car for the outbound and return journeys. So, obviously, I reverse-engineered their API and pushed the information to their database directly.

  16. @elsua54 Passports. Yes - For many services increasingly that ID is needed or the top trump.

    I appreciate if it doesn't effect you and can leave this part of the topic alone for now. I'm glad how you have it.

    But for many a #passport does represent an identity or high lever of one, Biometrics now used for them and increasingly #banking etc linking the two even more.

    If you don't have one you can't travel far and do many things sometimes act like they need it (there are some other ways).

  18. "Scan your #passport to join our social network."

    (@elsua54 This quote helps to see when others are being socially 'weird' or excluded because we don't opt-in to many of these things and sub-things (or the standard etiquette of where you come from and work).

    ID as 1st representation for my types don't work as we are trying to convey the root msg / primary cause of unfairness. The uncaring #system.

  22. alojapan.com/1510164/japan-mai Japan maintains visa-free entry for Thai tourists through 2027 #Japan #JapanTrips #passport #Thailand #tourists #trips #Visa The Department of Consular Affairs confirmed on Wednesday (July 8, 2026) that Japan had extended its visa exemption, or visa-free measure, for holders of ordinary Thai passports for another year. The measure applies to Thai tourists travelling to Japan, allowing them to stay for up to 15 days per visit from July 1, 2026

  23. #Lisbon airport continues to be a shitshow I guess. We were in outbound passport control for an hour, which I guess is a lot less than it could have been. Airport staff were full-on yelling at people trying to cut through lines, stress levels were high.

    I'd avoid Lisbon airport until they sort this #ees mess out. 🤷

    As a Canadian I'm still baffled by outbound #passport control in #EU. Nothing about it seems efficient.

  28. Nearly a million #passports just exposed on the public internet—and anyone could access them with a simple URL

    A journalist typing a few letters and numbers into a web browser pulled up the #passport of a young woman from Germany. Then a Spanish man’s passport. Then another man’s driver’s license. All of it sitting on the public internet with no password, no encryption, no access control whatsoever.

  29. Trump is adding his obnoxious image to US passports. So it is absolutely the duty of every other country to make some sort of passport stamp that makes him look like a clown or more of an idiot or something. I'm sure Denmark is probably up to this task, but it'd be great if loads of countries did this. Someone spread this idea to those consulants that can make this happen.
