  1. Looking for a Turkish someone who applied for a US visa and is residing in the Netherlands. Is it even possible to apply from an embassy here? I can’t afford to go back to Turkey and wait 6 months for my passport… help….

  2. If implemented, the proposal would require all #parents to provide proof of their own #citizenship, such as a valid #US passport or birth certificate, or evidence of their #immigration status, such as an I-94 form or a legal permanent residency card, when submitting a #passport application for their #children. The information would be used by the government to determine if the ​child qualifies for citizenship under #Trump’s ​new [unconstitutional] order, the #State Dept proposal ⁠says.

  3. 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?

  4. 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."

  6. @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

  7. @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.

  8. @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.

  9. 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!

  10. 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.

  11. @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).

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

    - #AralBalkan #Quote

    (@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.

  13. Niloofar* emptied her #emergency backpack onto the floor: a #passport, prescribed #medications, a toothbrush, a change of #clothes, and documents proving #ownership of her home.

  14. #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.

  15. Brit and in Europe this summer? Leave an extra hour for #passport control. This was #Ljubljana today, a full 50 minute scrum.

  16. Stop scanning us! #FacialRecognition

    Home Secretary Mahmood, revealed her chilling vision of building a “panopticon” where “the eyes of the state can be on you at all times”

    Your #passport photo now being searched by police, even if you have done nothing wrong

  18. On Hold

    I am trying to renew my passport before I have to fly to Florida this summer. I’ve been on hold with their help line for 10 minutes. I have a meeting 70 minutes from now. Do you think I will still be on hold when the meeting starts?

    Something tells me I will be. Government efficiency and all that crap, right?

    I was just about to publish this when my call was forwarded to a voicemail and hung up. Oh good. I guess I can start that on-hold clock again.

    Yippee.

  19. #Channel12 points out that #CBSdata counts #Israelis who left the country, did not return over the subsequent 10 months, and established their lives abroad, thus indicating trends rather than immediate causes. It also notes that the decision to #emigrate is complex and not necessarily tied to a single event, as such decisions typically involve several months of planning.

    Overall, while the initial aftermath of 7 October saw a sharp rise in #PermanentDepartures from Israel, the rate has since stabilised.

    Critics of #Israel argue that #Jews #radicalised by #Zionism often move to Israel as a fulfilment of #BiblicalProphecy but tend to leave during times of conflict, especially those holding a second #passport.

    Israel is increasingly concerned about the trend of reverse #JewishMigration from #OccupiedPalestine, particularly at a time when the #demography of the state is a fundamental issue for the #Israeligovernment and #Zionist strategists. The movement of Jews away from Israel threatens the demographic balance Zionist leaders seek to maintain.
