I am a Vietnamese Refugee and do not carry a Vietnamese passport. I do however carry a Vietnamese Certificate of Visa Exemption (permission to enter Vietnam) and a green card (to re-enter USA).  I have a three hour layover in Narita and would like to know if allowed to transit without a passport.   If you know, please let me know where you found out. I've been searching high and low and calling everyone I could think of and no one has a certain answer.

I will be transferring between two international flights at Tokyo Narita airport. I'm scheduled to depart the same day I arrive. I am planning to stay within the airport during the layover. Does anyone know if I will require a transit visa at Narita?

Do I need a transit visa for a layover via airports in the UAE, such as Dubai International Airport or Abu Dhabi International Airport? If so, what are the requirements for such a visa? Can I get the transit visa on arrival?

As a US citizen, when I re-enter the US, I am often asked where I was, how long I was there, and the reason for my visit.  Why am I asked these things?  Am I required to answer? Don't I have a legal right to enter the US (as long as I'm not doing or carrying anything illegal)?  If I were to refuse to answer these questions, would I be permitted entry?  Note: I'm not really bothered by the questions (except when the agent asking them is especially rude), I'm just curious.

We will arrive in Haneda airport at 7:10am and connecting flight to US from Narita is 11:15am.    Is there enough time to catch my next flight?    I've confirmed with UA that we don't need to pick up our luggage during the connecting flight but we have to go through Immigration, that usually may take an hour.    What's the best way not to miss our next flight?    Is there a fast lane for Immigration and direct transportation from one airport to the other?    What if I miss the flight, will UA give us the next availability flight without penalty?

I am a dual Dutch-American citizen that is planning to visit Iran in the upcoming week. I have both a Dutch and an American passport.  According to the , "British, Canadian and American citizens are required to be escorted by a government approved guide at all times. Independent travel for these citizens has been banned due to the closure of Iranian foreign missions in these countries."  However, I asked an Iranian friend who said that I should have no problem as long as I enter on my Dutch passport, and this seems consistent with what I have read .   As Iran has a visa-on-arrival program for Dutch citizens, I assume that I can just show up at the airport in Tehran, show my Dutch passport, get a visa, and walk out of the airport and into Tehran.  Is this correct?  [edit 11/08/16] I've contacted the embassies of both countries and posted my answer below. My flight is tomorrow morning and I land in Tehran around 1am Thursday. I'll let everyone know what happens.

I'm transiting through China in Kunming, China.  I'm a South African national and do NOT fall under the 72-hour visa free program. However on [their official (travelchina) website][1] it says:     Nationals of most countries are eligible for the 24-hour direct   transit, while a visa is needed for the passengers transiting on   Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Iran, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia,   Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Turkey,   United Arab Emirates and Yemen passports.   I'm sorry if I'm missing this, but the above is rather badly worded for me does "nationals of most countries" include ALL countries except those mentioned in the list shown?  Also again sorry if I'm missing this but again it is rather badly worded for me. I will fly via Thailand to China and then via China to Canada with an 8-hour layover in China. I see Thailand is mentioned on the list. I have a Thailand residency permit where I currently reside... Would that affect me at all?  Also, any idea if I can exit the airport in China and come back under the 24-hour visa exemption (should I be exempt)?  Many thanks.

I'm hoping someone may able to answer my question...  I am a dual citizen of US and Canada. I was born in the states but grew up in Canada and like alot of other dual citizens, I hold both Canadian and US passports. I have never lived in the states so I dont have the social security number and other documentations beside my birth certificate and my passport. (The officials in US consulate in Toronto never says its a problem without another US documentations when they know I never live in US)  My US passport has expired in April and I have since tried to make an appointment with the US consulate in Toronto, but the earliest appointment available at the time of booking was June 4th. Here's the problem ... I'm flying to Vegas on Monday and I am now worried if I will be denied entry into the USA with an expired US passport... I know I have to present my US passport at point of entry and cannot use my Canadian passport (which I have used for my last month trip to Asia).  Will the custom deny my entry ? I'm planning to print out my appointment page and present to the officer as well and was planning to go renew my passport in Nevada if i have to... just wonder if someone has similar experience

I am travelling to Budapest and therefore have a Schengen Visa. I hold an Indian passport and a valid US visa. I'm travelling from Chicago-Heathrow-Budapest and returning by Budapest-Dublin-Chicago.  Would I need a transit visa for UK/Ireland?  UPDATE  Hoping this will help someone someday.   I was not allowed to board my return flight (BUD-DUB-ORD) because I do not hold an overnight Irish Transit Visa. They said I could have transited happily if the connecting flight was in the same day, but because I would have to originally land at 10 PM and catch the connecting flight next morning at 10 AM, I needed a transit visa. Well, I thought it was BS, but couldn't help comply with the rules. I booked another last minute ticket and flew via Warsaw via LOT.

I am an Indian citizen with a German residency permit. I am travelling from Germany to Dubai by Pegasus Airlines and then from Dubai to Madurai by SpiceJet separately, in both directions. I need to transfer myself in Dubai. I have found that transit is possible in Dubai airport via transit desk without UAE transit visa.  But, I have read on SpiceJet's website that Indian citizens travelling from India to Dubai need "Ok to Go" stamp in their passports. It is not clearly explained for transit people like me with Schengen visa.  Q1: Will SpiceJet in Madurai check "Ok to Go" and reject me (Indian citizen with Schengen residence permit) in Madurai airport during my return journey?  If yes; Q2: Is there is any other possibility to solve the above problem?  If "Ok to Go" is ultimately needed for SpiceJet in Madurai; Q3: How can I get it from Germany and how much does it cost?

I am a foreigner and my student visa expired last month. I do have an American driver's license valid until the end of next year. Can I still fly inside the US without being afraid they will check my papers and try to get me out of the country? I haven't used any of my European IDs or passport in 2 years since I got the US ID, so I haven't been showing them off. I've been feeling pretty secure with my license. What do you think?

I am going to be driving into Tijuana to board a flight that will take me to Acapulco. My flight is from Tijuana to Acapulco. Both locations are in Mexico. Will I need to have a passport in order to attend the flight, even though the flight is from one place in Mexico to another? I heard that in this situation, a passport is not required, but a passport may be required upon reentering the US. Would other documents be sufficient for boarding this flight? I will be returning from Acapulco to Tijuana, and from there I will be driving back across the border to the U.S.

I am a Pakistani national and need to transit through Dubai International Airport (DXB).  I am not planning to leave the airport and both of my flights (arrival and departure) are from Terminal 3.  I am pretty sure that I do not need transit visa at the DXB, however it is no where mentioned on any of their official website.   Can anyone please provide me such a link stating that transiting without leaving the airport does not require visa at DXB, as I need to use this link as a proof for a visa application?  Thanks

I'm arriving from New Delhi, India (Indian passport) with JAL at Narita on 11th July at 07:30 and departing for San Francisco with JAL at 00:05 on 12th July from Haneda. Do I need a transit visa as I'll be switching airports and spending a few hours at JAL City Haneda Airport Hotel?  Previously I had connecting flights from Narita to San Francisco and obtained shore passes to relax at Narita Nikko Hotel. Now I'm travelling with my elderly Mom and do not want complications at Narita immigration or later in the day while going from Narita Airport to Haneda airport. Please advise.

I’m on a trip in Japan. I've seen many touristic places that offer stamps, many temples have it as a free souvenir. This is not the first time I’ve seen this type of souvenir, I also saw the same stamps at The Tall Ships Races 2012 Lisboa. It was a big concentration of tall sails ships. There every ship had a stamp for a fake Passport, mostly for kids.  I would like to know if I stamp my passport with one of this stamps I will have problems of any kind with border security?  samples of stamps:
