I recently traveled from India to USA. I am on H1B. I entered USA on 29th December 2016. As my Visa extension is due in August 2017, I was gathering documents for Visa Extension. It was required to provide a scanned copy of passport page with all entry and exit stamps.  Myself and my wife both travelled back from India. My wife's passport has a entry stamp with date as 29th December 2016. But the same is missing from my passport. I guess the officer missed putting the entry stamp on my passport. My I 94 reflects the correct date of entry as 29th December. Somehow I still have my boarding pass from this trip (usually I throw them once trip is complete).   Want to know what could be implications of missing entry stamp when I travel to India next time (somewhere towards early next year)? Does this impact my H1B Visa extension ? Also what can I do to correct this information on my passport?

I have read that Timatic is widely used by many Airlines to check what document requirements passengers have to fulfil to board international flights.  The  on Timatic web is broken but I remember having seen it working before but I was not able to understand any of the information it provided.  Can a passenger him/herself go through a Timatic request somewhere on web (for free) to see those requirements beforehand?

For international trips I have a passport, for EU journeys I use my national identity card. Simply because its format is more convenient, since it fits in my wallet.  On my next trip to the UK my national identity card will only be valid for only one week when I return.  I am aware of validity issues on passports (e.g. your passport needs to be at least valid for more then 6 months when traveling to the US), what are the regulations regarding national identity cards in the EU? Can I use it to travel within the EU until the last day of its validity?

Almost all passports I have seen have a place of birth field on them. For instance, on the US Passport,    Is there a specific reason to this?

On multiple occasions I have seen forms where it needs to be stated what the Country of Issue and what the Country of Citizenship is. What is the difference between the two, if your passport is issued by a consulate in a foreign country. Technically the soil of a consulate belongs to its own country. So both the country of issue and citizenship should be the same. At least that is what I would say. But if this is the case, why do some forms require to fill in both?

I actually saw this on a list of top new traveller questions, and figured it'd be a good one to have on here.  Obviously with international travel, you'll need your passport, but are there any other important documents you should consider taking with you when travelling?

Suppose an EU citizen is resident of another member state and gets issued a national identity card identical to the ones citizens get there. (If that is not concrete enough to answer the question, assume a Finnish citizen who is a temporary resident in Estonia.)    This is an Estonian ID card issued to a Finnish citizen. The ones for Estonian citizens look exactly the same, just with a different entry at "citizenship" and without a small remark on the back side specifying the type of residence. I know that this is the old model that isn't valid anymore but I couldn't find an example of the new card.  If one carries no other identity document into a country which is neither the issuer nor the country of citizenship,   Is it possible to cross the border from outside the EU? Is it allowed to cross Schengen borders? Does this satisfy the requirements to carry an ID imposed by some member states, e.g. Portugal? Is it possible to get on board of an airplane in countries where a valid ID is required for this, e.g. Spain?   In short, can such a card be used just as if it had been issued to a citizen?  I know that technically you can enter the EU even without any identification at all as an EU citizen but that comes with a lot of hassle. I'm interested in how well this works in practice. Is such an identity card assumed a valid document that is waved through?    such a card as an identity document but not a travel document. Which consequences does this have for the holder?

I am a UK citizen. I have lost my passport and planned to travel by Eurostar from London to Paris in five days' time. The quoted time for a fast-track replacement passport is "within 1 week" of an appointment.    When can I book the appointment? I.e., could I book one at 9am this morning, for midday? Could I book one for the evening (after 5pm) or would I have to wait until the next working day? How likely is it that the new passport could arrive within less than a week? If I collect in person rather than it being posted, could I minimise the time to get one? Is there any other way to minimise the time? E.g. if I have a scan of my old passport, and/or it was found by the police and returned to the passport office and cancelled? If I pay a premium?

An excellent  on this topic outlined the various different cases for how to travel on two passports.  One question relating to their Case 4: Different Names, Dual Citizenship Not OK.  (background note: this case involves traveller having Country A passport, and Country B passport, where Country A does not allow dual citizenship. Country C is a neutral third country where the traveller has the right to enter either visa free or with visa.)  When booking ticket A-C-A in Country A name, and C-B-C in Country B name, how do you manage to check into the C-B flight leg?  I.e. is it generally possible to book into the C-B flight leg without having to clear immigration in Country C, say at a transfer desk ? Or could you do this checkin online, and carry a printed boarding pass that gets validated at the transfer desk ?  I plan to travel through Changi airport in the near future, and am not clear if it will be possible to check into this second leg without having to go through immigration.

A friend recently got her ID stolen while she was in the Netherlands. She will soon need to fly to her home country Italy, but she doesn't know what to do.  What can one do in such a situation? As far as I know, since it's Schengen, you don't need an ID card to go through borders. On the other hand, this is air travel, so they always require it for security reasons.   Can she show another document that proves her nationality? A copy of the ID card? Anything?

I was just reading this question   and began wondering what would happen if your passport expired while you were out of your home country?  I would assume that customs would realize that your passport would be expired within the time period of your stay (i.e., you want to stay for a month in X country, but your passport expires in 15 days), and refuse you entry to your destination, but what if customs didn't notice, and you were allowed entry?  I also saw this question   Where one of the answers mentioned that you would be sent back to your home country (if passport was lost away from home), or possibly be able to work with your country's embassy in order to work something out.  So I am curious what would happen if your passport does expire during a trip?  Is it similar to if you lost your passport, or is it something else entirely?  NOTE:  This question is purely out of curiosity.

I am going to Florida in a few days. I have a British passport that I acquired in September 2006. It has a "camera" symbol on front and is biometric. Just seen news items that only passports from October 2006 or later will be accepted by the USA. Is my passport valid for travel to the USA? I do have a valid ESTA.

Marriage certificate Nationalized bank's passbook ()   Their travel date is next week, so there is less time to apply for any photo ID like PAN card/Passport.

When checking-in for a flight online, you are usually asked for details such as date of birth, passport number, passport expiration dates, etc. However despite making minor mistakes a few times (usually in the expiration date field), I was never once questioned by the airline. I also don't remember them checking anything except my name or my visa status.  So the questions are:   Is passenger information (as entered during online check-in) other than name and visa ever validated by airlines? Is that information ever validated by immigration? Will you be denied boarding because you've made a mistake during online check-in?   The question is restricted to UK and USA flights because both are generally strict about requiring APIS data for all inbound flights.

I am planning to visit London for 6 days from the US. I have given my biometrics and when I was preparing to mail my documents to the UK visa processing center in the US, I used this link from the UK government website to cross-check the documents to be sent to the processing center.     (Guide to supporting documents).  Something that really surprised me was in Section 4 (documents that should NOT be sent along with the package) was hotel bookings and flights bookings.     Section 4: documents you should not send unless specifically requested      This page provides guidance on the types of documents that are not required to consider your application.         hotel bookings   flight bookings      Typically I have always been asked to provide my travel plans, accommodation plans and proof of them. This is the first time that travel plans and accommodation plans are not asked to be sent. What might be the reason behind it? This really confuses me. Any help in clearing my confusion would be greatly welcome.

I have a US passport book, and I would like to apply for a US passport card (to have in addition to my passport book).  If I apply using form DS-82, submitting my current passport book as proof of citizenship, does it get returned to me still valid, or does it get cancelled?  Is it possible to apply for a passport card using form DS-11 and avoid sending in my current valid passport book (submitting a birth certificate instead)?  I would prefer answers with official sources, which I have not been able to find myself on the US State Dept website or on the forms themselves (which are written quite ambiguously).
