european union passport stamps
I visited France, recently, and got two different kinds of stamps.
Upon entering, I got a stamp signifying that I had come in via ferry. I tried to do a Google search for pictures similar to the stamp I got and found these: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/3/382...f40436.jpg?v=0 http://www.istockphoto.com/file_thum... _denmark.jpg They're not exact, but they're close. The fact that those two, alone, are different, makes me think that maybe the stamp for coming in via sea has changed over time? Or maybe different ships signify different things? Anyway, when I left, I got another stamp signifying that I was leaving by train. It looked like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dcgreer/216373187/ Google searches suggest that all European Union passport stamps look fairly similar. My question is... do all countries in the European Union stamp your passport when you enter and again when you leave? Also, what other types of stamps are there? There are stamps for, near as I can tell, entering / exiting via sea and entering / exiting via train. There's also a stamp for entering / exiting via plane [1]. Are their stamps for walking from one country to another? Are there even places in Europe where you can legally do that? What about entering / exiting by car?

It doesn't seem to matter if I go to an EU country, non EU country, Schengen, non-Schengen. However, apart from Poland I haven't travelled much in what used to be called Eastern Europe. |

I got one entering Slovenia by rail from Austria in 2006- no idea why- wasn't expecting one! I entered Slovenia again by bus from Croatia on the same trip, and no stamp that time... -- (*) of the royal duchy of city south and deansgate www.davidhorne.net (email address on website) "The fact is that when I compose I never think of and never have thought of meeting the listener." -George Perle |
