Didn't get stamped going through Paris, nor in Stockholm, but didn't got questioned about it by immigration on the vessel I joined, and they gave me a nice boat stamp. 

Reckon it'll happen more with more people travelling.

Tbh didn't even get a stamp when I went through Canadian passport control so not sure if it's still as important.

Yeah I didn’t get a stamp visiting South Korea either in 2019.

Got stamps on my old EU passport going to and coming back from Ukraine in 2019.

Ukraine not in EU, so that would make sense.

I know, just seems more common for certain places.

I went all the way to Australia and New Zealand without getting stamps in 2017 cos of the automated machines. Had half a mind to turn right around and head straight back to Blighty such was the disappointment.

Got one in Houston two years ago by virtue of being a moron who couldn't work the machine, so they sent me to a man who tutted like it was an Olympic sport, before stamping me.

Must say I am a massive fan of passport stamps and am pretty proud of the current haul in my British passport. That expires in June though and I'll be on to a shiney new Irish one that I've had a year but not used yet, cos Covid. Don't think I'll get as many in that one.

When I was in San Marino 20 years ago you could pay for a passport stamp as a souvenir in the Post Office. They stuck a postal stamp in your passport and ink stamped it 

The only other stamp I've had is North Macedonia and it's not very exciting

When I was in Peru 15 years ago as well as getting stamped on entry, there were internal paramilitary checkpoints where you got your baggage x-rayed and searched and passports stamped. There were and I think still are anti-government insurgents, so presumed they were on the lookout for drugs and weapons.

Zanzibar stamp your passports too when you come off the boat from Dar es Salaam. Despite being part of Tanzania they like to pretend they're a separate country. I got in an argument as they claimed my visa was only valid for one border crossing.

Nice Douglas Ross impression there. I'm sure folk in the The United Republic of Tanzania say the same about parts of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

I'm actually the same! 😜

@Torpar can't tell me what a Canadian passport stamp looks like

Last time I got one was in 2016 so they may have changed, I haven't used my passport to get back into Canada since getting my Permanent Resident card
