ORIGINAL POSTER

Passport with limited blank pages.

Hi, i have 5 full blank pages and 5 half blank pages left in my UK passport. Wondering what is the usual amount of space used each time a visa is extended? I am looking at either the Special tourist visa or the 30 Day (45 day incl quarantine) so each time these are renewed should expect a full page paper plus stamps to be used? The guidance says need min 3 pages to apply so just trying to figure out how many renewals i could do before need to renew the passport. Thanks!

When you get your new passport, it’s worth stumping up the extra and get the large passport with the additional pages 😉

When will your passport expire? If expires within the next 6 months the airline will not let you fly.

This is the visa exempt. You'll get a small stamp in your passport (see the exemption/ departure stamp in this post). However, the visa exempt is only valid for 30 days, starting on the day you arrive. You'll have to get an extension of stay based on being a tourist, which is a

The STV is new, and I'm not sure HOW it's going to be stamped. The Special Tourist visa itself is a full page sticker. You *MAY BE* an "admitted to" stamp in your passport when you arrive, which is small. The stamp to the left is the arrival stamp, the stamp to the right is the departure stamp.

Thanks. These new stamps are being issued at some immigration entry points. I think they are about the same size. I couldn't find the new stamps on my computer
