Hello everyone, I know this question has been asked plenty of times but my situation doesn’t quite align with the similar ones found in search. I am applying in Ho Chi Minh as a remote worker. The question is the place of issue for the passport, my mexican passport issued in Shanghai has a remark about issuing state code as MEX and just a remark in the right bottom as SHANGHAI. Is it correct to select Shanghai as place of issue even if on the passport there are no exact remarks for this as “place of issue”? Thanks so much in advance

Answer summary

The conversation revolves around how to correctly indicate the place of issue for a Mexican passport that was issued in Shanghai while applying for a visa in Ho Chi Minh City. Contributors suggest that the place of issue should be listed as Mexico, regardless of the issuing location noted in the passport, supporting that the issuing country is the most relevant information.

Maybe you can post another picture with more than MEX visible, obscure your name, birthdate, sex, and passport number, but leave all the other fields intact.

The place of issue is always your home country.

So Mexico

Mine says Swedish Consulate in Bangkok, but I have to write Sweden. The one time I didn't, they sent me back to get a new form at immigration
