thanks a lot for sharing! the thing is that I am not from Kiev, It takes me additional 12 hours by train to get from Kiev to my home town. All the flight connects, ferry/bus/train rides, etc make the trip quite long and exhausting... plus it's quite expensive...

Another problem is that according to the Ukrainian law, I can get a passport only in the region where I am registered. Due to the fact that Ukraine has recently got a visa free zone with Schengen countries and my region is very close to the border with Poland, quite a lot of people in my region are getting new bio passports. The lines for getting a passport are simply huge, some people wait up to 6 months for new bio passport...

It just doesn't make sense for me to go to Ukraine and then come back to Asia.

I guess I'll try my luck with getting new passport in Vietnam

Unfortunately, not... it’s quite expensive to travel to USA and to stay there. So, not considering that option for the moment

Samwise Fila yes, good advice! Thank you 🙏

@Richard ********

I tried different ones. It’s 12 hours train ride inside Ukraine only

If I loose passport, don’t they disqualify it all together with all the visas in it? Then even if I find it, it’s not going to be valid as it’s marked as lost already?

@Reiner ********

thank you! I think I’ll go to Vietnam... they provide 3 months visa and dont care about the number of pages in the passport as they provide loose leaf visa if there are no pages

Good advice, thank you!

I’ve got a 10 year USA visa in my current passport which I would like to keep. That’s the only reason why I cannot say I lost my passport. Thought about it... thank you!

@Jatin ******

thank you 🙏 that’s my plan!

Thanks everyone for your comments. I found out that Vietnam gives 3 months visa and also does loose leaf visa... so far it’s the only option besides going back to my home country... not that excited about 3 months in Vietnam though, would rather stay in Thailand if there was an option...
