[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you even need pages anymore? Most countries don't stamp, no?[/quote]

Every country I've been to lately stamps, with the exception of the EU if you can use the automated gates, which aren't fully installed yet. I travel a lot. I just checked and 30 pages of my passport are filled. First, there's paper visas -- needed for China and Russia among the large countries, and those two usually only give out single-entry visas so you need a new one for each trip, so there goes an entire page each time. Then some countries have either huge passport stamps that take up half the page (India, Oman, Brazil) or they put an arrival sticker in that's big (Japan in particular). With Turkey, they have a sort of big square stamp for departure and this big triangle stamp for arrival, and they stamp them next to each other, so there goes half a page each time you go to Turkey.

I wish they would stamp less. Two passports ago, I had 2 books of additional pages added in, and they informed me that's it. After that, I'd need a new passport as a next step. It wasn't physically possible to add in any more pages. A few of my friends who travel a lot get 2 passports for this reason, or because their passport will sit a while at an embassy waiting on a visa, meanwhile they need to travel elsewhere.
