EU citizens: Doesn't need passport to enter 30+ foreing countries.
Russians: Needs passport even to travel within their country.
Adam Široký Hong Kongpeople use the passport from both China and Britain
It really depends on the visited country's visa requirements.
because russia itself is like a continent
Sorry to disappoint you, mate, but Russians do not need a passport to travel within their country. In certain situations, one needs an ID (like a passport) but that applies to "EU citizens" as well.
The OP was probably a joke based on that the Russian internal ID document is also called "passport".

I just looked a bit into it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems the Malaysian government has banned all travel (except Christian pilgrimages) to Israel, and also North Korea for safety reasons. However, in practice this hasn't necessarily stopped Israel from just granting Malaysians visas on a separate piece of paper. Travel bans are weird sometimes.
@@henrynarkiewicz8778 its valid, and free visa access
@@KhAnubis It goes both ways. My Israeli passport prohibits me from at least a dozen countries inc. Malaysia (note: it also opens left-to-right like Iran). But I get visa-free access to Russia, which is cool. The Israeli passport actually makes it *easier* to get into Jordan and the Sinai than the US passport does. And people with only Israeli passports have a harder time getting into the US...because the government really doesn't want people to move away.
The real prize over here though is an EU passport.

@@IS0T0P3_90
No, you mostly just need a national ID card if they're part of Schengen.
@@IS0T0P3_90
Are you a citizen of a Schengen member?
If no, then, yeah, a passport is required.
If yes, then you can travel with a national ID card.
(Also note that Ireland and the UK are not part of Schengen for instance.)
But it's not the card in itself that is necessarily used to identify you, an ID is linked to a database and any dubious ID cards are flagged. If the photo on the card doesn't match with your profile, you probably have a problem. Only countries who have access to your national database (like all Schengen countries) will accept an ID card as proof. It's why for instance Turkey might require a visa, but not a passport, an ID is enough. Morocco is the opposite, strangely enough. Of course, you can still use a passport, too.
@@IS0T0P3_90 I fly between Schengen countries very often and always use my German ID (not Passport) without problems. When you fly not leaving Germany you don't even need to present an ID.
@@IS0T0P3_90 can confirm. I've flown to Finland, the Czech Republic, Germany, Poland, Italy amd Portugal. Never once shown my passport, only ID card

I took a trip to Florance, Italy. Then rode the train to Paris, Ligos, & London. They only checked my passport at the airport. On the train they just asked me for ID. It was funny how everyone said "Ah, New York".
They checked your ID? where? I never had to check my ID within Europe in my 25 years of living here except for buying alcohol or generell police controls :D

In mainland China theres 2 kinds of "passport", one for international travel and another one for visiting Hong Kong/Macau (idk if it includes Taiwan, but I think it either does, or theres a 3rd passport for visiting Taiwan).
For Hong Kong and Macau citizens to go to mainland China, they need a special card called "回鄉證" which literally translates to "the ID that allows you to go back to your home". If HK/MO citizens need to go to Taiwan, they need to apply online and get some special document from Taiwan before they can go there.
After I came to Europe, however, I just realized its so convenient to travel within the EU, like, theres no passport checks after the flight when i fly from Switzerland to France, and France to Italy.
If you want to visit Taiwan as a Chinese, you enter using the international passport and a certain type of visa.
The reason why the Coronavirus outbreak spread too fast in Europe. R.I.P
I have one of those passes, though it's long expired now. It's called a 往来港澳通行证, which roughly translates to "pass for crossing to and from Hong Kong and Macau". It has stickers in it that look like visas, but are technically permits for exiting mainland China. I've heard they've been replaced by cards though.
A fun fact is that the Southern Cross on the Brazilian passport was only introduced as recently as 2015. The former design had the Brazilian coat of arms, which already had a tiny Southern Cross with it. I suppose they did that in order to show proximity to the Mercosul, but many Brazilians disliked the new cover.
I loved it :v
I disliked it at first, but now I got used to it. If I were to add back the coat of arms I'd put it smaller, like the Swiss one.
Pedro Marcelino I loved it. Southern Cross >> Coat of Arms
Im happy they brought back the coat of arms, although I wish somehow there still was some nod to Mercosul other than just the title
I personally liked the cross. But our former president went back to the coat of arms to be more “nationalistic”.
it makes me so happy you included 'kuwait' i feel like we're finally getting recognised 💪🏻💪🏻

Russian internal passport is not primarily for internal travel. It is our main ID, so everything ranging from buying alcohol or getting a loan in the bank or filing an oficial document requires a passport. We get info on our relationship status (married or not and with whom) and children, military service, registration (which city do you live in) and even blood type (this one's optional) put in there.
Unpopular opinion: Brazil's passport has the best looking cover.

The first time I went to Germany I asked the border official if he could stamp my passport and he said no and I think about that interaction every day
Coming into Germany was actually the first time my passport was ever stamped.
KhAnubis That makes sense, given you’re from the US. In Europe (pre-Brexit, ofc), we don’t get stamped anymore - although when I visited Paris I came by Eurostar and now there’s an adorable stamp in my passport in the shape of a train.
I flew out of the US in my US passport, into the UK with my E.U. passport and into Greece wi5h my Greek ID card. Citizen of the world!

As a European, I find it so strange that so many Americans aren't interested in visiting foreign cultures. I find it amazing to go visit other countries and experience their culture and way of living.. Maybe H.C. Andersen, who's also Danish, who said the famous words "At rejse er at leve" translated to "To travel is to live" might have influenced Danish travel culture? We see a lot of American tourists here in Copenhagen though, and I'm also happy to see that the percentage of people in the states holding a passport is now almost 50%.
according to Statistics Canada-Stats Canada for short only 10%U.S.residents have a Passport-whereas 80% Canada residents have one.
As an American, I find it quite sad that so few people here have them. Traveling to different places is so interesting and enlightening.
@@chrischolewa9104 lol that's bullshit statics from delusional canadians
I can understand why the Americans have no passport … because they have almost all climate in there own country. For example when the German wants tropical climate they must fly to let’s say Thailand. The Americans fly to Hawaii … the same is for the winter the Americans can stay in there own country and don’t need to leave it. So passport needed.
@@wolfgangselle3272 Sure, if you travel for weather and not to experience culture..
In case you don't know, Malaysia is one of the first countries to use biometric for their passports. However, it does not conform to the biometric data standard of current generation of the passport. And Malaysia's passport has its ”data page" at the back of the passport to facilitate the use of the autogate at the immigration areas.

It is not just border agents who can make alterations to your passport. The U.S. Citizen Services Unit at U.S. Embassies and Consulates are also authorized to alter passports.
There is another interesting fact about the U.S. passport, that you sort of touched on when you read the information on the front page. That is there is a difference between a 'U.S. citizen' and a 'U.S. national'. All citizens are also nationals, but there is a very small and select group of people who are considered 'U.S. nationals', but not 'U.S. citizens'. These are people who come from American Samoa. They are entitled to a U.S. passport, but their passports are actually stamped with a notation stating the difference. From a practical standpoint, the biggest difference is that 'nationals' do not have the right to vote in U.S. elections, nor can they hold government jobs which require citizenship. But 'nationals' have the unlimited right to permanently live and work anywhere within the United States or its territories and other possessions, can serve in the U.S. military, and have the right to U.S. consular services and protections abroad.
The same with the Barbados passport.any Barbadian embassy,consulate or Barbadian high commission outside of Barbados is authorised to make any alterations to our passport.
For US nationals all you need is to apply and appear in front of a judge and take the oath boom you are now a US citizen
Fun fact: the company that designs Canadian passport and adds all security features etc(they design Canadian notes too) also designs New Zealand passports along with 30 other countries I believe. That's why Canadian and NZ passports have very similar security features and are some of the strongest in the world... churr

Also, the Chinese passport seems to get more and more useful when more countries are offering visa-free or visa on arrival (with some even for free). But the issue is that, usually if it's free, it's because public safety concern (or even Anti-Chinese events) drove away tourists and thus they need to give some special offer. So basically visa-free is just marketing strategy.
Anti chinese events? Lol wut?
@@oussematrabelsi9429 Some south-east Asia country have a lot of Chinese (as in race, not nationship) residents. Some people don't like that so there were some conflict about that, which of course would drive Chinese (as in nationship) tourists away from that country.

I've recently noticed that UE passports actually display "European Union" before the name of the country. This might look like nothing but actually tells a lot about how the Union prevails more and more and how countries are slowly but surely just becoming parts of something bigger.
Definitely something people may have mixed feelings on. I've talked to Europeans who have said they're French/German/Italian first, European second. The US actually used to be like this (i.e. Marylander first, American second), but then the civil war changed all that.
I have actually been wanting to make a video on what the American Civil War can teach us about Brexit and Euroskepticism one of these days (of course, you're welcome to make a similar video if you want)
@@KhAnubis I didn't know about America! I think 99% feel first French/German... and then European. I'm French and I can tell that's the case for me and all of the people I know. But I still think going to a more global functioning is something good, if well done!
I like to think of myself as European-American first, and Norwegian-Minnesotan second. In America you say "I live in Europe", and in Europe you say "I live in America". Non-Americans and non-Europeans don't usually particularly care about which individual state you're from; state identities are really only useful for distinguishing between fellow Americans and fellow Europeans. When you come from both or neither, it's a lot easier to see how the different states of America and Europe are a lot more uniform than locals like to say.
But that's just my own view shaped from my own experiences and my own worldview, and I definitely get why most people still associate with their state first, and I can respect that. There are plus sides to putting local identity first, just like there are plus sides to putting continental and global identity first.
@@rea8585 i think it depends where i am. when i am abroad with in Europe i will identify my self with being Dutch .outside of it i will identify m self with both My country as with Europe as a whole. and with in my own country I will tell you my province and/or town i live in.
While my country is great, I like to think of myslef as european first. I wander what are the statistics on how many people would like a federalized or united Europe.

Something to know:
We were in Vietnam on a trip flying to Thailand, Phuket. It was 8th of January and my brothers visa lasted until 23rd of June. If you don't know most countries require that the passport is valid for 6+ months upon enrty(even if entering for only a couple of days), which his was. Turns out it wasn't because they only look only to the first of the last month, which means his is valid to 1st of June which is not 6 months, which means he got denied entry into Thailand a lot of other country, he could basically only stay in Vietnam or go to an Airport and back home.

Portugal 🇵🇹 No VISA required up to 6 months wherever we go. It helps a lot 🙂
One important thing you missed, US citizens are allowed to be issued two valid passports, one with 10 years expiration, and one with 2 years expiration.
You are allowed to have two passports for certain reasons, one of them if you are abroad, and you need to get a Visa to a third country and you don't want to be without a passport while your Visa is being processed, so the US consulate will issue you a valid 2 years passport so you can apply for the Visa with that passport. (I have done this)
I think the US is the only country that allows its citizens to do that, please let let me know if you know any other country that allows this.
Two? In Germany you can have 10
Even russians are allowed to have multiple passports with whatever expiration date. For example, you got passport1, that is gonna expire in 4 years, but decided to make another one to travel to a dangerous/weird country, so when applying to passport2, you just click on "don't disable my old passport". And that's it
Germany also allows 2 passport at the same time each for 10 years valid, but you must have a valid reason. Sample you have a Israeli Visa or stamp in one passport and want to travel in an arabic country without diplomatic relationship with Israel.
Thank you,this is actually helpful. It hope the Australian passport is similar to the us passport.
Why?
That's nice
At one point my dad was doing so much business travel to countries which require visas that he was issued a second passport. I vaguely recall there was a lot of hassle to get it
Sorry but this Passport will not bring you in every country except North Korea. Actually the US Passport is considered pretty weak compared to some others eg. the Passport from Germany or Singapur
But granted that most coutries you cant visit... you dont wanna be there anyway
That's not how you measure the strength of a passport... It just means you'll need a visa with an American passport to more countries than say a German would. But you can't just show up to a country without a passport and ask for a visa, visa requirements are based on what passport you carry. Unlike North Korea, which just flat out rejects foreigners (for the most part).
Lets be honest ... the US does not Make lots of friends
*Singapore Add south Korea to the mix too.
"pretty weak"
It's only 2 less countries Americans have access to at 186 countries, than Germans at 188 countries.
You're right that it doesn't bring you to every country but it isn't considered pretty weak, even in comparison to Germany.
I have a Norwegian and US passport, both grant me pretty much the same access, but not always. For example I was transiting through China and for whatever reason they don't allow transit for Norwegian passport holders (at least at the time) without a visa. So I used my US passport instead despite primarily travelling with the Norwegian passport. Ez hack

There are also Hong Kong and Macau pass in China that is for traveling to and from Hong Kong and Macau as a mainlander. Though you can also just use a regular passport. The point of this special passport is that you can use the unmanned e-pass channel to get through the border quicker. Though it could be obsolete in 2 decades if the same feature can be integrated into the Chinese citizen ID, as that thing already stores both one's face and all 10 of his fingerprints.

I don't understand how Americans can get by without a passport. I mean, what do you use as your 2nd form of identification?
They don't need one
I have a US passport. It is only used when traveling internationally. Until 2002, I didn't even need one at all, since all of my international travel was to Canada and Mexico, and before 2002, you didn't need a passport to go between Canada/US/Mexico as long as you have a Canada/US/Mexico ID. (In my case, a driver's license.) Ironically, for a few years, you didn't need a passport to get in to Canada or Mexico, but you did need one to return to the US. (I honestly wonder what they would have done - I'm a natural-born citizen, if I was to walk up to a border point, with no passport, would they try to deport me even though there is nowhere to deport me to?)
We used to be able to use a library card or a student ID card (if issued by a state university) as a 2nd form of ID, as both are technically government issued IDs, though most people either have a driver's license or a state issued ID card for regular day-to-day stuff as well as for voting. The thing that makes US ID cards most confusing is that besides our passports, most ID cards are issued by the states not the federal government, so they still aren't entirely standardized nationwide.
@@STOCathain IK in NY you can get a drivers license that allows travel to Canada and Mexico that follows a certain protocol. I have one and plan on using it next year to go to Canada. Also Americans don't need a passport, you have to remember the US is as big as mainland Europe (minus Russia)

@Mike Omniscient if you don't travel much outside of your residential country or visa area it would be a waste of money.
I only need it if i go visit my dad who lives in the USA.
living in the Netherlands crossing the borders with in the Schengen zone is not a problem at all.
As a US citizen, everybody abroad is surprised when they know I'm from Los Angeles and envy me for that. In Los Angeles, I'm afraid to be there just walking or driving.
Sam Momin. Admires?
I can't wait to get one...
I went to take an exam for my teaching certification and I took my passport instead of my driver’s license (I had misplaced it). They almost wouldn’t let me in because it wasn’t my DL. They tried to tell me it wasn’t an official ID.
I had to explain to them that it was actually MORE official since it was federal not state.
There is also an agreement between Argentina, Bolivia, Brasil, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Paraguay, Perú and Uruguay * to allow citizens of that nations to travel to any other with only the identification card.
* In some sites Venezuela is also in the list, but I don't know their current status related to the migratory crisis.
I think unfortunately, given the Venezuelan crisis, that agreement might crumble sooner or later.😓 Man, I wish UNASUR would've been as strong as the EU is now!
@@OpinionesDeJACCsOpinions Already Chile and Colombia are thinking of getting away from UNASUR to build another organization without Venezuela.
But already UNASUR is quite dead, because of the competition from OAS, Mercosur, The Alliance of the Pacific, the Andean Community, ALBA, etc.
Also UNASUR was mostly a Chavez-Lula-Kirchner, so without them there isn't someone to push forward the organization.

They should have reformed the organization is all I'm saying! Irrelevant of who created it. I see all the good the EU has done for Europe and Europeans aren't as close as us South-Americans! I don't know what my country and Chile want with creating one more of the endless organizations Latin-American countries create on the regular.🙄 The Pacific Alliance is fine, but South America is more compact and closer both physically and socially than Latin America as a whole.
@@OpinionesDeJACCsOpinions you forgot Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana. They are on South America too.
@@depeeper218 French Guiana is technically in the EU. Because of that France's longest border is 800km long with Brasil xD
these are the things that should be taught at school
Love how your example was Kuwait.. Surprised me there a little hehe.
I’m interested in how you ended up with an East German passport :D
1:42 HOLY CRAP YOU HAVE AN EAST GERMAN PASSPORT
Not every day you see a passport of the GDR, and it is even rarer that you see an American citizen hold one!
Some useful tips as I work with this stuff all the time. Just wish you slowed down a bit and spoke more clearly.
At 0:28, second line from the top, the right most passport looks like it's a KhAnubis passport 😂
It just blows my mind many Americans will go their entire lives without ever getting a passport or stepping out of America.
Parker's NBA Videos maybe the world doesn’t have anything to offer which the US does.
We really don't feel the need to leave the US for the most part. Most people in the US won't even travel to all parts of the US. It's that big.
I don't think people realize how big America is. Its not like you can drvie everywhere. No. From East to West coast is 5,500 miles. Thats three days of Non stop driving. NON STOP.
@@zoltek9001 what about Canada-its much bigger than U.S.A.in size!
People are trying to sneak into the US, we have to stay here to protect our stuff so they don't steal it.

Free Passport?? - Do you own your own country?
great Video !
I'm from Kuwait and quick fact. If you have American Visa, you can enter Mexico without having a Mexican visa. I tried it twice. However, you have to pay some money if you are staying more than one week. if it's less then you're good
just little bit of correction : India issues dark blue colour passports for its citizens. maroon (a form of red ) for diplomats and white for other governments officials.
