Hello, world! So as you may have already guessed from the title, this blog will be devoted to showing passport chops and immigration paraphernalia. Not much to say or show, is there? Well, you may be surprised. While I will try my best to post my personal passport chops and passport chops only, I will from time to time come up with posts on things that may interest those others out there to read my blog. I really am not writing this for anyone but myself as who would be so interested in immigration law, passport stamps, and visas as I am?

I'm pretty sure that most will not find this blog very interesting, but I do hope that there is a readership out there as enthusiastic as I am about immigration, passports, and visas.

Happy viewing!

A Chilean in Europe, 1966

This Chilean passport was issued in Santiago to a man who used it for travel to Europe. The passport indicates that he would be travelling to Europe, but it also indicates "Valido para Cualquier Pais," or "Valid for any country."

Given his last name of "von Moltke Steavenson," I suppose he has some Dutch or Germanic roots and maybe that is why he also visited the Netherlands during his trip, which lasted from 3 January to 5 March, 1966. There is a visa to Portugal, but there are is no evidence in the passport that he ever cleared Portuguese immigration. Perhaps Portugal did not at the time stamp the passport when you already had a visa? Or perhaps he was simply in transit and so was not given any entry stamps?

Also, it seems that French and Dutch exit stamps are missing. I know that France stamped passports at departure, so that is quite strange that this has no such stamp.
