Mike T Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Can anyone advise where in St. Thomas and St. Maarten you get your passports stamped? Kinda silly, I know but my Wife and I like to collect those when we travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zacharius Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 I don't have any direct answers, but a couple of things to consider: If you do find someplace, make sure it's an OFFICIAL immigration facility. Some places have fake touristy stamps, and those can invalidate a passport. Stamps are becoming less and less common as immigration systems go more digital and info is more easily shared between countries. Even if you do find a place, it's very rare that US immigration will stamp a US passport, and note that St. Thomas is the United States.

Thanks @Zacharius...I didn't consider your first point...2nd, yes and 3rd I knew...just fun to collect them of the various places we've been.

I was surprised to get it back when we last renewed and it seems to be the safest place to get those fun stamps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
