Of what use is the ‘world passport’?

The World Passport issuers, have claimed successful entry into several countries with it. There is no independent verification about this one way or the other. Again, you have to get into a discussion over what makes a nation. The many micro-nations, from the absurd to the rather well thought out and planned ones, might be more willing to accept this document as opposed to a major country. And I have heard through reliable second-hand sources of several cases in which it was somewhat documented that the World Passport did allow for entry into some smaller Central and South American countries. There is also the possibility that since it resembles the physical appearance of most passports, immigration officials, maybe in times of peak travel, accepted the passport without proper inspection of it, and honestly erred in allowing the person into the country. These scenarios however would not make me feel very comfortable that I would want to travel internationally with that being my sole piece of documentation. However if you were trying to cross a land border, where some are so porous you just simply walk across the boundary, through an immigration checkpoint and you were doing it more out of curiosity than really needing to get across the border into that new country, it might be worth a try. Worst case scenario, they refuse you and you stay in your home country or whatever country you were authorized to be in.

See lessI highly doubt whether you can study in Europe without any English language test if you’re not from an English speaking country. Under extreme circumstances, you can get in touch with the university and they might waive off the test for you if English is your first language and your entire education has been done with English as the primary mode of communication, but that’s extremely rare. Also, not having an English language score can hamper your chances of getting admission into the institutes, do keep that in mind.
Do you love tourist traps or you try as much as possible to avoid them?
If it’s something I regret doing or paying, then I consider it a tourist trap. Fortunately, I don’t have a lot of regrets. The one notable exception is the Pick a Pearl experience at Dole Plantation. I’ve never seen a “Pick a Pearl” in action so I was intrigued. The sales staff and their sales piRead more
If it’s something I regret doing or paying, then I consider it a tourist trap.
See lessFortunately, I don’t have a lot of regrets. The one notable exception is the Pick a Pearl experience at Dole Plantation. I’ve never seen a “Pick a Pearl” in action so I was intrigued. The sales staff and their sales pitches were convincing, without being pushy. They even allowed us to have multiple “pick a pearl” experiences if I just buy a setting for the pearl.
So I did. I am not too big on jewelry and it wasn’t something I was planning to buy. I think I instantly regretted my purchase the moment I walked away. Or at least I felt a twinge of buyer’s remorse and thought that maybe – just maybe – that I just got suckered into a tourist trap.
