Notes
- ↑ Due to its landlocked condition, Andorra does not issue a separate passport stamp. However one is available upon request at the border.
- ↑ Argentina requires citizens of some countries to pay a reciprocity fee before entering the country (pictured left).
- ↑ Australia no longer issues departure stamps for any passport holder unless requested. Entry stamps are still given to non-Australian passport holders and on request for Australian passport holders. Australia is using an electronic visa system, so there is no more labeling of a visa stamp in a passport.
- ↑ The Bahamas does not issue exit stamps.
- ↑ Though stamps are issued upon both arrival and departure, there are only minor differences. The first 3 numbers after the date are assigned to the various points of entry and exit. The next number indicates entry or exit, '1' for entry, '2' for exit. The four digit number along the right edge is the Federal Police agent that made the stamp.
- ↑ Canada does not issue exit stamps. On Canada's border with the United States, stamps are issued only if requested.
- ↑ El Salvador does not issue any stamps if coming from Honduras/Nicaragua/Guatemala due to C4-group regulations.
- ↑ While flying from Greenland to Iceland, Greenland issues no entry stamps. Exit stamps are issued by request only, and they match the style of a stamp of mainland Denmark. The point of entry is Kalaallit Nunaat, indicating that the stamp is from Greenland instead of Denmark. Shown here in a US passport, overlapping a South African exit stamp.
- ↑ Guatemala uses many different stamps with various Mayan glyphs. But there is no difference in design between entry or exit stamps. Entry or exit is marked separately by border officials.
- ↑ The date, duration and coat of arms are stamped/written separately by border officials. There is no difference in design between entry or exit stamps.
- ↑ As a special administrative region of the People's Republic of China, travelers entering Hong Kong will receive a different stamp than those entering mainland China. A Visa is issued to foreign passport holders only. An entry permit issued to mainland Chinese passport holders who apply in overseas or Macau but not in mainland China.
- ↑ The visa stamps and top visa pictured are normally issued for business or official visitors only. Most tourists are issued a tourist card, pictured in blue, that is not contained within a passport and is surrendered upon departure.
- ↑ Passports containing stamps from Kosovo will have them "annulled" upon entry to Serbia. The entry stamp shown was annulled.
- ↑ A Visa is issued to foreign passport holders only. An entry permit issued to mainland Chinese passport holders who apply in overseas or Hong Kong but not in mainland China. In mainland China, Chinese citizens must obtain a Two-way Permit with the endorsement for entering Macau.
- ↑ Because of its relationship with France, Monaco does not issue a separate passport stamp. However a free one is available upon request at the tourist office.
- ↑ Nagorno Karabakh does not issue entry or exit stamps. A travel permit is issued additionally to a visa and will be taken on departure at the border points.

- ↑ New Zealand does not issue exit stamps. New Zealand also doesn't issue entry stamps for NZ/Australian passport holders unless requested.
- ↑ Nicaragua does not issue any exit stamps on exit to Honduras/El Salvador/Guatemala due to C4-group regulations.
- ↑ All visitors to Niue are given a 30-day visa on arrival (marked by the entry stamp).
- ↑ Paraguay requires citizens of many countries to obtain a visa before entering the country (pictured left). This can generally only be acquired at a Paraguayan Embassy or upon arrival at ASU Airport.
- ↑ Due to its landlocked condition, San Marino visa policy follows the Italian one. San Marino does not issue regular passport stamps, and only issues souvenir stamps upon request at the visitors centre.
- ↑ Mainland Chinese residents who reside in Mainland China or overseas must apply an entry permit in advance. This kind of entry permit is different to the Taiwanese Visa (See Taiwan Entry Permit for Mainland China citizens in Gallery). Hong Kong permanent residents who hold a HKSAR passport and/or British National (Overseas) passport, and Macau permanent residents who hold a Macao Special Administrative Region passport may apply an entry permit online before entering Taiwan or apply one in major Taiwan's international airports for a fee while arriving. The National without household registration must apply an entry permit in order to enter Taiwan even when they have a Republic of China passport. Other aliens may apply a regular visa if they have to.
- ↑ The United Kingdom does not issue exit stamps.
- ↑ The United States does not issue exit stamps.
