bubba1 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I heard from a mate they stopped stapling the cards as a cost cutting measure to save on staples. Great idea if you ask me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilbaz Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Until you lose it. I staple it in where I can copy it on the same page as my "permission to stay" stamp for ease of photocopying. I remove the staple before going out of the country - I had a page of the PP ripped by an IO at Nong Khai due to rough removal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary side effect: They no longer expect a staple to be there upon departure processing and just grab the card quickly, ripping a page in the process. You now have a void passport since it's damaged? I've had a hotel staple the card after they made a photocopy, thinking they are doing me a favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it sounded like you didn't start that wise process until after you had a passport page ripped out by an Immigrations Officer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they want to stay with card based arrival forms -- it would be nice if they converted to the style used in Singapore which fit nice and snuggly in the passport without a staple. On the odd occasion they have not stapled it, but then on another they went out of their way to staple it through a Cambodian visa (and not at the edge -- more of their version of punching Cambodia ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
