An Ontario woman says she was detained for 24 hours and refused entry to Costa Rica because her passport was damaged.
minus-squarejaselle@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up14·24 hours agoYeah one time my passport got slightly wet – just enough to make it a bit crinkly – and my gov’t forced me to process it as “damaged” and pay a fine
minus-squareBillyTheKid2@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·16 hours agoSimilar to me. My passport got wet when I was in the rain. The lady at the Canadian passport office literally yelled at me for damaging it. I was surprised, but they seem to take it very seriously.
