An Ontario woman says she was detained for 24 hours and refused entry to Costa Rica because her passport was damaged.
minus-squaredeege@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up0·4 days agoLoosing your passport is a pain. Getting it replaced requires that you go plead an oath and have that oath notarized by a notary public or lawyer. Time and money but mostly time. I found that damned thing a year later.
minus-squareJohnnyCanuck@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-24 days agoYeah, but I think I would prefer that to giving a border guard an excuse… Edit: or I guess it could accidentally go through the washer.
