Do you have a passport?

[Prowler]

Some of us here travel abroad while others haven't left their country ever.

Do I have a passport? At the moment, no. I have one from when I was younger but it's expired and I need to get a new one, which I plan on doing this year. What did I use my passport for before? I used it to travel to the UK, Ireland and Tunisia when I was younger. And also Switzerland. When I went there as a little kid, they had not joined the Schengen agreement yet. They only joined it in 2008 or so iirc. Speaking of which...

Living in Europe, in a European Union and Schengen agreement member in particular, I don't need a passport to travel to 28 different European countries, as of today. Here's a visual explaining it:

Spoiler:

The last two countries I've been to were Czechia and Poland. All I needed was my Citizen Card/national ID to get on my flight in Lisbon and to check-in at the hotels in Prague and Krakow, and also to enter Auschwitz-Birkenau in Oswiecim, since that place has airport level security.

...but I plan on going to Japan and South Korea someday. Not to mention I could also use the advantage of being able to have layover/connection flights in the UK, which is a country that has always required passports for foreign visitors even back when they were members of the EU. Sometimes you just can't get a good one in Paris, Amsterdam or Frankfurt, and London will be the better option in terms of schedule and price!

What about you?
