Jan S. Krogh's Visas and Passport Stamps from Around the World |
Below are images of entry and exit stamps from my passports. I have got passport stamps from many, but far from all, countries I have visited in my passports. I've tried to pair up the entry and exit stamp from some visits.

| Still three months after the Lithuanian independence in 1991 it was only possible to get issued a 10 days one-entry visa. This was somewhat complicated for us foreigners living in Lithuania wishing to have a legal stay! | Just after the independence I went from Vilnius to Riga. At the border I requested a stamp in order to prove when I had been outside the country. But even at the main highway from Latvia to Lithuania there was no passport control yet, only custom's control. Anyway I barely got a custom's stamp in my passport with handwritten date, so I dared to apply for a visa. (The reason for this was probably that Lithuania did not yet have any proper migration law.) |

| This is the ordinary visa I got on 26 July 1990 from the Polish embassy in Oslo. Notice entry stamp from Warsaw on 24 Oct 1990. After I came to Poland I was invited to Vilnius by the Supreme Soviet of the Republic of Lithuania. | Returning from Lithuania on 3 Nov 1990 by train through the Byelorussian Soviet Republic it was discovered after passing into Poland that I had only an one-entry visa to this country. Therefore on the border between Soviet Union and Poland it was issued (for a small amount of zlotys) an emergency entry visa. By some reason I did not need any extra exit visa! |

| This Soviet visa to the Republic of Lithuania I got at the Soviet
consulate in Warsaw on 26 Oct 1990 prior to my first visit to Lithuania. The visa was valid from 1 to 10 Nov 1990, but actually we landed in Moscow on 30 Oct, and did not get any problem. Maybe due to the fact that it was a correspondent visa. The document was registered at OVIR in Vilnius on 31 Oct, the next day after arrival. |
 |
| This Soviet visa I got from the Soviet consulate in Oslo previous to
my visit to Lithuania before the 1991 revolution. On the very day of the Moscow coup d'etat I had to rush to the Vilnius OVIR office in order to get the needed registration. Four days later it was clear that Lithuania de facto was an independent country. |
