The 10 coolest passport pads are also the hardest to get

We found the 10 most unusual passport stamps in the world to have absolutely in his travel book!

Having to pass through the customs of some countries can be a rather annoying moment if you don’t like long queues and tourist hordes. However, in some places such as Antarctica or San Marino, for example, it is an opportunity to obtain a Customs stamp passport for the least unusual and original.

Voluntarily or not, we all seek to have the most different stamps on our passport, with the aim of bragging to his friends. Moreover, if you visit all countries of the world, you will need 4 passports to receive all the buffers, but it is important to know that it is extremely difficult to get some... The hardest to have are also the coolest!

10. Cayman Islands

This passport stamp is simply adorable. “Sir Turtle” was created by Suzy Soto in 1963 and still welcomes visitors from all over the world today.

9. South Pole

If you go to the South Pole, you deserve a stamp on your passport. It is obviously not a country, but the most ambitious hikers can get a commemorative stamp from the scientific station “Amundsen-Scott South Pole”.

8. Guantanamo Bay, Cuba

Now that the island of Cuba is more officially open to American and foreign tourists, the influx of travellers should increase significantly. However, to get the Guantanamo Bay buffer, it remains very complicated, because only the military are allowed to enter the area.

7. San Marino

It is certainly not the most difficult buffer to get, but it is probably one of the most outstanding. Indeed, the person who obtains it on his passport can then boast of being passed by the oldest sovereign state in the world and one of the smallest countries in the world .

6. Akhzivland

Considered as a micro-nation, this place is located on the northern Mediterranean coast of Israel between Nahariya and the border with Lebanon, and is only one hectare. Akhzivland has only two residents, but they own their own passport stamp.

5. Tristan da Cunha

This island located in the South Atlantic Ocean is considered to be the most isolated inhabited island in the world. There is no airport, so visitors must take a boat for five days from the nearest point in South Africa before getting the so coveted buffer.

4. Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllantysiliogogogoch

No typing here: with its 58 characters, the name of this village of Wales is the longest in Europe, and the second longest in the world. It is precisely for this reason that travellers will be able to get the stamp so sought. To do this, you will have to go to the James Pringle Weavers store.

3. Machu Picchu

Although this UNESCO World Heritage Site is located in Peru, travellers can receive an additional special stamp on their passport at the entrance of Inca ruins. What a better way to mark your hiking ?

2. North Korea

Since only 1500 tourists are allowed to visit North Korea every year, getting one of these stamps on your passport is something very rare and special. To pass the customs, you must book a visit of the country very closed with approved travel agencies , and you will receive your stamp at your entry.

1. Antarctica

Although it is not technically a country, this continent is managed by more than 50 nations. There is no official passport stamp, but visitors can get one in the various scientific stations that are established there.
