A passport stamp is an inked impression in a passport typically made by a rubber stamp upon entering or exiting a territory.
Passport stamps may occasionally take the form of stickers, such as entry stamps from Japan, South Korea, and Sri Lanka. Depending on nationality, a visitor may not receive a stamp at all (unless specifically requested), such as a European Union (EU) or EFTA citizen travelling to the Schengen Area, Albania, or North Macedonia. Foreign visitors to Iran (if your passport from visa-free country - a stamp is affixed) and North Korea also do not receive stamps in passports. Most countries issue exit stamps in addition to entry stamps. A few countries issue only entry stamps, including Canada, El Salvador, Ireland, New Zealand, Mexico, the United Kingdom and the United States.
