with all the stupid shit happening around me

It's a good idea to keep a valid passport around no matter if you live in North America or Europe. Doesn't hurt to be prepared.

Good luck getting one right now, they fired everyone who's not a cop

Edit: I've been corrected, passports are going it seems. I wonder how visas are...

Go get one, it's only a question of time when you can't anymore.

It's only a matter of time until they stop letting us out

Better hurry and get it before they make it practically or literally impossible for everyone except the most privileged..

By the time you realize you need to have a passport, you should have already gotten one. I got my first passport in 2000. It took like a week. I lost it and had to get a new one in 2007. I got grilled by Homeland Security in a windowless office about whether or not I was familiar with the terrorist cells in the country I was vacationing in because it was a country with a significant Muslim population. I can’t imagine what it’s like now.

Sign up for some exchange program in a neutral country, buy a round-trip ticket, and just never come back.

I just picked up my first passport in my entire life. I’m trying to get away from this hell hole.

Incredible to think that something like 65% of Americans have NEVER left the country, not even to Canada or Mexico. More impressive, even, is that like 40% have left their home STATE.

it is still very easy to get a passport. I helped a friend get theirs last month, and more over the years.

don't listen to any of the ignorant comments saying it's difficult to get one; they don't know what they're talking about.

you can do it online or in person at a US Post office.

fill out the application form, takes maybe 20 minutes tops, pay the fee (165$), they take your picture, you will get your passport in the mail in a couple of weeks, it lasts for 10 years, renewable on the go from embassies and consulates.

If you have any questions about passports or traveling, fire away.

What good would it do? Unless you’re planning to overstay a tourist passport entry and become an illegal in that country?

I renewed my US passport about 6 months ago. I was eligible to renew online. Cost around $130 if I remember correctly. The online process was actually really easy and it came in the mail only a few weeks later (2-3 weeks). Highly recommend renewing online if you meet the eligibility requirements.

Or maybe a psspsspssport?

Americans are starting to self deport to discover new worlds.

Aren't you afraid other countries will treat you the way Americans are treating others? Why not stay and fix your goddamn country.

I got mine very recently and I'm so happy about it. I'm trying to get my family members to get it as well but they refuse to, it's upsetting.

Do people live without a passport? Cause I dunno, maybe it is how my family ran things in my childhood but everyone of us had a passport as a must. (I'm from a lesser known EU country)

It's your presidents words by the way.

to get on a boat, that I may or may not need to own, and sail away from here.

Passports only matter if you want to come back
