Yes, for example. Mexican passports take around 2 weeks if you get them in Mexico, they are much fancier and harder to counterfeit. If you get one in Chicago for example, they give you a piece of cheap paper with your picture laminated on to it. The one over there is fully digital.

145 visa free countries




114 visa free countries

They are pretty much the same, but from what i have heard, the British one is more convenient in Europe.

Yes, master. Hong Kong was a British colony for about 160 years. Before Hong Kong returned to China in 1997, every Hong Konger holds a British oversea passport(BNO). On the passport, we are British citizens without the rights of permanent residency in U.K. But it allows visa free visiting to all EU and commonwealth nations and temporary stay. It is also easier to immigrate to Canada and Australia. The nationality is for life and can be renewed 'til death. However, it may not pass down to children.

After 1997, we were given the Hong Kong passport as self governed territories of China. According to the passport, we are Chinese citizen without the right to reside in China. If we want to visit China, we must apply for visa(a special ID card). The nationality is also for life and can't be passed down to children.

I believe the same thing happens in Macau. But they were Portuguese. They are on the left side of Hong Kong and now also a part of China.

Hong Kong uses birthright citizenship and allows you to have multiple citizenships.I wasn't surprised that some of my friends hold the British, HK and US passports.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

**Passports of Macau, it has Portuguese on it. It is their official language.

The only difference is that their children are also Portuguese citizen.

Wow, As I mentioned... what a scam. I guess it is nice to be able to travel.

I thankfully have a Mexican passport and according to the Schengen agreement, I do not need anything else to travel through the 26 European countries.

Until 1994 I think we could travel to Canada too, but that stopped, now we require a visa.


Unfortunately I am fucking stuck in the fucking United States of America and cannot travel

I was able to travel to Canada with my Hong Kong passport without any problem. This should give people hint on how I entered U.S. lol

I remember how people stayed in line for days to obtain a British passport right before the handover on 1997.
