I'm running out of pages in my passport. Can I remove the China visa sticker in my passport?
No, you should not remove the China visa sticker (or any visa sticker) from your passport. Here’s why:
Why You Shouldn't Remove a Visa Sticker
- Tampering Risks: Removing a visa sticker can be seen as tampering with an official document, which could:
- Invalidate your passport
- Raise suspicion during immigration checks
Lead to denial of entry or even bans in some countries
Residue and Damage: Visa stickers are designed to be permanent. Attempting to remove one can leave adhesive residue or damage the passport page, making it unreadable or unusable.
- Legal Implications: Altering or defacing a passport in any way may violate local or international travel regulations and laws.
