Damaged Japanese Passport (Travel Oversea Possible?)?
Posted on July 31st, 2011 by admin
Here’s the problem.
I have a travel plan to Hong Kong next week. One part of my Japanese passport is damaged.
It is the red leather cover first page part where the top right corner is ripped off. Everything else the passport photo, IC card, passport number are intact.
Is it possible to still travel to Hong Kong… and if possible, is it even possible to return back to Japan ?
Check with the nearest Japanese embassy/consulate.
Some countries (such as France, US) issue their citizens abroad emergency passports within 24 hours that allow them to travel abroad for several months and/or return to their home country.
You may be able to obtain such emergency passport from your consulate.
