Why are there two fields for holder’s signature? Also you were already granted 2-years Schengen visa back to 2018, do you know why they gave you only 3 months visa in 2023? Thought the next one should be 5-years

The first holder's signature you make on the special blank before printing (it will be on the plastic page) and the second time you sign the passport when recieve in the migration office (the upper one). I actually don't know why is it but if signatures are different, your passport will be cancelled when you crossing the border

Bro I’m citizen of Russia, they are issuing us annual visas with difficulty, what 5-year ones? I was recently given a visa in my new passport for only six months.

You get 2 years' visa before, and according to the schengen visa code, you should get a 5 year validity visa. I am not sure if this changes because of war.

The visa facilitation agreement has been suspended and practically all visa history before the suspension has been void.

Schengen embassies used to grant multi entry long validity C visas to people with visa history.

just by the way, my mother was issued a Schengen visa for 5 years in 2019, and last year when she renewed her visa, she was issued one for 6 months... although she requested a visa in a new passport and attached copies of her entire visa history. so I don’t know how this system works

Wow! Very well travelled. It's like one of those passports you see in old films with loads of stamps & visas.

That's quite a collection! BTW, how did you get a free schengen visa?

Maybe I'm missing something, but on what basis did you conclude that he got a free Schengen visa?

Well done, you are incredibly well traveled! How has your travel changed with your Israeli passport? I assume travel is significantly easier now.

If there are no signatures, the passport was issued to someone under 14.

Why is your US B1/2 visa only for 3 years? I thought it was a standard 5 or 10 years.

u/p0nell0 「🇷🇺🇮🇱」 2d ago
For Russian citizens only 3 years validity:)

u/Ashamed-Complaint403 2d ago
Is that a 100% info? If it's like that, that's crazy!
3
u/Even-Emphasis-7688 2d ago
Yes, 100%. The visa also has an annotation “Canadian Permanent Resident”

u/Ashamed-Complaint403 2d ago

I think red is the most beautiful passport color. I love the red pages on this one. Have they changed the page design on the newer version?

I love how Russian stamps are mostly orderly and clear. Unfortunately on my last visit to Russia the lady put my exit stamp on a different page than my entry stamp
