    Immigration issues

    gentlemen, can anyone tell me please if my european passport will be stamped? on either or both of arrival or departure? I had the idea that I had to present, and later, on departure hand in this blue tourist card without deflourishing my stamp-free passport?

    problem is that IŽll be in trouble if my cuban wife encounters a dominican stamp in my passport.

    next question: does anyone know of direct flights from pop to santiago de cuba? I know that aero-carribean does santo domingo to santiago de cuba, but only mondays and fridays but I was fancying hopping-in and hopping-out the very next day.
    thanks, guys

    When you can think of yesterday without regret and tomorrow without fear, you are near contentment.
    Your opinions are not my problem...

    there's a thread somewhere, either here or on www.dr1.com/forums about that.

    i had a quick look but don't see it however i think the flights are santo domingo to havana for about $450USD return.

    i wish there was a way around passport stamps. This mandatory passport stuff has thrown a wrench in many peoples plans. I remember the 007 days

    Re: Immigration issues

    i told the immigration guy not to stamp my passport and he didn't. but he did ask why and i said cause the wife checks it.he laughed and let me thru.

    on the way out i remembered that we don't ( from canada) need a passport to enter or leave just a photo id so i just handed the lady my drivers liscence and away i went.
    you only live once, but if you live it right once is enough

    I asked the customs agent and he had no idea why.

    good point except it makes them more money when we run outa spaces to stamp. it should be just valid for 10 years no matter how many trips you make.
