Gentlemen,

I would very much like to avoid getting my passport stamped as I pass in and out of CR. You can probably guess the reason why...a passport stamp is the only irrefutable evidence that I was there. And there are "certain individuals" who I don't want to know that I was in CR. (The "I went deep sea fishing" story won't work in this case...it would definitely be "major naughty" if I was discovered to have been in CR at all during this particular time period.)

I'm sure this has come up before...do you all have any ideas for how to either avoid getting a stamp in the first place, or somehow hide the stamp if I have to get it? (And no, I definitely don't want to do anything illegal.)

The only strategy I can think of is to immediately renew my passport by mail as soon as I return home. (But that will have to happen fast...I'm due to leave on another international vacation two weeks after I return from CR. So I'll have to pay for a "rush" renewal, or I might be screwed.)

Is this the best way to go, or can you think of a better strategy?

Thanks!

just get another passport now and leave the old one out for inspection. Keep your new one somewhere else

I would really ask myself is it worth it. If you are afraid of getting caught then you should maybe reconsider going.

The things we do for p*ssy. No, I have no solution. I have wondered it myself.

Don't even think about altering, modifying or erasing anything in your passport. You'll be phucked if you try to change something.

Good luck with this one...

Instead of renewing your passport, just request a second one.

Anyone can request a second passport for security purposes (for visits to Israel and anti Israeli States), or if you travel so frequently, due to time constraints there is difficulty acquiring travel visas between trips.

They charge you for the service and the second passport is only good for two years (although extendable at expiration if necessary). The second passports are issued at the State Department's discretion, usually due to one of the above circumstances:

So throw in trips to Syria and Israel and you are golden. Actually it sounds like your two trips within two weeks of each other may satisfy the "time constraints" circumstances.

Good luck! Let us know what happens.

Easy,

Fly into Panama City then go to David, Panama and take a taxi to the Costa Rica border in Paso Canoas..

here you can walk into many stores in Panama and exit the same store in Costa Rica

voila!

now take a cab to Golfito airport ,45 minutes and fly to Pavas (San Jose) via Nature Air, who is having a sale right now for less than $50 one way

PS, I would not screw around with multiple passports or in any way try to beat the system in this manner

this is an edit ...the above is a BAD idea because I forgot that there are immigration agents in the Pavas airport who could be checking your passport...without an entry stamp you would be in BIG trouble

Wouldn't it be simpler to just get a divorce?

Yep. Then again, what do us single guys who monger without worries know.

Try and get another passport, besides the one mentioned above by senordos here is another.

Where one of both of you parents born outside the US? If so you are probably entitled to a passport from that country. He or she does not need to be alive you just need the correct paperwork. This is how I got my second passport it’s from Argentina even though my mother immigrated to the US in 1930.

In some cases a Grandparent born overseas is enough. I worked with a guy many years ago who had an Italian passport and so did his father but it was the grandfather who was born in Italy he told me the Italian laws were as long as he father had one he could get one.

It’s going to take a little work but it may be worthwhile for you.

Good Luck
