This is a really interesting video, especially since most people (passport gurus excluded) are only familiar with their own passport (usually only one).
Tbf I think especially now for Russians and Belarusians now this a big pain even if they hold another passport like the British one if the passport says born in Minsk or Moscow they will have problems getting a visa
Lucky for me a Japanese passport does not have place of birth on it so I could be born in any country in the world and no other country or bank would know.
how does nationality work? if i get canadian citizenship i will lose my indian citizenship since they don't allow dual citizenship. So after getting a canadian passport will my nationality become canadian?
@@robinwalia5361 you can apply for the OCI to enter India without a visa. It's a pesudo-citizenship but not necessarily full citizenship. You need a passport + the OCI card to enter India to make it effective.
I'm being super pedantic here but Canada Isnt a VWP country. What you said still obviously applies to VWP passports that allow you to remove your place of birth, you're right there.
@@matthewsmith908 yeah, Canada is an exception. They allow Iranian Canadians to enter regardless, while they don't allow Iranians that became German citizens to use the VWP! Like, Iranians that settled and got German citizenship needed to apply for a visa to enter the US if they still hold Iranian citizenship!
I think the countries that doesn’t show the birthplace is cause immigration there is super difficult, so it wouldn’t matter as much Some have said one’s birthplace is shown to add better identity security for the individual, but idk. There are enough countries where they will make a fuss about why the place of brith has been left blank on a passport. So while e.g Japanese passport doesn’t have it and yet are a powerful passport? Border security prob won’t care cause it was never an option in the first place With a Canadian passport however, it is an option and I doubt where it says “place of birth” would also be removed, it would just be there but unanswered
I think racial identifier can be useful in some cases. For example, in solving a crimes. If you want the public to assist in solving crimes committed by a person of purple hue, you don't omit the biggest identifier...that he is of a purple hue. Sorry, no offence to people of purple hue.

Glad to know you enjoyed it!
Place of Birth is a huge source of discrimination at some ports of entry.
Yes
This is the only channel talking about this, excellent job.
Thank you!
Yes
Good tip. I knew that this option existed, but I never thought about using it. I'll use it next renewal, which is pretty soon.
You are the best of the best…as usually:)

Some of my passports just say USSR.

Well you'd need to be Canadian first before getting a Canadian passport. But if you hold a Canadian passport then, yes, you'd Canadian.
@@matthewsmith908 yeah, it was sort of implied. My Nationality would then change after becoming a Canadian with no other citizenship?
@@robinwalia5361 yea, you'd be Canadian. If you were able to keep your Indian citizenship then you'd be Canadian and Indian.

@@robinwalia5361 get the Canadian one it’s better
I have mistake about my place of birth I don't know if I can travel with it?
Lithuanian passports just mention the country. In my case it's LIETUVA.
Yes, very interesting
Serbian states both city and country you were born in, so if you were born in Belgrade it says , Beograd, Republika Srbija
interesting, good to know
Probably, since, example, if you're born in Iran, you can't go to the US without a visa despite your country being a VWP country.

You can write down your birthplace from your new Korean passport.
For example, if the birthplace is Yongin city, Gyeonggi province, the birthplace is written as gyonggi-do yongin-si on the passport.
I think the countries that doesn’t show the birthplace is cause immigration there is super difficult, so it wouldn’t matter as much
