Does Stamping An Eu Passport Impose Conditions On The Holder?
I entered France on a UK passport and asked the border police to stamp my passport. My reasoning was that I would have liked to have proof of when I first came to France. The stamp is just an F surrounded by stars and an arrow from left to right. The date is indicated as 04.01.06 and the airport of arrival - Toulouse, Blagnac. I have been working here since then, pay taxes have social security, etc. I really can't believe that that little stamp puts any restrictions on me. I have since left and entered many times and the passport is read electronically on leaving without fail, but often just waved through on arrival.
