[edit] Maldives

Does Maldives accept Israel?


--> I received the following answer on 12/2006:

(...) no problem. You can enter Maldives without any visa. You will only need a valid passport.

[edit] Turkey

its a secular not Muslim country —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Boils (talk • contribs) 22:49, 21 December 2006 (UTC).

Good point. Are all the countries we describe as Muslim are officially such? What makes a country Muslim, majority of population, membership in an international Muslim organization (OIC?), or sharia? I think the entire list "Muslim countries that do accept Israeli passports" has to be removed. ←Humus sapiens ну? 00:04, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Saudi Arabia

As far as I know they won't let you in if you have an Israeli stamp in your passport. Can anyone verify this?

Also, how do Arab Israeli's perform Haj? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cape fox (talk • contribs) 20:58, 1 February 2007 (UTC).

There is a special Egyptian-Israeli-Jordanian agreement reached after the Sadat's visit to Israel, according to which Israeli Muslims can get temporary Jordanian passports for the purpose of performing the Hajj. DrorK 12:05, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Passport's function compromised?

Moving this to talk: Some nations will void old passports and reissue new passports to their nationals based on the presence of evidence of a visit to Israel, recognising the passport's function is compromised.[citation needed] - Is there a source for this? ←Humus sapiens ну? 21:02, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Iran

There must be some truth to the claim that Iran won't allow visitors with Israeli stamps in their passports, since even reliable sources like the Lonely Planet guide say so. However, I went there last year with lots of Israeli stamps and even draw the attention of the Iranian embassy folks to the stamps first to check if it was ok. They said "no problem" and there wasn't. Go figure. --Zerotalk 13:30, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

I also heard that it's ok to travel to Iran with a stamp and also Israeli passport. Lots of Iranian Jews travel to Iran with an Israeli passport. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.138.71.6 (talk) 17:21, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] North Korea

I've heard that North Korea does not accept Israeli passports, either. Should this be on the list? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.149.139.121 (talk) 16:04, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] photographer's name

There are no photos on Wikipedia that cite the photographer's name on the page itself. Personally, I would remove half the photos on this page. To me, it looks like someone wants to make life easier for forgers.--Gilabrand 06:48, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

I've removed my user name from the photo caption. Personally, I cannot see why anyone would seek to forge an old style Israeli passport. And it is easy enough to but a real current style passport (eg on eBay) if one wanted to try to forge one.Edwardx 08:39, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
You have a point, but considering that Wikipedia is the first source that comes up nowadays on Google, and the fact that not all forgers are sophisticated, I thought there might be just a bit too much detail and technical information on this page. And by the way, I am not the paranoid type...About the photo credit, theoretically it's fine, and I wouldn't mind getting credit either, for the large number of photos I have uploaded. I just saw that photographer credits don't appear on any other pages. I know for a fact that if I tried to put my name on the Jerusalem page, for instance, it would be gone in a jiffy.--Gilabrand 09:01, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Israel passport 1959.jpg

Image:Israel passport 1959.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] "Orange" Travel document

I have Changed: "orange" travel document... to "Blue", Since this is the new color of the "travel document" or "Teudat Ma'avar" (תעודת מעבר).--Elias19 (talk) 17:41, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Countries that don't accept Passport with Israeli stamps

The Canadian travelers' guide brought as a reference says Canadian citizens have been denied entrance to Saudi Arabia for having Israeli stamps in their passport. However, this is not necessarily the case today, as the travelers' guide doesn't cite an official Saudi guide, but merely state what happened in the past. The attitude towards Israel in many Arab countries was much more antagonistic in the past than today. DrorK (talk) 23:02, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

I have yet to see evidenence of a single person being issued a Saudi visa with an Iraeli stamp in their passports. While relations may have improved, the law regarding Israeli passport stamps has not changed in these countries and Saudi authorities (especially) are keen to jump at any chance not to let a person into their country. Passportguy (talk) 11:28, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
What about Kuweit and Qatar? Again, I'm not surprised to learn that these countries used to deny entrance from people who have been to Israel, but I am surprised to learn that they still do it today. DrorK (talk) 20:04, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
The problem with all of these countries is that they have barred people in the past and have not stated that they have changed their official policy. While IMHO you probably can get by arriving in Qatar with an Israeli passport stamp or two, they could still turn you back on that alone if they happen to be in a bad mood. The only countries that have officially stated that they have discontinued the policy of baring people with Israeli passport stamps are Bahrain, the UAE and Oman.
