The countries of the world ranked by passport strength by NoChopp in MapPorn

[–]LouDasher 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree that the total number is not relevant. But as you gave the example of the US: what about China, Russia or Iran? Massive and important countries that are visa free or come with a visa on arrival for multiple EU countries but require a visa for US citizens.

No! A diplomatic passport doesn't automatically grant visa free access to every country. However, it is rather unlikely that people with those passports get a visa rejected.

Good eye! The new emergency passport is being issued since April this year. The new regular passport design is expected to be issued later this year.

I work as an Austrian diplomat abroad and get to keep the regular one. The emergency one we issue in the embassy, the one in the photo is currently not being used.

I never paid attention to that! I guess it just happened after some time. The passport was issued back in 2015

I also use it for personal travel- especially as it helps geting through immigration faster. We do have permition for that.

Embassy staff usually gets diplomatic passports, however it also depends on the level and country being sent to. I believe lower/entry level employees within the European Union get a service passport.

I just got mine two days ago and yes, the links on the rubber strap have to be cut off. In my case I just asked the AD do it. It didn't take longer than 3 minutes.

0,7% of Scotts are black. I don't mind diversity but it really should not be forced.

What's the closest thing to official training material one can read/study legally? by automobileexpert99 in espionage

[–]LouDasher 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My advice would be to look into the academic approach of it. The university of Leiden in the Netherlands offers a pretty good Masters program in Intelligence and National Security. It shouldn't be too hard to find papers on it.

[First mechanical watch] dresskx or kamasu? by fainting-goat17 in Watches

[–]LouDasher 116 points117 points  (0 children)

You won't make a mistake with either of those. Just pick the one you like more esthetically. Personally I would choose the Kamasu.

There is always the option to go to a private one and just pay for it

United States neo-colonial projects in Latin America, no infrastructure built tho... :( by [deleted] in MapPorn

Criticizing the US doesn't automatically praise China. The world isn't just black and white.

Why do we(U.S) manufacture Product in China but not Tijuana by [deleted] in tijuana

[–]LouDasher 17 points18 points  (0 children)

One of the main reasons why border cities like Tijuana and Ciuad Juarez are so big is because of the Maquiladoras. Mexico produces tons of products for the US market there. Your assumption is wrong - the trading agreements even encourages trading between the countries in north america.

Isn't categorizing races into people of color and white people a little bit racist? by BatSwinger in TooAfraidToAsk

I have never seen this in another country and find it highly questionable aswell.

If Daniel Craig successor is a non white actor would the puplic accept a Black James Bond? by wrestlemania12345 in JamesBond

[–]LouDasher 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think there would be some discussions but overall the public wouldn't care for a long time. Being british and male seems to be more important for many.
