Stamping passport

If you offer them a bribe they may stamp your passport or throw you in jail.

You don't need to pay (or offer money) to get your passport stamped, you just have to ask.

I wasn't planning to offer a bribe, just ask the question.
Thought it would be nice to have.
Being a non-American, travelling to Cuba isn't an issue in my home country.

My passport was up for renewal and had many extended pages and so I asked them to stamp my US passport and they did towards the back. After renewal they send it back to you with a hole in it, but I still have all my travel memorabilia stamps including Cuba. I know it was a silly move, but really......

I have entered the US many times with two Cuba stamps in my Canadian passport. No problema. The Immigration agents simply flip through your passport and don't read every stamp. However, where Smilecu has a point is if, for some other reason, or if you are the unlucky # 7 in the line, you are questioned about something else, or a name similar to yours is on the no-fly list, then having that stamp is going to "strengthen their case" for not letting you enter their wonderful country.

"Being a non-american, going to Cuba is not an issue in my country." What you don't realize
is the government of the USA(the American Empire) believe they rule the world by fear, intimidation
military occupations and unilateral legal authority. They believe they, and they alone, have the extra-territorial legal power to pass laws and regulations controlling everyone on the planet. If you want to
travel to Cuba, avoid the USA and certainly do not demand the Cubans stamp your passport for
whatever silly reasons you may have for collecting passport stamps.

One very distinct advantage I have is that I am a citizen of two countries and I'm not using my primary passport for Cuba.
So the passport I use to enter and leave the United States is not the same.

Hi,
In Dec 2004, when I was returning to Canada from Cuba, the Cuban customs offered me the stamp on a piece of paper. Since my passport was about to expire -- and I did not foresee going across the line to the USA anytime soon -- I asked for the stamp inside the passport instead. The customs official was reluctant, but complied. It is nice to have that 'souvenir'.

#5, why so angry?? The US does not control everyone as it pertains to Cuba, only those that fall under its legal jurisdiction. Many countries like Cuba control all aspect of their citizens lives by force. The US only controls financial aspects of spending US earned money in Cuba, Iran, and Sudan. So you have a clear choice, if you are not American and want to go to these countries you are free to go as you wish. If you are legally living in the US then the same rules apply to you as do all others under US jurisdiction (in the USA). The solution is simple, stay away from the USA and you are free to travel to Iran, Sudan and Cuba and spend as much money as you wish without a problem.
