My new passport arrived today. Nobody can convince me that’s blue. I actually found it depressing when my new black/blue passport arrived, it was well after we lost the vote so I should have been over it and I obviously knew I wasn't getting a burgundy one but it still pissed me off. Just wait until you start having it stamped every single time you enter/leave Spain.

It is a bit grim. Doesn’t seem as well made as my old one either. I’ve also got His Majesty bit in the front which feels strange. Also the artwork is a lot bleaker. I know I’m being picky about an official document, but my old passport is quite uplifting by comparison. I don’t think even Nigel Farage would be fooled by a post-Brexit passport where the artwork is all rainbows and unicorns. Pictures of blocked lavatories and vermin-infested wheelie bins might have been more appropriate metaphors, though.

I didn't have it stamped going in or out of Argentina which i did twice but i got it stamped both ways at Madrid. It makes no difference whether I show my Tarjeta de Residencia at all. My Passport still gets a stamp.

I show my tarjeta and my passport so they have to see two photos of me and they just hurry me along but seriously they shouldn't be stamping malc, if he goes from Spain to Germany for example they could say he's exceeded his 90 days, I know he could explain it but it's needless hassle.

The PAF forgot to stamp my youngest's passport when entering France at the Euro Tunnel, it was interesting explaining it to the PAF when leaving from Ouistreham ... and Border Force asked us a few more questions as well. I'd say get it stamped! 🤣

At Almería, Murcia and Madrid I've had my UK Passport stamped every time I've left or returned to Spain going to and coming from a non EU country whether I've shown my Tarjeta de Residencia or not.
And I know it's not just me. All of the lads I play football with who are residents are having their Passports stamped upon their exit from and return to Spain. They do however always stamp the same page 4 times, the maximum number of stamps that will fit on one page.

Mine was stamped last year, now I show them my card first and the first couple of times I told them not to stamp it, I don't want to visit the inlaws in Denmark and be told I've overstayed in Schengen.
