U.S. Phasing Out Extra Visa Pages For Passports

The U.S. State Department will stop adding visa pages to U.S. passports Jan. 1, to “enhance the security of the passport and to abide by international passport standards.” Travelers who run out of pages for exit and entry stamps will have to apply for a new passport by mail. Those applying within the United States may opt for either a 28-page or 52-page book at the same cost. The department began issuing 52-page books to all applicants outside the United States last year.
