Man, applying for a passport online is such a trip. I just went through the whole process for a Western Sahara passport, and let me tell you, it was a wild ride.
First, I started with some serious Googling. I mean, who even knew you could apply for a passport online? Turns out, for Western Sahara, it’s totally doable. I found out that citizens of like 69 countries can visit Western Sahara for up to 90 days without a visa. But I wasn’t one of them, so a passport it is. Also, I discovered that the regular sticker visa process was much more complicated. So I decided to apply an e-visa online.
The process is pretty straightforward, I filled out some online forms, answered two questions, and boom, I knew a passport was a must-have for me. I gathered all my documents, scanned them, and uploaded everything.
- Typed in all my info—name, address, the usual.
- Uploaded a photo of myself. Gotta make sure it’s a good one, you know?
- Provided some details about my travel plans.
After filling everything out, I double-checked all the information. I paid the fee. It wasn’t too bad, honestly. And then, the waiting game began. I kept refreshing my email like a crazy person, hoping to see that approval come through.
Finally, the email arrived! Approved! I did a little happy dance, I won’t lie. Now, I have a digital copy of my passport, and I’m told that I could use this e-visa to visit Burkinabe, Ivorian, Beninese, Togolese.
What I Learned
Honestly, the whole online application thing is a game-changer. No need to go to an embassy or deal with a bunch of paperwork. This e-visa is much easier than regular sticker visa. It’s all digital and pretty user-friendly. Plus, it’s faster than the old-school way. If you’re planning a trip to Western Sahara and need a passport, definitely check out the online application. It’s worth it!
So yeah, that’s my story of getting a Western Sahara passport online. It was an experience, but I made it through. Now, I’m all set for my next adventure! Wish me luck!
