Conflicts
Israel, subject to the Arab League boycott due to the Arab–Israeli conflict, does not stamp passports anymore. Instead, it issues ID cards to visitors. Previously, it was possible to get the stamp on a separate piece of paper.
However, similar conflicts exist between other countries. Visitors with passport stamp of such countries may have trouble to enter the other countries.
