If you lose your passpost and have to get a new one, I'm assuming that you would receive a blank passport, right? For example, if I had lived 3 years in Iraq, but if my passport didn't show any Iraq stamps, then my employer would not know that I had lived in Iraq previously in my life. I'm sure they can get onto some airport or government computer and find out that information, but that is not very likely to happen. If I show a blank passport, unless I tell them otherwise, my employers will presume that I haven't traveled anywhere else in the world, right?

*Don't read too much into the story I presented as it is hypothetical.

No one in Korea is going to care where you've been anyway, so long as you haven't been to North Korea.

i have have to agree, unless you are going to lebanon with a bunch of israel stamps you shouldn't have problems.

Getting a 'clean' new passport is an old trick (used to travel from Israel to some Arab countries).

Your new passport won't show where you've been. Hint: Keep your old one, you may need it's stamps to show your govt. home tax dept. you were working in another country (if they have reciprocal tax agreements with your country). If you can't prove you were working in a reciprocal tax country, you may be taxed on a hypothetical overseas iincome when your tax dept doesn't believe you had a 10 year vacation (happened to me).

When you get a new passport, you have to get your old E2 or other visa put into your new passport (fee required).

Good luck 007.

My passport says "This passport replaces lost/stolen passport" on my amendment page which is the last page of my passport.
