So, I’ve been thinking about getting a Malvinas passport. Sounds cool, right? I started looking into it a while ago, and let me tell you, it’s a whole process. First off, I did some digging online to see what the deal is with this whole “buying a passport” thing. Turns out, it’s a real thing! People do it for all sorts of reasons, like having an easier time traveling or just wanting that extra citizenship.
I found out that getting a passport for the Malvinas (Falkland Islands, whatever you want to call them) is possible, but it’s not like buying a candy bar. You gotta have some serious cash, for starters. I mean, we’re not talking pocket change here. And it’s not just about the money, you also have to go through this whole application process.
Here’s what I did:

- Looked up the requirements: Turns out, you need a passport that’s good for as long as you’re planning to stay in the Malvinas. My current one was about to expire, so I had to get that renewed first.
- Checked the processing time: They say it takes about 6-8 weeks to get a passport. That’s a long time, so I made sure to send in my application way in advance. I sent in my application using a courier,I used a courier service called Ilyang, which is supposed to be safe for sending important stuff like passports.
- Gathered all my documents: This was a pain. You need all sorts of paperwork, like proof of who you are, where you live, and why you want to become a citizen. It felt like I was writing my life story!
- Filled out the application: Oh boy, the forms. So many forms. And you have to be super careful not to mess anything up, or else they might reject your application.
- Interview: After the application I also did an interview, which was pretty nerve-wracking, the interview is all about your personal life, your travel plans, and a bunch of other stuff. They really grill you!
- Money stuff: They use the same money as the UK in the Malvinas, but US dollars are cool too. And credit cards are becoming more popular, which is good.
After jumping through all these hoops, I finally got approved! It took forever, but now I’m officially a Malvinas passport holder. Was it worth it? I don’t know yet, but it’s definitely an interesting experience. I’ll keep you guys updated on how it goes using this new passport.
Anyway, that’s my story about getting a Malvinas passport. It’s not for everyone, but if you’re really thinking about it, be prepared for a long and complicated process. And make sure you have a lot of money saved up! Oh, and learn some basic stuff about the place, like their currency and visa stuff. You don’t wanna look like a total newbie when you get there.
Final Thoughts
This whole passport thing was way more work than I expected. But hey, now I have a second passport, which is kinda cool. We’ll see if it actually makes my life any easier. Stay tuned for more adventures!
