So, I heard about this Malvinas passport thing and got curious. I decided to give it a shot and see what the fuss was all about. I’ve never done anything like this before, so I was pretty clueless about where to start.
First, I did a little digging online. It turns out that the Malvinas passport is the same thing as the Falkland Islands passport, and it’s issued by the Falkland Islands government. Who knew, right? I read that some folks don’t even need a visa to visit the Falkland Islands if they have a passport from certain countries.
Researching the Requirements
I went to check some pages, and I found out that I didn’t need a visa to go there. Also, I found out that if I had an Argentine passport, I wouldn’t need a visa either. It seems like they’re pretty chill about visitors. I also found some info about travel restrictions, like COVID-19 stuff and vaccination requirements, but nothing too crazy.

Here’s what I gathered:
- My passport needs to be valid for the whole time I’m there.
- I should double-check with my travel agent to make sure my passport and other documents are good to go.
- If my passport is about to expire, I should get a new one.
Starting the Process
After finding all this stuff online, I felt a bit more prepared. It seemed like the first real step was to just get the application form. I went to some website that has something to do with the Falkland Islands government, and I think I found the form, but honestly, it was a bit confusing. There were so many sections and I didn’t know what half of it meant.
Filling Out the Forms
I spent a good chunk of time filling out the application. I had to put in all my personal details, like my name, address, and birth date. There were also some weird questions about my travel history and stuff. I just answered them as best as I could. There was a section about paying the application fee, and I remember it being a bit of a hassle to figure out how to pay online.
Submitting My Application
Once I filled out the forms, I had to gather some supporting documents, and I didn’t know which ones, so I sent an email asking for this, and they responded to me like 3 days later. I had to scan my passport and some other IDs. I also needed to get a passport photo taken, which was a pain because I had to go to a special shop to get it done.
After getting everything together, I sent in my application online. It felt a bit weird just sending all my personal info into the void, but I figured it was all part of the process. I paid the application fee, which wasn’t too bad, and then it was just a waiting game.
Waiting and Waiting
I checked my email every day for updates, but there was nothing for weeks. It was super frustrating because I had no idea what was going on. I tried calling some number I found online, but no one ever picked up. Finally, after what felt like forever, I got an email saying my application was approved!
Success!
A few weeks later, a package arrived in the mail. I opened it up, and there it was – my Malvinas passport! It looked pretty official, with my photo and all my details inside. I couldn’t believe I actually went through with it and got the passport. It was a long and sometimes confusing process, but I did it! Now, I just need to figure out when I can actually go visit the Falkland Islands. It sounds like a cool place, and I’m excited to check it out someday.
