Well fuk. I just washed my passport and I have a flight tomorrow.

Right, so anyone got some bright ideas on how to dry an Irish passport? I'm open to anything here.. I don't just need the front fixed, I need the Visa pages back aswell.

It's a ridiculously important Visa journey.

MungBean

Set it on fire, dry it out in no length.

KeithM89_old

Put it back in the washing machine but on a higher temperature.

MagicSean

Contact the passpprt office and ask about an emergency passport

SunnyDub1

hairdryer

I'm sure either way it will dry out by tomorrow.

IM0

thats not what they mean when they say money laundering

xzanti

Hot foot it to the Passport Office with the offending item..

They are sure to sort something out for you.. are you in Dublin?

davet82

needs air, hop in your car and hang out the window with it your hand, garda style (see todays herald)

good luck

Don't put it on the radiator, it will crinkle and wreck it..happened to a friend and they were reluctant to let her on a European flight with it. Id stick it in the hotpress for at least 6 hours and see if its helping. Try not to use direct forms of heat like radiators or hairdryers.

Cancel the flight. They will not let you fly with this passport.

Just pour a bucket of water over your head for the authentic wet-look version.

Passport office is your only option so get to it.

counterlock

What kind of washing powder was it? Did you use fabric softner?

Need more info OP

mconigol

Good idea!

A clean passport will draw less attention to your chequered past.

Edit: If you really need to undo the damage put it back in the washing machine but wire it up to run in reverse. The reverse rotation will alter the space time flow within the cylinder thereby restoring your passport from an earlier time. You'll also get your dirty clothes from a few hours ago back though.

Brendog

change country of origin to "Atlantis". shouldn't be a bother.

IM0

you could try blowing on it

Keith186

Done that before too but it was after coming home.
Youre fooked!

frozenfrozen

put it in a bag of rice in the hot press. but really just try get a replacement as soon as you can!

FatherLen

leave it under the fridge for about 20 minutes.

MrStuffins

You washed your passport? What an idiot! :rolleyes:

Everyone knows passports are Dry Clean only!!

Right.. My location in Hanoi. I'm on an Irish passport and I'm talking about Visas. I'm definitely nowhere near a passport office. And I can't leave Vietnam without the passport and I can't stay in Vietnam without leaving to get a Visa.

I don't have a hotpress.. Being Vietnam. It's about 30 degrees here, Just leave it sit in the heat?

MarkR

If it was me, I'd place paper between each sheet, and put in in a bowl of rice in the hot press.

If you can, passport office.

44leto

Deleted User your light is still green so you are still on, GO ring passport office and if you can't get you sorted, cancel the flight, you do not have the time to stay and gossip here.

Get a move on.

This is your only option. Phone them and then get to them, they can arrange everything very quickly.

I only know how to dry a British passport.

Sorry.

Tell them you went swimming with the fishies

Is it bad?

I put mine through the washing machine and it did the job for many flights over 3 years before I was told to get it replaced.

Was getting it photocopied, came home, threw jeans in the wash for tomorrow. I'm not a smart man it would seem.

The front page with the photo is absolutely fine but my Visa is fairly manky. It's shlt cause I just got a one month extension stamp through a connection in immigration and I'd rather it didn't get scrutinized since it's completely against immigration rules right now to give them.

If I get a new passport, I have to get my Vietnamese Visa into the new one which is a seriously long process... And that's a Visa I shouldn't even have.

Fuk.

Do something pretty horrific to get you kicked out of the country?

I can only imagine the mess in here if an immigrant to Ireland came on and stated something similar.

He's still on, I am looking forward to the next series of banged up abroad, when an Irish man tried to fool Vietnamese custom officials with an obvious fake document.

Ring AIB. I'm sure they'll love to help, and will do all they can to find a way.

You son, are stuffed. (although the dates are the important bit obviously, are they unreadable?)

Stiffler2

Does it say on your Terms & Conditions that you can't use a wet passport ?
If not I'd just use it and be done with it.

Mr Benevolent

Dry it out (not closed) and hope.

stimpson

Stick a few bob in it before you hand it over to the official in the airport.

Or a note saying "Me love you longtime". Wear lipstick.

Lustrum

Make a pot of coffee, then drink it, and start making burgers.

It probably won't help but you shouldn't go hungry worrying about it!

ejmaztec

Is it too early to call Chuck Norris?

CardBordWindow

Did you try turning it off and on again?
