I once got a permanent residency stamp on my passport when I went to New Zealand. Didn't think anything of it. Then the next year when I went back to NZ the customs agent was like "uhhhhhhh..." and so I explained what happened and he was like "oh ok that's fine, I just couldn't see any record of you actually being a permanent resident in my computer" and gave me a tourist stamp.

I drove to the United States today to drop an (American) friend off on that side of the border so her mom could pick her up, and I could pick up a parcel that I'd had shipped there. The border agent questioned her as to how "she came to be born in France". Apparently she wasn't American enough for him. Then he didn't believe us when we said we had no food in the car. Apparently we had "too much luggage" for there to be no food at all in it.

Residency Evil posted:This got me once while I was going in to/out of Germany. I had both an EU/US passport and didn't feel like waiting in line to get a stamp in my US passport so I just walked through the EU citizen line when going in to Germany. When I was flying out they checked my US Passport for an entry stamp and couldn't find it. They asked me about it and didn't care, but warned me not to do it again. I'm sure they could have made a bigger deal of it. Why didn't you just hand them your EU passport when you were going out? I always play matchies with my EU/Canadian passports.

Saladman posted:I've never heard of an expired passport being harder to renew than a currently-valid passport. You've obviously never been a French citizen living abroad  If you have your current passport and it's not expired you literally just need the passport, a passport photo and a visit to the consulate. If you have let it expired, well congratulations you're in bureacratic hell.

Saladman posted:It looks like the system with an expired passport is still pretty easy? https://www.service-public.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/F21091 Yeah but if your passport isn't expired, literally all you need is one photo, one piece of photo ID and your current passport. Plus if your situation doesn't fit their parameters exactly perfectly, you're completely screwed. When my mom was at the consulate getting hers re-done a couple of months ago there was a guy trying to get his passport renewed from inside of France, where he was at the time. Except that apparently the entire system doesn't allow for that to happen, and I can't remember the details but apparently the guy was completely screwed and unable to get a passport until he came back to Canada, despite being in his country of birth and citizenship because LOL France.

The Angolan embassy should be able to tell you.
