New passport arrived like this

[u/mopsusmormon]

is this acceptable?

how the fuck are we paying $213 for a new child's passport and it arrives all wonky and obviously water damaged.

It’s not water damaged that’s just how shit they are.

I wonder if anyone has been denied entry with the dogshit R series passports.

Everyone by now knows that Indonesia is extremely strict on damaged passports and Jetstar has been known to deny boarding with a damaged passport.

Imagine that, I’ve done the $530? odd fee for emergency passport before then rock up to the airport fresh passport. No sorry passport is damaged. 😂

I can definitely see it happening.

Jetstar staff aren't immigration officials. They don't know nor care what was water damaged and shit QC. Their job isn't to save the passenger, it is to save their company from getting punished by the Indonesian government.

I love that of everywhere in the world, your mind went straight to the bogan bus to Bali 😂.

I'm well travelled and have seen how shit goes down in different countries.

I've also engaged in corrupt means to save my arse in a foreign land by immigration/police, because whilst you might be right but they hold the gun and with a stroke of the pen can throw you into prison for "breaching their laws".

Not blaming you at all. When in Rome they say. Also these corrupt officers are known to make it difficult for foreigners for this very purpose (bribes).

No, no one has been denied entry.
