Which country has largest size border crossing stamp?
So far, based on personal experience Japan and Brazil have quite a large stamps. While in theory you can have six Brazil's border crossing stamp on a passport page, I think you'd have a problem putting more than four of Japan's stamps on one page.

Any country has border crossing stamp which takes more than 1/3 of a passport page?

I seem to remember a friend having a passport stamp for Ascension Island and it took up practically one entire page...

Visa on arrival in Togo is a large stamp, probably half a page, plus additional stickers.

Uruguay's stamps are larger than average. Panama's are, too.

South Africa takes up about 1/2 page. IIRC Morocco has a large stamp.

Ireland is the biggest in my passport, taking more than half a page. UAE is a little smaller.

My Panama stamp is actually quite small. A circle slightly larger than a quarter.

Walked across the border from Ghana to Togo. Visa on Arrival. You get this:


And an entry/exit stamp on the following page. The stickers on this page are the receipt proving that you paid the guy at the border for the visa.

Here's Uruguay:


Definitely larger than average.

The Irish immigration stamps in my passport are by far the largest.

The recent South African and Moroccan immigration stamps I have are all "normal" EU/Schengen sized ones.

Visa on arrival I think should be treated as a separate category, I was specifically interested at border crossing stamps.

So far, according to the information, Ireland and South Africa have border crossing stamps which are half page.

My Ireland stamp is from 2010 so things may have changed but it takes up a full half page.

I've got two types of stamps from Ireland. First visit stamp was half a page (visa waiver?). Subsequent stamps were much smaller.

IIRC, Ireland and the UAE have large stamps, if only because of the addition of the "employment prohibited" stamp.

One used to get a big 'sticker' when landing in South Africa. I went there in November again. It is now just a regular sized stamp like the USA. Thailands stamp is regular size too.
