Drove from Albania to Dubrovnick then to Bosnia (no stamp) drove from there to Podgorica, Saw Serbia sign, no border bldgs. Does Kosovo or Macedonia have stamps anymore?
I used to get UK stamps in my passport on every trip, but when the government opened the e-gates at Heathrow to nationalities other than Brits and Europeans in 2019, that obviously stopped for me. I liked getting the stamps as a souvenir but the e-gate queues were so much quicker than the regular lanes they were light years ahead.
On a trip to Europe last month, was stamped in at AMS and out at Calais (ferry crossing to UK) but not stamped in by UK Border staff. In my experience French border staff are always surprised to encounter an "Anglo" speaking to them in French!
