Passport found in 2003

In 2003, the Tibetan passport of Shakabpa was discovered in Nepal. Issued by the 13th Dalai Lama to Tibet's finance minister Shakabpa for foreign travel, the passport was a single piece of pink paper, complete with photograph, and had visas issued by many countries, including Britain. It has a message in typed English and hand-written Tibetan, similar to the message by the nominal issuing officers of today's passports. There is no Chinese on the passport, but two stamps could be official Chinese seals, or they could be Chinese entry stamps.
