Visa free travel

China : Visa free travel is permitted for 6 days only for groups who have pre-arranged papers submitted to Chiense authorities. Travel is only permitted through cdertain border corssings and within Guangdong province. As this is a very special case is should not be listed in a list of general visa-free travel countries.
Morocco: Initial stay of a maximum of 3 months, the fact that stays can be extended (which is possible in many countreis9; does not change the fact the the standard maximum stay is 3 months
Albania : A pre-issued visa is required. The fact that the actual visa is stamped in the passport at the border does not make it a visa-on-arrival. Otherwise countries such as Libya would suddenly be supposedly visa-free. Passportguy (talk) 13:29, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On SIRB

Seafarers Identification and Record Book (SIRB) is not a passport in itself. As per ILO C185 - Seafarers' Identity Documents Convention (Revised), 2003 (No. 185) for which the Philippines is a signatory:

Article 3: 5. The seafarers' identity document shall contain the name of the issuing authority, indications enabling rapid contact with that authority, the date and place of issue of the document, and the following statements: (a) this document is a seafarers' identity document for the purpose of the Seafarers' Identity Documents Convention (Revised), 2003, of the International Labour Organization; and (b) this document is a stand-alone document and not a passport.

Article 6: 7. Each Member for which this Convention is in force shall, in the shortest possible time, also permit the entry into its territory of seafarers holding a valid seafarers' identity document supplemented by a passport, when entry is requested for the purpose of: (a) joining their ship or transferring to another ship; (b) passing in transit to join their ship in another country or for repatriation; or any other purpose approved by the authorities of the Member concerned.
