How many blank passport pages do I need?
Simple answer
Enough clean visa pages for any sticker or stamp the destination (and any transit country) may need. The exact number is not universal.
What it means
Some visas are fully electronic and need no sticker; others still need a physical page. Entry/exit stamps can also use pages. A “full” passport can block boarding even when your visa is approved.
What you may need to do
Check whether your product is e-visa / e-pass only or may need a vignette. Leave buffer pages for stamps. Renew early if pages are nearly full.
Country / visa warning
Do not rely on a single “two blank pages” rumour for every country. Confirm for your itinerary.
Next action
Review your route notes for sticker vs electronic issue, and check passport condition before you travel.
