The Bosnia and Herzegovina stamp
Every country in Globestamp has its own stamp, drawn after a real entry stamp. Its finish shows how few travelers get there. Bosnia and Herzegovina’s is Hologram: cracked ice, a mosaic of small mirrors, the finish for places with 500,000 to 2 million visitors a year. With 1.2 million international arrivals in 2019, Bosnia and Herzegovina is rarer than 64% of the 199 places with figures.

What counts as a visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina
The common rule among travelers is that you set foot there: an airport layover usually doesn’t count, and a port where you went ashore does. Globestamp counts Bosnia and Herzegovina when one of your photos was taken on its ground, or just off its coast; a photo taken from a plane never counts. Photos only at an airport make a transit stamp in lighter ink, counted only if you count layovers. Read more in how to count the countries you’ve visited.
