For the past month I have walked past a Home Affairs Office (Passport and Identity Centre) every day – on my way to the school I have been studying Spanish at. Every day without fail there is a queue of people waiting to get inside the building – either to collect or obtain their official documentation. When I am leaving in the afternoon the queue has disappeared and the people have probably left with their prized documents. So what are the prized documents ? A little red book which has the most amazing advantages. I thought about it. What does the EU passport offer the beholder ? Why do so many people want EU passports ?

| Join the queue for your little red book |
The coveted little EU passport grants you many things. Freedom to travel the world and be welcomed into almost every country on the planet. It entitles you to a whole bunch of high quality services for free or little cost – education, health, safety, welfare and more. It allows you to live and work in all of the countries in the European Union. It affords the holder many more options, opportunities and privileges than people in other places have! Therefore the prized EU passport is a coveted possession. Why then do I see what looks like every Tom, Dick and Harry waiting in the line outside the Home Affairs Office to collect the coveted little red book? Shouldn't it be hard to obtain such a thing ? I took a closer look at the tariffs for the documents which that office issues. A measly 25 Euros to get your Spanish passport and 10.20 to get your DNI (document of national identity). Cheap prices for such coveted items! I think I will join the queue and get mine one day soon...
