Mr. Zhang, a traveler from Hebei who has visited over 20 countries including France, Italy, and Switzerland, recently found himself in a "horror-movie-like" situation. While working a part-time job at a slaughterhouse in Australia under a Working Holiday Visa, his most essential document was severely damaged.
The "Bloody" Incident
The incident occurred on Mr. Zhang's first day of work. Because he had not yet been assigned a personal locker, he kept his phone and passport in his pocket while he worked. His task involved cleaning freshly slaughtered beef with water.
Then the blood-mixed water splashed everywhere. Mr. Zhang recalled, "I wore the raincoat-like protective clothing issued by the company that day, but it basically didn't block anything." By the end of his shift, he discovered his passport had been heavily soaked and stained by the blood.
The photos he posted online quickly went viral, with netizens joking that "Border inspection will break into a cold sweat upon seeing this" and "Even a thief would quietly sneak it back" if they saw the macabre-looking document.

Can a Damaged Passport Still Be Used?
For Mr. Zhang, the situation is a major headache. While he holds electronic visas for Australia and New Zealand, his physical UK and Schengen visas are in the stained passport. Replacing the passport might mean having to re-apply for those visas.
Authorities from the Exit-Entry Administration stated that while the final decision to allow entry rests with local border inspection officers, they strongly recommend applying for a replacement for safety.
