Using an auto-ethnographic approach, this project explores the complexities of traveling with a Pakistani passport in a world shaped by passport hierarchies and unequal systems of international trust. Rather than viewing borders as distant political structures, I center the human experience of mobility, examining the emotional labor inherent in border crossings, the persistent anxiety of the visa application process, and the constant necessity of performing legitimacy to get acceptance. By analyzing the scrutiny embedded in immigration systems and the conditional nature of global movement, this research contributes to critical conversations on global inequality and the politics of identity.
