Walkthrough

1
Starting on Day Three, any foreigner (anyone except Arstotzkans) requires a valid entry ticket to enter.
2
When a passport is handed to you, check if a valid entry ticket is present underneath it. This applies to any other papers presented in the future.
3
An entry ticket is valid only if the date on it exactly matches the current date, which is November 25th, 1982, on Day Three.
4
When approving or denying entry, ensure you return both the passport and the entry ticket to the applicant.
5
If an applicant is missing an entry ticket, you can point out the rule in the rulebook requiring foreigners to have one and link it to the table to highlight the discrepancy. Alternatively, you can reject the applicant immediately, which is faster as many will be missing tickets.

Tips

Any time you are handed an advertisement for The Pink Vice, the person presenting it always has their paperwork in order and can be approved immediately.
Always check for spelling errors in the issuing city or district on documents. If there is a spelling error (e.g., 'Oater Grouse' or 'Outer Grousa' instead of 'Outer Grouse' in Antegria), the document is invalid.
You do not need to point out discrepancies in a person's documents (at least for now). If an error exists on a passport, you can deny entry to Arstotzka immediately without entering Inspection mode.
You can pause the game by pressing the Exit button or by making sure the game window for "Papers, Please" is not the active window. This allows you to verify if the issuing city belongs to the correct country or if a district in Arstotzka actually exists.
"Papers, Please" sprites can sometimes be unclear, making males appear as females and vice versa. If you are unsure of someone's gender, use Inspection mode to link the person to the gender stated on their passport. A 'Matching Data' prognosis confirms the gender is correct.
