> Other tricks are taxes when you are leaving the country (buy a stamp so that you can board a plane)

What is this about? Genuinely curious. (Indian, and I haven't heard of this before.)

Basically you buy a stamp before being able to travel.

No a stamp. A real stamp that you show to the immigration officer. And you have to buy a new one every time you travel.

Again, this is the first I'm hearing of this. Do you have a link that explains this?
