You will arrive at Auckland, New Zealand which also marks the beginning of your journey, after your treatment you can go back to Pitcairn but you can also get on a boat and travel all the way to Gibraltar, UK. Gibraltar is also a British territory besides the Mediterranean Sea but due to it’s geographical advantages it’s actually the opposite of Auckland, New Zealand, which means you can travel over 20,000 kilometers with out a passport!

Then Fly from there to Paris. Then use that one special Flight from Paris to Tahiti. Then from Tahiti to New Caledonia and drive to the furthest point of New Caledonia. All of that without needing a passport. The total length of the trip from Morro Jarble, Canary Islands, Spain to Kuto, New Caledonia, France is actually 19 390 km (12 050 mi) making it even longer than the Guam, Puerto-Rico trip

St Pierre & Miquelon is part of France, just of the coast of Newfoundland, that has a non-stop flight to Paris (they used to have to fly through Montreal, but their runway has been extended so now there's direct flights) - no passports needed for French/EU citizens, so it's possible to fly from St. Pierre to Reunion, which are 13,312km apart, without a passport. There is also a direct flight from Paris to Papeete (French Polynesia) with a stop in Vancouver. Other airlines do this route via San Francisco or LA, and the Americans, being American, insisted on full immigration checks (even for EU citizens), but wether or not Canada does, I don't know. On the St. Pierre route when that required a full-blown connection in Montreal with a change of planes, they had special arrangements for transferring passengers allowing them to avoid any Canadian immigration/customs stuff, so it'd be nice if they've extended the same courtesy to the Paris-Vancouver-Papeete flights. If so that's 15,715km without a passport!

The thing about Guam is you would need to be careful when scheduling your flight. Though there are a few flights direct from Hawaii, most flights connect through Japan, in which case you would need a passport (unless traveling on military orders, in which case we have an agreement with Japan).

From Ponta Delgada (PDL) in the Azores -> Lisbon (LIS) -> Paris (CDG) -> Réunion (RUN) is 7624 miles/12271 kilometers. The travel from the Azores (part of Portugal) via Lisbon to Paris is within the Schengen Area. EU citizens do not need to show a national ID card or passport when travelling in this border-free area, though documents may be requested. Réunion is an overseas department and region of France that is also an outermost region of the EU. This means an EU national can use an national ID card for travel from Paris, for example. It also means any EU citizen can not only travel to but also RESIDE in any/all of those places for an unlimited period.

If you're from one of the nordic countries, you can fly to Greenland with only some picture ID. E.g. your drivers licence. As for example a Dane, you can thus fly from Réunion to Paris, from Paris to Copenhagen and from Copenhagen to Kangerlussuaq and from Kangerlussuaq to Qaanaq. Which has got to be the longest distance.

technically, you can also travel from anywhere in canada (i believe) to st pierre et miquelon (france) without a passport due to a deal canada has with the island. all youd need is a piece of ID, maybe a birth certificate as well but usually your driver’s license is good enough

A few years ago, my friend and I both tried to see what's the two longest distances between the earth and even tried to use inverted maps that show which two points are directly opposite one another. The closest we got was Christchurch to Madrid, and today, we finally got our answer. Whangarei to Tangier. Thank you :)

In the Summer of 2018 there was a seasonal weekly flight between Paris and Saint-Pierre (off Canada's Atlantic coast) so one could get from Réunion to Saint-Pierre without needing a passport. I guess that comes close. But normally you need to go through Canada.

In the US, Canada, and Mexico, we have something called a "Nexus Card" which is part of the Trusted Traveler Programs. They're basically passports in a card that you don't need a passport to get.

What about traveling from Svalbard to Reunion as a Schengen citizen(Svalbard is technically outside the Schengen area though), or Kirkenes,Norway or something how long would that be, as there is no passport requirements inside Schengen.

Technically the French overseas departments are part of the EU and most even use the Euro but they are not part of Schengen that only applies to mainland/metropolitan France. This means that you can travel there as a French citizen without a passport but not as a citizen of any other Schengen/EU country.

With my ID and my car, I traveled back in 2005 from Athens, Greece and through Italy, France, Spain, Gibraltar, Portugal, Andorra, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Danemark, Sweden till Norway.. Up to 11000 km It was a great trip!!!

Something that is really interstitial if you are counting distance traveled instead of displacement happens, you see in South America all members of the mercosul alliance can travel between the borders of the member countries using only a governament issued aid so you could leave Fernando de Noronha, get a plane to mainland Brasil drive around the coastline go through Paraguai all the way to the Tierra del Fuego, travel Chile’s coastline up north to Colombia passing through equador get a plane in bogota to la Paz in bolivia, to finally drive to Asunción in paraguai

If you're South American (*w/ some exceptions) the further you can go is 8500 km, from Isla de Pascua (IPC) to Fernando de Noronha (FEN)

If you have government clearance (as opposed to a passport) I have to imagine that there is a way to travel entirely via US locations and transportation from the north coast of Alaska to McMurdo Station in Antarctica.

If you hold Permeant Residence status in Canada, you use your "Permeant Residence" card to enter the country, not a passport. You need *photo ID* to get through security and board the plane (not a passport). Sydney has direct flights to Vancouver, so you can do Perth-Sydney-Vancouver-Toronto-Halifax... 18,591km.

You don't need a passport if you are transiting through Singapore Airport (i've never had to show mine to anybody when I have done that), so I believe you can travel from France to New Caledonia without needing to have a passport. Actually, from what I can remember, I didn't need to show my passport when I was transiting through Heathrow back in 2011.

If you catch the (very expensive and rare, but scheduled) voyage from Réunion to the Antarctic territories and start your journey in Guadeloupe or Svalbard, you should be able to cover >14000km total great circle distance with an EU (or, at least, French) ID card.

US citizens can go to Micronesia with just a birth certificate and ID, no passport. Combined with the Caribbean cruise no,passport thing, this brings it up to 16700 km from Grenada (Trinidad and Tobago requires passport) to Ngulu Atoll, accessible by boat from Yap, with flights to Guam. US citizens used to be able to enter Palau without a passport which would extend it further, but now you need a passport.

In the US, Canada, and Mexico, we have something called a "Nexus Card" which is part of the Trusted Traveler Programs. They're basically passports in a card that you don't need a passport to get. It's a travel document, much like a passport, that's only usable (as far as I know) in those three countries. I have never owned a passport in my life, but I have a Nexus Card. With that card, I can travel the "American Citizen" distance without US citizenship (Canadians get visa-free entry to the US), and there may even be a longer route that I haven't thought of.

You can't travel through Russia without a passport

As a citizen of Belgium, France, Germany, Italy or Portugal you can enter Egypt with your national ID card and two biometric photos for a 28 days stay. You then visit the area around the Toshka lakes and as a EU citizen hop on a flight back to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, then take a direct flight (only with technical stop at LAX) of Air France to Fa'a'ā International Airport, Papeete French Polynesia (still EU) and take a connecting flight to Tubuai - Mataura Airport, which is literally on the other side of the earth from the Toshka lakes with a distance of 20.021,37 km. There is hardly any way to beat that.

Before that a birth certificate or driving license was all that was needed for travel to Canada, Mexico, Bermuda and Caribbean destinations.

For a holder of a Russian internal passport (which is, by its function, a fancy ID booklet) in non-corona times the longest distance would probably be about 8150 km (or 5050 miles for US Americans out there) between Nikol'skoye, Commander islands, Kamchatka krai, Russia and Agarak, Armenia (could be stretched even further by a 100 km or so, but these are villages connected by some means of transport with their countries, not just random points on land).

The trip between McMurdo Station in Antarctica and Barrow, AK is around 10,400 miles.
