Entry requirements for arrival from space

Astronauts don’t take the passport during the space travel, but diplomats of country of origin or the space agency will carry the passport, and bring them where the passport will be needed (e.g. for emergency landing), or back to Kazakhstan for regular landing.

Landing in foreign state is not a huge issue, it is the same as an emergency landing with a plane on a third country (with ev. a detour to find ground). Just probably you are not free to move without a proper passport (and eventually visa). But also in this case, consolar service will help the astronaut, and probably they can recognise the astronaut without need much of bureaucracy.

Ok, it is a big issue for the country of the space vehicle: they should pay for any damage and rescue, but most importantly they would like to keep secret the technologies.

The Apollo 11 astronauts had to clear customs when they arrived back from the moon. and declare their ‘cargo’ of moon rock and dust samples.

According to NASA spokespeople it’s genuine, but it was a bit of a joke at the time.
