Window


Explanation:
If this is at an office or the airport, someone would be working behind a counter. Since the word "vidrio" is used, I would call it a window.

  -> Yes, it does. But I've never heard of anyone working (examining passports) from inside a glass booth.

neutral  Rick Larg: Glass booths are all the rage at e.g. Palma de Mallorca airport
