Can I return to the USA with a passport expiring in five months?

Question: Can I return to the USA with a US Passport which will expire within five months?

Answer: Yes, you can return to the United States with a passport that will expire five months later. Note, however, that you may not be allowed to depart the U.S. if your destination is a country which follows the six month passport validity rule.

Many countries require your passport to have at least six months of validity before they will grant you permission to enter. Since not all countries have this requirement, it is important that you verify the foreign entry requirements for the places you plan to visit.

My Passport expires in 7 months what should i do
by: Anonymous

Question: Hello. My passport expires in April of 2018 --what, where and when should I go to renew this? Or should I apply for a new passport all together?

I travel between the US and Brasil often and my Brazilian Entry Visa will be expiring with my passport. Will this be renewed with my new passport or is this separate? Final question- I am planning to get married in 2018 but don't have an exact date. Should I automatically apply for a fiance visa or would it be easier to renew my regular passport and visa then reapply for fiance visa? Thanks in advance.

Answer: As long as your passport is undamaged and can be submitted with the application, you can renew your passport via mail. You can do this as early as now. In fact, the State Department recommends starting the renewal process as early as 9 months before expiration.

Your Brazil visa will not be renewed with your U.S. passport. You will have to contact the Brazilian Embassy or Consulate for concerns regarding visas.

Return to the US
by: joshua

Question: So I'm currently in Afghanistan on a work visa, I am supposed to leave August 31st but my passport expires 2 weeks later on September 16th, will I be able to travel back home? There's tons of rumors going around saying I will be denied when I get to Dubai.

Answer: As a U.S. citizen, you may re-enter the United States up to the expiration date of your U.S. passport. However, you need at least 6 months validity on your passport to enter the UAE.

If you are only transiting through Dubai and not leaving the airport, you may not need to comply with the validity requirement. However, if you are staying for a time in Dubai, you need to renew your passport before leaving Afghanistan. You may do this at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul.

We recommend contacting the airline you are flying with to verify travel document requirements.

One day late
by: Anonymous

Question: I have a trip leaving July 29th. My passport expires on August 4th. My return to the USA is August 5th. What do I need to do?

Answer: You cannot re-enter the United States on an expired passport, even if it has just been a day since expiration.

You can try going to a regional passport agency to apply for a possible same-day renewal but there is no guarantee that you will be issued a passport in time.

You can also contact a private passport expediter to see if they can assist you in getting your passport in time. They may be able to help you since they have special relationships with regional agencies.

If these do not work, your last resort may be to apply for a renewal while you are overseas. You need to contact the closest U.S. Embassy or Consulate in your destination country for this service.

by: Kyle

Question: Hello,

I am a dual citizen with a U.S. and Guatemalan passport. My flight is in two days and I just now realized that my U.S. passport is expired but my Guatemalan passport is valid for 2 more years.

Can I travel to Guatemala with my Guatemalan passport and renew my US passport while there?

Applications submitted at a regional agency are processed in 1 to 8 business days.

Another option is to employ the services of a private passport expediter. An expediter can get your application processed in as fast as the same day.

Passport expires 2 days before coming back to the US
by: Anonymous

Question: My 10-year-old daughter is traveling to Nicaragua today June 27, 2017 and returning to the USA on July 30, 2017 and we just realized that her passport will expire 2 days before she comes back. Will she be able to enter the USA? She is US citizen.

Answer: U.S. citizens must re-enter the United States using valid passports. Since there's not enough time to obtain a new passport for your child, you need to do it at the U.S. Embassy in Managua.

Your daughter needs to appear in person with both parents at the embassy to apply for the passport. If one of the parents cannot appear with the child, the non-applying parent must execute a notarized statement of consent for passport issuance. If both parents cannot appear with the child, both must submit a notarized statement of consent and authorization for the adult who will accompany the child when she applies. All statements must be accompanied with a photocopy of the parent/s' IDs.

Dual Citizen Question
by: Michael

Question: Hi,

I am a dual citizen (US + Belgium) currently living in the US.

I am travelling back home to Belgium for a few weeks with a return flight back to the US on July 16.

I booked my flight under my US passport, but now realize it expires within 3 months of my travel date, on August 15th. My Belgian Passport is still valid for 7 years. I understand the Shenghen zone requires a 3 month valid passport beyond travel date if travelling from the US.

Will I be allowed to leave the US if I present my US passport, or should I use my Belgian passport, even though I booked my flight on my US passport? Or will this not affect me since I am a citizen of Belgium? The customer service of my airline suggested I simply change the passport linked to my ticket to my BE passport when I arrive at the airport. Thank you in advance for your insights.

Answer: All U.S. citizens are required to depart and return to the United States using U.S. passports. Since you have Belgian citizenship, you may use your U.S. passport when you leave the U.S. then present Belgian passport when you arrive in Belgium.

How can airline dictate validity of US passport requirement?
by: Tracey

Question: I am a US travel agent. Suddenly in last year or two, I noticed we have our major airlines dictation passport validity requirements that do not match those of the country that is being visited. They are requiring 6 months validity beyond travel date where it is in fact not required, and I have colleagues who's clients have been denied boarding because of the AIRLINE's made-up rule, even though they had a print out of the country's policy.

How is this even possible for them to make-up their own rules about international entry/exit requirements?

Answer: Some airlines and cruise lines establish their own travel document requirements. These requirements may be based on each destination country's requirements or the State Department's recommendations. For example: member countries of the Schengen Agreement require 3 months but the State Department recommends 6 months. Airlines may follow either the requirement or the recommendation.

It is best to verify travel requirements with airlines before booking.
URGENT China Entry Question
by: Wendi

Question: My mother holds a green card and has a CHINESE passport expiring in Oct 2017. Will she have any problems exiting the U.S. for China and then returning less than a month later? I have done research online regarding 6-month requirement in terms of passport expiration, but am not sure if it applies to her. We have run into problems at the Chinese embassy where her green card includes my father's last name, but her Chinese passport does not (merely because it's not a custom in China to take the husband's last name). Officials are requiring a name change, but that process can take up to three months at the court, and her tickets and appointments overseas have been booked. After 35 years married to my father and living in the U.S., this is the FIRST time she has encountered a situation like this. Please help.

Answer: According to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection website, Lawful Permanent Residents (LPR) who change their name due to marriage or because of any other circumstance may travel using a valid Green Card in a different name provided that proof of name progression such as a marriage certificate, a divorce decree or court documents showing a legal name change can be presented. Your mother will most likely not have any problems exiting and returning to the United States using her green card and current passport.

Having said that, she may face issues with immigration once she arrives in China because of the difference in names. Please contact the Chinese Embassy for assistance and more information.

Question: Traveling to Bosnia and Herzegovina on April, 23,2017 and coming back in the USA on May, 24 2017. My husband's passport expires June, 5 2017. Is it okay to travel?

Answer: In order to enter Bosnia and Herzegovina, U.S. citizens must have at least 3 months validity remaining on their passports. The three months will be counted from your intended date of departure from their country.

Your husband needs to renew his passport before your trip. Since you are leaving in less than 2 weeks, he needs to apply for expedited service at the closest regional passport agency and present your airline tickets as proof of immediate international travel. Please call 1-877-487-2778 to set an appointment.

Another way to do this is through a private passport expediter. These companies can get your husband's renewal application processed in as fast as the same day.
