Do I need to renew my passport before my trip?

Question: My U.S. passport will expire on Feb 19 next year. I'm planning a trip to Hong Kong, China. Can I depart on Nov 20 this year and return on Dec 14? During my trip in Hong Kong, can I also travel to Taiwan or South Korea for 3-4 days?


Answer: To enter Hong Kong, you will need a passport that is valid for at least one month beyond the date of your intended stay, adequate funds to cover your stay without working locally, and evidence of onward/return transportation. You do not need a visa for tourist visits of up to 90 days.

As a U.S. passport holder, you will be allowed to enter Taiwan without a visa for up to 90 days (no extensions permitted) as long as you have a passport valid for the duration of your stay.

You must have a passport to enter Republic of Korea. As long as you have a valid U.S. passport, you can enter the county without a visa for a stay of up to 90 days if you are a tourist or if you are in the Republic of Korea on business.

Therefore, you can visit Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea with your current passport.

Question: My husband has his passport expiration date for May 2018, but his visa to Brasil is expired. We will get a new visa anyway for a trip to Brasil Oct 2017 and this visa is valid for 10 years. Should we renew his passport beforehand? Or should we get the visa in the old passport and renew the passport later? How would that work later? How earlier can we renew a passport? Thanks.

Answer: U.S. passports can be renewed at anytime during their validity and up until 5 years after their expiration. However, if you renew early, any validity remaining on the passport will be lost.

The Brazilian Consulate General's website FAQ says the following about valid visas in expired passports:

"When you travel to Brazil, you will have to take both passports with you: the new one as a valid travel document, and the old one with the valid visa. You don’t need to apply for a new visa if the one in your expired passport is still valid."

Based on this, it is not necessary to renew your husband's passport before applying for a visa. However, he will have to carry two passports every time he travels to Brazil.

Travel to Croatia
by: Anonymous

Question: I'm traveling to Croatia 5/12/2017 and coming back 5/22/2017. My passport expiration date is 8/7/2017. Do I need new passport?

Answer: As party to the Schengen Agreement, Croatia requires that your U.S. passport be valid for at least 3 months counting from your date of departure from the Schengen area.

Your passport falls short of this requirement. You need to apply for a passport renewal before your trip. Since you only have a little over two weeks before your trip, you need to apply for expedited service.

You can do this by setting an appointment at a regional passport agency. The number to call is 1-877-487-2778. You need the following for your application:

1. Form DS-82
2. Your current passport
3. New passport photo
4. Payment for fees
5. Proof of immediate international travel (airline ticket to Croatia)

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

Question: My wife's U.S. passport expires on July 9, 2017. She is currently a UK resident. She wishes to return late June this year on a round trip and renew the passport in the US. Is this OK or should she get it renewed at the U.S. Embassy in the UK? She also has an indefinite leave to remain in the UK visa in her current passport.

Answer: Your wife may renew her passport when she visits the U.S. However, routine processing takes 6-8 weeks to complete. If she applies for expedited service, processing time is reduced to 2-3 weeks.

If she renews her passport at the U.S. Embassy in London, she will get her passport in approximately 4 weeks. If she applies at the Consulate General in Belfast or Edinburgh, she will get her passport in 10 or 15 working days, respectively. The old passport will be returned to her.

Please have her contact the British Embassy to see about transferring the visa to the new passport or if she can travel with both passports.

If you are traveling on a closed-loop cruise (one that starts and ends in the same U.S. city), you may not need a passport.

Any Difference between Switzerland & France?
by: Anonymous

Question: Hi. Our family is traveling to Europe April 15 and returning April 23. My wife's passport expires August 18 of 2017. I believe we are OK with the 3 month requirements. We are flying in and out of Geneva, but driving to Lyon, France for a few days. I have heard France requires 6 months, but do not see that anywhere and not sure it matters if we are flying in and out of Geneva. Can you confirm? Thank you!

Answer: Switzerland and France are both party to the Schengen Agreement. As such, both countries allow you to freely travel around the Schengen Area without a visa for 90 days. It does not matter which country you fly in and out of as long as it is within the area.

Your wife's passport meets the 3-month validity rule. The six-month requirement is a recommendation from the State Department under the assumption that you will stay for the entire allowable 90 days (3 months). Since you are staying for only a few days, you should have no problems while you travel.

by: Anonymous

Question: I am leaving for Spain in April 6 2017 for 20 days and my passport expires on July 23 2017 do I need to renew my passport.

Answer: Spain, as party to the Schengen Agreement, requires that U.S. passports be valid for 3 months beyond the bearer's planned date of departure. Your passport does not meet this requirement. You need to renew your passport before your trip.

Since you're leaving in a couple of days, you need to apply via expedited service. You can go to the nearest regional passport agency and submit your renewal application with proof of immediate international travel. Regional agencies require appointments but walk-ins are usually entertained. Just make sure you arrive before the agency opens. You may be issued a same-day passport but there is no guarantee.

Another option is to apply through a registered passport courier who can get your application processed in as fast as the same day without you having to travel to the agency.

Can I book an international flight for April 1st with my current passport and pick up my new passport when I return April 4th?

I was told my new passport will be held for 90 days at the consulate.

When a new passport is issued, the old passport is invalidated and can no longer be used.

by: Anonymous

Question: I am going to London and Paris on March 7 2015, and my passport expires in May 16 2015. Do I need to renew my passport?

Answer: Your passport only needs to be validity at the time of entry for travel to England.

However, a current U.S. passport with a minimum validity from date of entry into France of six months or more is required to enter most European Union countries, including France. Because of the EU’s "Schengen" regulations, U.S. citizens presenting passports with less than six month validity have been denied entry into France and sometimes detained by airport police pending mandatory boarding on a return flight. If your passport does not meet the Schengen requirements, you may also be refused boarding by the airline at your point of origin or while transferring planes.

The U.S. Department of State recommends that your passport have at least six month validity remaining whenever you travel to Europe. For this reason, you should apply for a passport renewal before your trip.
