Passport expiring in 8 weeks - International Trip next week
07-31-2013, 11:47 PM
I am off to Poland next and just realized my passport is expiring in about 8 weeks.
I was looking at the US State Department site and it said "Your passport should be valid for at least three months beyond the period of stay. "
I will be back before my passport expires. Am I going to be ok?
It says should and not must be.
If anyone has dealt with this before, I'd appreciate any insight you may have.
Thanks.

Pay that rush fee of $100-$150 and get you new passport in less than a week.

yep that is the best move.
Most countries won't allow you to come if your passport is expiring within 3 months I think - certainly Russia. I assume the EU is like this too but could be wrong. Wouldn't risk it in any case.

Thailand wouldn't let me go once because my passport was expiring less than 6 months from my entry.
Definitely get a new passport before you go. I was able to get a rush one in a week.

48 hr is un-necessary. Rush job will get it back to you in 3-4 weeks via standard routes. Dbl check via US passport office.
Def. get a new passport though.
