Travel with almost expired passport
Hi, I am a permanent resident and want to travel to Kuwait for a week
in the end of February. I just looked at my passport to discover it will expire in June. Will I have problems? Any help is appreciated. Thanks. |

In all probability you will not be allowed admission to Kuwait in February.
Most countries require a minimum of 6 months on unexpired time on the passport. You need to do an expedited renewal of the passport ASAP. A quick Google search found this information Kuwait » Passport Visa Requirements Passport/Visa Passport Note Married women and children may travel on the passport of their husband or father. Passports Passport valid for at least six months required by all nationals referred to in the chart above. Visas Required by all nationals referred to in the chart above. Note: 1. Nationals of the EU (except nationals of Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovak Republic and Slovenia), Australia, Canada and the USA can now obtain visas for entry into Kuwait upon arrival at the port of entry. Note: Nationals not referred to in the chart above are advised to contact the embassy to check visa requirements (see Contact Addresses). Types of Visa and Cost Business, Visitor and Transit. Transit visas are not required provided passengers continue their onward journey within eight hours, hold all necessary documents for their onward journey and do not leave the airport. The fee for a visa depends on the applicant's nationality. For UK nationals the fees are as follows: Single-entry: £30 (for three months); £48 (for six months). Multiple-entry: £66 (for six months); £75 (for one year); £96 (for two years); £135 (for five years). Validity Depends on nationality and purpose of visit. Validity of the visa is usually three months from date of issue. Enquire at consulate (or consular section at embassy) for further details.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Most countries (including Kuwait) require that your passport be valid for 6 months past your visit. Will they waive that requirement? Depends on how lucky you feel. Depending on what country's passport you are travelling under, there should be plenty of time to get an expedited renewal. |

I secured a visa for Kuwait and getting there is not a problem. But my question now is that the passport I have (Jordanian) will expire on June 2nd, 2008 and it is a non-machine readable. My visit will be from February 6- 16 of next month. Will I have a problem being admitted to the US? Thanks for the help. I heard that the passport has to be machine-readable. |
