[@bilkham]

Did it apply european country??

[@Jayariee]

Is this the same for the visitor (non immigrant) visa?

[@grassytramtracks]

Yes, this rule applies to all travellers in most countries. The only exception would be if you hold an EU passport, in which case if you go to the EU (for example travelling to or from Ireland, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Romania or Croatia, which are in the EU but not Schengen) the rule doesn't apply because EU citizens can live and work freely in any EU country for as long as they like

Hi this might be a dumb question .. but the 6 month rule ... does it mean that you must have had your passport for at least six months before traveling ... or it just means it can't expire within 6 months when traveling to new countries? I want to travel to Guyana and need to renew my passport .. once i get it renewed do i have to wait 6 months? or i can go once i get it?

[@blgirl911]

Can’t expire within 6 months

[@David-on2ty]

Ihad the very same question. If airlines say this 6 months rule is important then they should make it clear. 6 months validity for me has two interpretation. 1. 6 months validity from the date of issue. 2. 6 months validity until the expire date. I bought a ticket already and I will need to pay more money to change my booking because of them.

[@chriseseigbe9768]

Very interesting and informative video. I personally think these 3 or 5 month validity passport rules are frankly very ridiculous. I very recently was travelling from the UK to Germany and was denied from checking in at airport because according to the airline staff at the airport, my passport had less than 3 months left on it (my passport had a little over 2 months left on it) and I was only travelling from the UK to Germany for 3 days ie going on Friday and coming back on Sunday, so why wouldn't u be allowed to travel. These rules are pretty ridiculous and pointless because my ticket clearly shows that I was only going for a very short trip and on return, my passport was still valid for at least two months, so even if for one reason or another, something happened in Germany and I couldn't come back to the UK, l still had a little over 2 months left on my passport. These passport rule are frankly very ridiculous. In fact, what these rules mean now is that, most passports which have 3 or 6 months left on them are totally useless, because one cannot travel with them. My question is that what is the point of a passport if it cannot be used when it has 3 or 6 months left depending on the country.
