sharky23 Posted February 4, 2010 #1 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Hi all, My family is going on a Mediterranean cruise this summer. It leaves from Civitevecchia and visits Greece and Turkey, along with Italy. I have a question I could use help answering. My passport expires 6 months, and a few days after my trip ends and I return to the U.S. I have read it's wise to have at least 6 months left on one's passport when going abroad. While I do, it's pretty much exactly 6 months. Think I'm ok? Thanks for any feedback! sharky23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab0si Posted February 4, 2010 #2 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Many countries want 6+ months validity. It does not matter if it is 5 months and 1 day or 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Than why not consider just renewing it now before applying for any visas just to be on the safe side. You don't have to wait for the passport to expire to be renewed .

Rare Hlitner Posted February 4, 2010 #4 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Yes, you are OK if you have 6 months remaining at the end of your trip. Of course you could renew prior to your trip but there is no real reason. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
