What is the 6 Month Validly Rule?

As a rule of thumb, US passports must be valid for a minimum of six months past the date of entry into a foreign country. This rule exists to protect the traveler should they encounter medical, legal or other issues resulting in an unforeseen extended stay in the country.

Some countries are more relaxed on this regulation. Most countries in Western Europe indicate three to six months of validity are required and countries such as Hong Kong routinely allow people to enter with one month of validly remaining. Any counties can and may enforce a six month policy at the discretion of the immigration officer. Airlines are also known to be conservative on passport validity so when in doubt, check with your airline.
