]]>Some countries, such as Argentina, Japan, and the United States, are happy to welcome travelers whose passports are only valid for the duration of their stay. While you cannot stay after your passport expires, these are worthwhile locations to visit if your passport will soon expire.
Most European Union members, including all of those in the Schengen Area, require you to have a passport that is valid for at least three months in order to be allowed entry. This includes Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, and Spain.
While not a common requirement, some popular tourist hotspots including Dubai, Israel, and the Maldives require travelers to have at least six months left on their passports in order to enter.

]]>If your passport was issued after August 2007, you have an e-passport, which has a small integrated chip in the back cover that stores your passport information and a biometric identifier based on your photo. To keep your passport from becoming a victim to high-tech identity theft, there are metallic elements in the cover that make it impossible for it to be digitally read until it’s opened.
If your appearance has significantly changed, you may need a new passport. This includes losing weight, gaining weight, facial surgeries, trauma, facial tattoos, or piercings.
A standard-issue passport is 28 pages long, but you can request a longer, 53-page passport at no additional cost when applying or renewing it. If you fill up all 52 pages, you’ll have to apply for a new passport even if yours hasn’t expired.
