While many people would expect the expiry date on their passport to signify the moment it is no longer valid, this isn’t always the case depending on where you travel to. With so many countries each implementing their own travel regulations, here is how long you need to have left on your passport in order to travel.

Passport Only Needs to Cover Your Stay

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.

Valid For Three Months

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.

Valid For Six Months

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.

For international travelers, your passport is the number one most important thing that you must protect while traveling. Losing a passport or having it damaged could result in a major travel headache, something that no one wants to experience.

So, what steps can you take towards keeping your passport safe? Here are three useful tips that can help.

Buy a Nice Cover

Passports are surprisingly flimsy for being such an important document. One way to add an extra layer of protection that will help it from being torn or ripped is a nice cover that will protect its exterior. These are available in all kinds of materials, but leather is my favorite.

Keep It in a Secret Location

Traveling with a passport can be nerve-wracking because it is a prime target for thieves to try to steal. Keep your passport, whether it’s physically on you or not, in a top-secret location that cannot be easily found by would-be robbers.

Don’t Let the Elements Ruin It

A rainstorm, a snowstorm, or extreme hot weather can be the death of an otherwise safe passport. Don’t allow your passport to be exposed to extreme conditions, which can lead to the RFID chip and pages of your passport to be ruined.
