I hear some countries require that you have at least 6 months before the expiry date on your passport from the date you enter (or possibly the date you intend to leave).  Is there a limit on passport expiry date for entry into Japan?  If it makes a difference, I have Australian and British passports.

I'm planning to travel to Japan and I just realised my passport will have less than six months validity at the time I travel.  I know some countries require at least 6 months validity for entry. Is this likely to be a problem for Japan?  (As an Australian citizen I don't require a visa for short term tourist entry)

In July 2015, I have been granted Multiple entry Schengen Visa valid for 5 years, with duration of stay : 90 days. My job requires me to frequently travel In and Out of Schengen countries, and have almost consumed 40 days by now, and I am afraid I will soon exhaust these 90 days stay limit.  Question 1: If by chance I exceed 90 days before the expiry in year 2020, what will happen ?  Question 2: Is there any way I can apply to Consulate who issued me this Visa and extend my limit of stay in Schengen, or do I need to apply for another type of Visa for my frequent travel to Schengen?

I am writing because I have a question regarding my ESTA application and because I could not find a similar case online that would help me at this stage. I have never been to the U.S. so this would be my first visit.    I am a German citizen, hence eligible for the Waiver Program. I applied for an ESTA in June 2014 and got approved. After further research on the Internet I learned that the passport should be valid until 6 months after the planned return date. My passport was due to run out in Feb 2015 - which still should have been fine but because I didn't want to take chances I applied for a new passport which was issued August 2014 and is now valid until August 2024. My passport number has been changed also.    After I received my new passport I was advised by a friend to apply for a B-1/B-2 visa as it would allow me to extend my stay and it seemed like a good idea at first. On the day of my interview I also applied for a new ESTA with my new passport number (just in case) which again was granted.   Unfortunately for me the interview for the B-1/B-2 visa was unsuccessful and I got rejected. I was not aware then that after a rejected interview one could not travel with ESTA, otherwise I would have never risked it!  Now I am very concerned, can I still use my ESTA and enter the U.S.? as I read everywhere that once you get rejected the chances of getting through are very slim and any visa rejection will result in not being able to use the waiver program.  It might be important to note that both the B-1/B-2 interview and the waiver application were on the same day, 21st of August 2014, so depending on how one might look at it that might present a problem too I suppose.  I guess the frustration lies in the fact that I did not need to apply for a B-1/B-2 visa to begin with, and had I not I would now not have these problems. I would like to know how likely it is that I can still travel under the waiver program, if at all, and what my options are at this point.

My friend tells me that I can leave South Korea for 1 night and re-enter, to reset my 90 days. For example, an American could enter Korea and stay for 90 days and then go to Japan or China (any place outside of Korea), and return to Korea and have the passport stamped for another 90 days. He tells me that a lot people have been doing it for years. Is it legal?  I have a U.S. citizenship and I've been staying in Korea since January 17th. I'm supposed to return on the 13th of April, but I have a grad school audition that came up unexpectedly that's in May. So I was wondering if it would be okay if I moved my returning ticket to sometime after my audition in May, and go to Japan for a night or two in April and come back to Korea.

I have an existing Schengen visa given by Netherlands and expires on April 27, 2019. I am applying again for a visa going to france, my flight schedule is on April 29-may 6 2019. Do I still need to process the cancellation of my existing visa where in fact it is expiring before my flight. Some said existing visa should be cancelled before you can apply for new visa.

Will my Chinese visa still be valid if I renew my passport? If so how does that work?  I have heard that you can travel with your new passport and just show the old passport with the valid visa when entering China. Has anyone done that? Recently?   I have also been told that you have to get a new visa, which seems somewhat logical but frustrating, especially when my Chinese visa is only a few months old.  My Chinese visa was issued in late Nov 2014 and I heard the rules changed between the US and China. My visa says it's good for 10 years and my US passport expires in 5.

We (adults, 3 children ages 9-14) are traveling by airplane from the US to Canada on 7.21.15 for 1 week. Our 3 children's (ages 9-14) passports all expired on 7.18.15.  3 days before our departure. Will our children be able to enter Canada with a US birth certificate with a seal accompanied by us, their legal parents, with our still valid passports as well as their only 72 hour expired passports? Thanks

I'm running low on blank passport pages which are sometimes needed for full page visas such as those issued by Armenia, India, and Vietnam.  When I crossed the border into Turkey the other day I got my visa-on-arrival and stamp, but instead of putting it on a partly used page, which I have many, the guy at customs and immigration put them on a previously blank page. Now I have one fewer!  What can I do to prevent or at least reduce the chances of this happening?  It's worth remembering that there's likely to be a language barrier and it's always best to be ultra-nice to these border officials.  Has anybody heard of any trick such as sticking bit of paper in your passport, either blank, or looking a bit like visas? I have noticed that nobody ever stamps a page that has a remnant of something once stapled in there in Japan. There is a kind of stub that had its major part torn off along a perforation. Might I be able to emulate this somehow or would that even be worse making the blank pages invalid for full page visas due to having holes from staples? I know some things can get very picky when it comes to customs and immigration.

If I have two passports with different numbers can I stay 90 days in a country, leave for a few days and return for another 90 days with my second passport? Is my information stored in some database or do they just check your passport stamps? I am asking about visiting Ukraine specifically

I'm a US citizen and I've already gotten my Tier 4 visa to study in the UK in my passport, however, it looks like the start date on the visa and the letter to present to the Immigration Officer has allowed me entry an extra week on top of the usual month. My school starts on September 24th, but my visa states permission to enter on August 17th. I've read that you are only allowed a month before the beginning of school, but my visa is saying differently!  Should I assume its wrong and enter on the 24th or is it okay for me to enter on the 17th?   Thanks.

My husband and I are planning a 6 months road trip in USA and Canada. We both hold passports that allow for VWP for 90 days.   If we entered on VWP, I have read that we cannot extend beyond the 90 days granted by VWP and must leave by the 90 days. Is this true? Should we apply for a B2 visa before we leave?

I'm on a vacation in Japan and have bought some items tax-free in different stores (Bic Camera, Isetan, some smaller shops).   Can I use the items while in Japan? Do I need to show them after check-in together with the receipts on my passport (at Customs) or can I pack them?
