I am a dual citizen of Germany and USA and I will enter the USA soon with my US passport which is set to expire in 2 weeks. I plan on staying there for about 1 month before returning to my country of residence, the UK. Will the expiry of my US passport cause any problems? Can I use the German one to leave the USA and enter the UK?

My daughter has dual citizenship: US/German.  We will be flying from Germany to the US in 6 weeks. Her US passport will expire during our stay in the US, but not on the day of our flight (4 days later). Do you think I should get ESTA for her? Just to make sure that the airline will let her board the plane? Will there be any problems with getting back to Germany without ESTA and with an expired US passport?

I have a fairly convoluted situation:  I'm a British national currently resident in Bermuda. I have a Brazilian passport and also up until recently a British passport.  Earlier this month I lost my British passport while on holiday in Canada. This weekend I also have a trip back home (planned long ago) to the UK for 3-4 days.  The British consulate in Canada gave me emergency travel documents entitling me to travel to the UK via Bermuda, so that I could make the UK trip (since full UK passports take 6 weeks to reissue and there is no consulate in Bermuda). I'm now in Bermuda, half-way through my documents' journey. On them I can reenter the UK this week, but my issue is how I'm going to get back having now discovered the 1-day premium service for renewing passports is in fact not available for replacing lost passports and one cannot obtain more emergency travel documents in the UK, contrary to the advice of the consulate in Canada.  After fairly extensively analyzing my options I've deduced they're fairly limited. Extending the length of my trip in the UK is not desirable due to possible tax implications. However, one potential solution I've not been able to verify is whether I could travel into the UK on these emergency documents, then leave back for Bermuda on the Brazilian passport instead.  I know you can't enter the UK on a non-UK passport if you're eligible for one - but what about leave? Would Bermuda accept my Brazilian passport? Might it being a British overseas territory complicate things?

In Early September I was an au pair in Italy, but because I'm American I can only stay in the Schengen Zone for 90 days. I decided to continue as a nanny in Manchester, UK until my 90 days were up. Essentially, I said “working” to the UK border, so they sent me back to the USA.  My passport now has an ‘X’ across the Manchester stamp. Will this affect me re-entering the EU (I go through immigration in Portugal, despite my final destination being Italy)? Or am I better off getting a new passport? I’m not sure if they share the same database, but I don’t want to run into any issues again.

My Pakistani passport expires less than a month from now. I understand that some countries only let people in if their passport is valid for six months or more. Will I be able to enter Pakistan on a passport that is about to expire?  Also, travelling back to Pakistan is likely to involve transiting through some other country.  Does the six-month rule still apply to people returning to their country of citizenship?

My dilemma is that I was admitted to the US under my B2 visa on October 27 2017, my passport was stamped with a end of stay of April 26, 2018. (see first picture).  I then went to Iceland for 10 days and when I re-entered my passport was stamped again, but this time it was stamped with 'WT' not 'B2'. The departure date on this stamp was April 6, 2018 (he only gave me 90 days as he admitted me under the VWP and not my B2 visa). (see second picture)  My issue now is that my ESTA will expire at the start of March but I plan to stay in the US until mid April. Am I allowed to stay? Do I need to extend my ESTA or is my B2 visa enough? Can I depart on April 26th like my first stamp says, or do I have to depart before April 6th?  I hope this makes sense. Please help. Thank you.

I am visiting the US in August 2014 for a week, returning home to the UK &amp; will then be visiting for another 2 weeks in October 2014.  My question is, can I use the same ESTA or would I need to reapply for the second visit? I think the ESTA lasts 90 days but I am unsure if you can leave &amp; re-enter?

I am an asylee in the United States. I have a Green Card, and my primary passport which was issued by my country of origin. I am not allowed to go back to my home city and then return to the United States.   But, due to an emergency, I have to go there. So, I decided to use a third country to go to from the US, stay there for a while, and then go to my home city then.   Can I use the re-entry permit that gets stamped while departing the US, have my passport stamped in the third country instead of the re-entry permit? I would enter my home country with the passport, and return to the US by the same route, only by showing my re-entry permit and not the passport as if I have never been to my home country?

I have an EU passport (German) in my married name and a South African Passport in my maiden name. I have applied for a new SA passport, but will not receive it in time for my intended trip to SA in Feb. I will book my ticket in my married name and use my German passport for ticketing. Will I encounter any problems with this as I have to enter SA on my SA passport (in maiden name)? I am worried as SA immigration would presumably be sent my EU passport details in advance of my arrival in SA.

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.

I am an American who wants to come to the UK to discern whether or not my boyfriend and I want to continue our dating and possibly marry in the future (not necessarily this trip). If I purchase a one-way ticket, will I be refused entry? I am allowed to stay up to 6 months with just my passport, but wanted to make sure that was, indeed, the case. I already have a place to stay, and I do not plan on working for the time I will be in the UK. I just do not know yet when I will return (within the 6 month period). Suggestions?

When entering the US, I informed the Immigration officer that I was coming home on maternity leave (to give birth and stay for 4 months). My 3-year-old son, a French citizen and eligible for US citizenship, is with me. Now that we are in the US, I have access to all the paperwork required to get his and the baby's US passports, and we plan to leave with those passports to get return to my (non-military) duty station in Asia.   Advice on what to do [as my son entered under the VWP/ESTA and will be in the country longer than 90 days]?   I don't want his French passport to have a black mark or him being barred from re-entry in the future. I also don't plan to spend 370 USD on a visa extension since we are getting their passports in order.

Hopefully a quick question - I am a US citizen currently residing in the UK on a visa. I am traveling to the US for 2 weeks with my wife, who is a British citizen. We do not yet share a last name (due to just not filing the paperwork yet and just being married recently).  She does not have any visas apart from the standard ESTA and there are no other further requirements, such as money, which we would need to worry about.  I've read online that since we are a family we should join the same line together when coming into the US border at the airport. However, because we don't share a last name, would this still apply? Should we just use our own appropriate lines? Would there be any issues with using our own lines?  If we do use one line only, which line?  US citizen or non-US?

I am a US citizen w/dual Italian citizenship traveling over 6 months in Europe.  I will be establishing Italy as primary stay although, my husband (USA citizen) does not have an Italian citizenship.  We want to travel for 6 months to a year throughout Europe.  My question is, what are the rules for him?  Does he need an extended stay visa or can he attach himself to me (I have an EU passport) since we are married?

Starting Friday the 13th, all non-USA passport holders are not allowed entry into the USA when coming from the Schengen area. Does this include layovers?   I'll be traveling from Africa, laying over in Frankfurt and finally arriving in Dulles. As a US citizen, what will be the impact of my layover?

[Edit] Note that this is not a duplicate question. The law was changed on the 1st of April 2016:     Additionally, from 1 April 2016, all travellers wishing to enter the US under the VWP will need to hold a passport with an integrated chip (an ePassport).   I have an ePassport, but I'm not sure if the chip in it still works as the automated check in machines by Aer Lingus at Dublin Airport were unable to read my passport. The automated passport machines on arrival at Dusseldorf Airport seemed to work (although I have no idea if those machines literally just take a visual scan of the passport or read the (possibly broken) chip in my passport).   Just in case the chip in my passport is indeed broken, what would happen at a US port of entry under the new rules effective from April 1st 2016?   Would I be denied entry or just scrutinized more?  Is there a way to check if the chip still works?
