I’m going to Canada and my passport  will expire in five months. Will this be OK? I cannot find the answer. I know some countries require it to be no more than six months before expiration. But I know some countries have different rules

I would like to travel to France before the starting date of my long sejour visa. I thought it will be no problem since I can travel to the Schengen only with my passport without asking any permission for three months as tourist, but now I was told I have to enter France exactly the date that my long sejour visa says. Is it true?  I have read  but I am not sure I found the answer.  Note: I have been calling the French consulate in my country since last Thursday but no one is answering the phone. I suppose they are  in holidays, but my flight is very soon so I have to know what to do as soon as possible.

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 applied for an H1B visa and it's been approved. I'm waiting for an appointment. But my passport will expire in 12-13 months. If I apply for a new passport now, and appear for visa stamping with the old and new passport, will there be any issue?   All the visa processing activities were done with my old passport.

As a dual citizen, my US passport will expire one day after traveling to the US (May 4th). I will be staying for one week, flying back to Europe afterwards (where I am a resident). Can I enter with my US passport, and leave with my valid EU passport? I'm flying with Icelandair.  Also, in this case I shouldn't try to get an ESTA for my EU passport, right?  PS. When trying to use an emergency procedure to renew my US passport, I am not getting any replies from the US consulate.

I was admitted to the US as a visitor for a period which expires soon.  Until tonight, I had solid plans to return to Europe soon, prior to the expiration of the visa entry, but that is no longer an option.  I do not wish to overstay or do anything that would cause problems with future admissions or visa applications.  However, I can't go back to Europe because of new travel restrictions put in place by the US government (/resulting flight cancellations).    My passport still has years of validity left.  What is the best course of action? Is there any official guidance on this subject?  I am a little concerned that contacting officials to explain the situation would just lead me to be flagged for prompt enforcement action, but I don't want future problems.    Related:  and .    Update: OP now planning an escape to Canada.  The question still stands, though.

I plan on traveling back to my home country for 10 days. I applied for the renewal of my residence permit 2 weeks before it was set to expire. Will it still be a problem? I am asking because in IATA it says: Applications for renewal must be made within 60 days of expiring, otherwise immigration could refuse re-entry, even if holding confirmation of application  Does the above statement mean it is okay to have applied for the renewal within 60 days after expiring? Because in that case, I guess I am safe. I am sorry but for some reason, my English sentence comprehension collapsed when trying to read the above-highlighted sentence

I have a business visa for Australia valid till end of this year(2019) but the passport it is linked to is about to expire. I have applied for a new passport which I will get within the next 14 days. As soon as I get my new passport, I will submit Form 929.    My problem is, I have to travel to Sydney, Australia as early as possible but I am not sure how much time it takes to process Form 929. Some say it takes 3 days, some say more. I need to factor this to book my Flight &amp; Hotel early to save on cost.

My NICOP is expired and I have already booked a flight to Pakistan via Qatar Airways. My wife has a valid NICOP card but my 5 years old child  has never had a NICOP or any other Pakistani ID card other than the British passport. I have made an appointment for next Monday to renew my NICOP and apply for my child's new NICOP card. My question is, what if the cards of my child and mine don't arrive in time, can we still travel to Pakistan, given that we have the receipts as a proof of application?

I am a foreigner and my student visa expired last month. I do have an American driver's license valid until the end of next year. Can I still fly inside the US without being afraid they will check my papers and try to get me out of the country? I haven't used any of my European IDs or passport in 2 years since I got the US ID, so I haven't been showing them off. I've been feeling pretty secure with my license. What do you think?

Hi All, My passport first page got ripped. Front side of this page has a Indian emblem and backside is a blank with no stamps or Visas. Other pages including visas, personal details, POE stamps everything looks good. Basically a brand new passport with more than 7 years validity. Will this be considered as damaged? Please help me with your answers ASAP as I have a travel plan to India end of this month for my own wedding.   This damage happened accidentally when I was scanning the pages.

I applied for my first passport in March 2009 in Lucknow passport office. But it got stuck in the police verification. After 1 year, when I didn't get my passport I decided to cancel my application. And I did, a cancellation receipt was also provided to me.  Now, I applied for a new passport in 2010 in Ghaziabad passport office. And after 3-4 months, I got my passport without any issues.  After 1 year, in 2012, I got a mail saying that your passport has been dispatched from Lucknow passport office. I was shocked to see this, as I cancelled the application already.  Now, I have two passports. Is it illegal, what should one do in such scenario? I need to travel to the United States in June 2013, please suggest.

My wife is travelling from Philadelphia to India in January 2019 and, on her outbound trip, she will only have 50 days validity left on her passport. However, while in India, she will be renewing her passport. The reply from a similar question seems to answer point 1 below, but I wanted a second opinion to be sure.  Here are the questions we have:  Can she travel from the US to India via Doha, Qatar with passport validity of only 50 days? Can we make a reservation on Qatar Airways for the roundtrip travel using her current passport and before the return from India to the US update passport information on the reservation?

I have a Vietnamese passport. I'm planning to visit Vietnam on July 7th and be back in the Czech Republic (in Schengen area) on August 29th. My visa is a multiple-entry, long-term, D type visa (for study purposes) and the expiration date is September 10th. I am afraid that the boarding officer will not allow me to enter EU since the arrival is so close to the expiration date.   Is it OK for me to enter Schengen on August 29th when I have only 12 days left until visa expiration?

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?
