Common questions
What does "6 months validity" mean?
It means your passport must not expire before a set date, usually 6 months after a trip date. That is not the same as having 6 months left today. 6 of the 13 destinations we list ask for 6 months. Where a start point exists it is counted from your arrival, your departure and no stated start point.
Why does the rule differ by country?
Each country sets its own rule, and each official page words it differently. United Kingdom, United States and Japan ask only that your passport is valid for your stay.
Do blank pages matter?
Some countries ask for blank pages for the visa or entry stamp. Vietnam, Georgia, Schengen area and Japan mention blank pages on their official pages. Open the result for your destination to see the exact wording.
Does the rule depend on my visa type?
It can. Some pages state the rule for one route only. For example: Indonesia (online visa applications), Vietnam (e-visa applications) and Azerbaijan (e-visa). The result shows which route a rule is stated for.
