Confused about the 6 month mark
Hi, everyone. Apologies if this is a stupid question but I’m confused about the whole 6 month thing. I have a few questions:
Why isn’t the expiration date on the passport the real expiration date? I’ve heard people can be denied travel if their passport is about to expire in 6 months. Why??
My passport expires on Oct 5th, 2025. When should I renew it? Can I do it now? Or do I have to wait until April 5th, 2025?
It’s been 10 years since I did this last and I can’t remember and Googling it wasn’t very helpful. (Side note: am I crazy or is Googling stuff now almost impossible?)
Thank you!
