Is it possible to fly to Egypt if the validity of the passport expires after 6 months and 6 days from the date of the planned return from vacation?
We booked a hotel in Egypt from September 22 to October 3, 2019. And when buying a ticket, we found out that the validity of the passport expires on April 9, 2020. This is practically on the verge of the allowed validity period of a passport for obtaining a visa in Egypt .. Ie. a minimum of 6 months from the last day of rest is required. And in our case, it takes 6 months and 6 days .. is it possible to fly with such a passport ?? Of course, you don't want any problems. There is no time to change to a new one at all. Because you need to buy tickets for the necessary flights, there are very few tickets left .. thanks in advance ..

In order not to get into such situations (and such a requirement for many countries), I immediately, in a leisurely mode, apply for a new one. We are allowed to have two international passports. But in your case, there will definitely be no problems, so I recommend applying for a new passport, but for now, calmly rest on this passport.

By the way, yes. If you only check before your vacation until what date the foreigner is valid, it’s better to apply for a second passport right now. And the current one after Egypt can be thrown away or put on a shelf as a souvenir, with a validity period of less than 6 months it is already practically useless.

mindguru, for me, as well as for the majority at the moment, when there was no need to obtain visas to the European Union (it is for these cases that it is allowed to have so many passports), two are completely, therefore, the number two was announced.

To be precise, the validity of a passport after the end of a trip to different countries is also different. For example, to Israel, Turkey, Australia, Great Britain, the Dominican Republic, India, Canada, China, Cuba, the UAE, Sweden, Serbia, etc. - 6 months.
To Austria, Armenia, Bulgaria, Vietnam, Germany, Holland, Greece, Georgia, Spain, Italy, Spain, Cyprus, Norway, Poland, Seychelles, France, Montenegro, Switzerland, etc. - 3 months.
But for a trip to Egypt, 2 months are enough before the expiration date of the passport. So the vehicle has no 6 days left, but 4 months and 6 days.

Olgaolga153, from which normative act do you take the lines you specified? If you can, give the name of the normative act or a link to the official website where the document is posted.

Actually, Al-la asked a very correct question. It is necessary to be guided by OFFICIAL information, otherwise you can read such nonsense on the websites of travel agencies.
Egypt requires a passport to be valid for at least 6 months on the end date of the trip. This information is a visit to the website of the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, in my opinion, this is a more reliable source, Cobalt Tour.

yla_ru, a strange stewardess of course. Starting with the fact that her task, having seen the availability of tickets, is to help the tourist find a place according to the boarding passes. And it is absolutely not her function to check the passport and count how many months are left until the passport expires. This is the function of the border guards. And even more so, it is not in her competence to make decisions to allow you on the plane or not, if the tourist has everything in order with the boarding document.

Yes, I wrote nonsense. Indeed, there cannot be one normative act that would establish the minimum period of validity of a passport for traveling to foreign countries. Olgaolga153, thanks for the link. As for the OFFICIAL websites, I did not find any information on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.

In the next question, the man talked about the situation. His friend was released with a child outside of Ukraine on the basis of a birth certificate, although by law they were not supposed to. Following the example of a friend, he also decided to take his child out with a birth certificate, and he was not released.
Moral: there are always cases of luck, but there are no guarantees that this luck will not end on you.
