I'm looking for a Caribbean location to travel to from SF next month but here's the problem....?

Question

I just applied for my passport (first time) and will be getting it in a week. I can't go to aruba since they want us citizens to atleast have their passport for 3 months before travelling.

I need to know first: Any island which will not require a US citizen to apply for visa.

2nd Question:The island travelling to should not have any sort of rules regarding how long I had the passport in my possesion.

Please help...really appreciate it.

Answer 1

You read that wrong, you must have at least 3 months LEFT on your passport. (Travel Document) You fill out a form on the plane. You don't have to apply for a visa.
