Question

i am going to usa on 19nov08 but my passport expires 13june09 do i have to renew it or will it still be valid,i am a uk citizen,i will be in usa for 1week,any info will be greatly appreciated thankyou

Answer 1

hi there I work for BA in check in and the regulations on UK passports going to the USA is it must be valid for the period of intended stay u dont need to have 6 months left that ruling ended a while ago as long as u dont overstay the duration of your passport you will be fine. Also be aware of the new procedures for travel to the usa from this month if your travelling on the visa waiver scheme (the green forms) you now need to apply for permission to enter the USA this will be mandatory from Jan next year but if you apply for it now its valid for 2 years. If you go to our website www.ba.com it will take you to the link for the American embassy to apply for the permission. Once you have this granted you need to present a copy of it to the airline as proof that your granted to enter the USA. If your denied or fail to present it to the airline you will be denied travel as there will be no exceptions once it becomes mandatory to have this.

Hope this helps

hey, you should be fine, you have until 09 to use that passport, plus you are only going to the usa for a week so its not like it will run out while you are there! you should ask your travel provider just to be sure but I'm 99% sure you will not have to renew that passport just yet! bon voyage x
