đ Your Passport Could Be the Reason You Never Board Your Flight
Imagine arriving at the airport with everything packed.
Your flights are paid for.
Your hotel is booked.
Your excitement is through the roof.
Then, at check-in, youâre told:
âIâm sorry, your passport doesnât meet the entry requirements.â
Many travellers believe that as long as their passport hasnât expired, theyâre ready to travel.
Unfortunately, thatâs not always true.
Many countries require your passport to remain valid for at least six months beyond your planned return date. Others also require a certain number of blank pages for immigration stamps.
Ignoring these requirements could mean:
â Being denied boarding by your airline
â Being refused entry at your destination
â Losing money on non-refundable flights and accommodation
â Missing the holiday youâve been looking forward to
