Travelling to US in August for 3 days; UK passport expires in October. Problem or not problem?

[IScreamAtMichaelangelos]

As the subject line says really!

I have been approved for an ESTA and my UK passport is valid for the duration of my US trip. Both the UK and US websites indicate there is no reason I won't be allowed into the US, but I am nervous about the fact that my passport is due to expire in Oct 2023. Has anyone got experience of this causing problems? Am I worrying unnecessarily?

Thanks for any help!

No, you only need your passport to be valid for the duration of your stay for the USA.

Have a great time!

agree with @LG93

Passport Validity
With the exception of passport holders of Brunei the requirement that a passport be valid for six months beyond the holders stay in the United States is waived. If your passport is valid for less than 90 days, you will be admitted into the United States until the date on which the passport expires. Note: Citizens of Brunei are not covered by this ruling and must be in possession of passports valid for at least six months from the date on which they depart the United States, regardless of their proposed length of stay.

Passport needs to be valid for duration of stay, no longer.

Thanks all :)

I guess it's more of an irrational question than anything, since I've checked those links before. I just wanted to know of people who'd been in the same situation and breezed through without an issue I think!

Hi OP, did you get through okay with your passport?

Having same worry at the moment with daughter’s passport!

Thanks!

Went through without a hitch!

Also, I sent my passport off for renewal literally the morning I returned (Tues Aug 29th) and got my new one Thurs 7th Sept 😯blistering speed at the moment!

I hope your daughter gets through smoothly and all goes well :)

Thanks so much! Glad you got through okay!
