UK Passport With Less Than 6 Months
I live in New York and have a greencard. I have to go to UK this month (May 08) but realised my passport expires in Oct 08.
I only have 10 days before I travel and cant find a service that expedites passports renewals quickly enough (if you know somewhere please let me know). But my main question is, can I leave and come back to US with 5 months left on my passport? I think I read somewhere you are supposed to have 6 months but hope I am wrong! thanks |

I don't think there is the six month requirement, so u should be set...

Re: UK Passport With Less Than 6 Months
The UK and USA authority's usually set a six month period minimum on your passport befpre they will allow you to travel but as you have a green card you might be ok :confused:
You would be very wise to call or email the British embassy or USCIS for proper info :) |

Even as a tourist, it would not be a problem (it would only act to limit the period of admission). |

Re: UK Passport With Less Than 6 Months
The "six months" only applies if you are applying for a visa, they insist that you have at least 6 months left on your passport before they will glue the visa into it.
For general travel after you already have your visa, it's no problem having less time left on it. |
Re: UK Passport With Less Than 6 Months
The United States has reciprocal agreements with most countries, including the U. K., to honor their passports for six months beyond the stated expiration date. If the person has a green card he is not required to have a passport at all.

A valid Form I-551("Green Card") is the only document needed to enter the United States, and a legal permanent resident is not required to continue to hold a passport from his country. What other countries require of such a person applying for admission is another story.

That's something of a letdown. I was hoping to start an argument.
