Is a passport with 6 months validity sufficient to enter Thailand?

@Megan ****************

really this is cutting it really really fine. Get a new passport whilst on holiday....

If you have less than six months left on your passport, you cannot enter Thailand. In your case maybe ok, maybe not.

No

Make very sure the expiry date is 10 years from the issue date. Some passports show an expiry date longer than 10 years based on the expiry of the previous passport if the current passport was issued early. So check the Issue date in the passport was 16 June 2014. If it was before that he can be denied boarding.

Kool....im doing similar

Too many fools giving advice about which they have opinions but no facts.

6 months validity from date of arrival. You JUST make it by a day. But could be wiser to renew asap.

See attached from Thai embassy website, I was also under the impression that you were ok with less than 6 months but it say it is required. My missus has renewed her passport to enter Australia again as it would have only been 5 months. Her Aust visa actually says to have 6 months.

Apply for a new passport, it doesn't take long to get a new one and u dont need to worry.

U will have to have a new passport anyway.

You will be okay

Should be sweet! If you get asked just tell them "mai pen rai".

Why not apply for new passport in advance

We had 6 months on our passports on the way out to Thailand but didn't have 6 months on return by one day last month and our airline wouldn't let us check in online as our passports weren't valid for 6 months even though we were leaving Thailand and going back to UK, we had a right faff on at the airport trying to check in. You might get in with no issues but take it first hand you might have issues leaving as we did just last month. Its up to the airlines whether they'll let you travel or not will less than 6 months on your passport. We flew home from thailand on 16th Nov and our passports ran out on 15th May. We were told that if our airline refused to let ur travel as we didn't have 6 months left we would have to go to the British embassy for an emergency passport and we would have had to pay for 2 new flights home, we were staying in phuket. If you can get a replacement passport, I would recommend it to have peace of mind and not face the issues we did.

In no particular order.

Option 1. Order fast tracked new passport. Takes 48hrs. If you’re in London and it won’t be busy in winter but summer yes. Money talks and will blow away you worries

Option 2. Wing it. These things in practice are 100% at discretion of the man or woman you have at immigration

Option 3. Check with the Thai embassy. Send them an email. They are fast to reply

Get a new one then no need to sweat it

Just about 😀

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Shouldn't be an issue but like anything it's at the sole discretion of the Immigration officer you are standing in front of.

You'll get to Thailand okay, but if you are planning travel to other countries you could have problems.

Depends how be long you’re going for?

Very poor planning at best 😎

You are departing on the 15th so your boyfriend’s passport has 6 months validity left. You should have no issues with the airline for that. Thai immigration generally won’t give a monkeys about it.

Check Thailand’s rules. Many countries use the 6 month period from when you depart, not when you arrive.

Unlikely

Just hope there’s no delays

Just! Makes it by one day!

yes, ok
