Hello, would appreciate your valuable insight on this: I will be travelling with my two young sons on 26th Oct to Bangkok Don Mueang from Bali (where we live) for a one week stay. We hold Swiss passports and will therefore get visa exemption on arrival. But : my sons passports' validity both expire on 19 Feb 2020 and mine on 12 Apr 2020, i.e. all our passports have less than 6-months validity. Do you know whether this will be a problem at immigration, would they not allow us entry in Thailand? If so, I would have the possibility to get temporary passports for all of us which I believe would be valid for a year. Could I successfully enter Thailand with those? Thanks for your help.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The inquiry discusses potential passport validity issues for a Swiss family traveling to Thailand. They hold passports expiring within six months of their entry date. The community responds that while Thai immigration might permit entry, many airlines enforce a stricter six-month validity rule for boarding. It is advised to obtain new passports to avoid issues and ensure smooth travel.
