I went with my son earlier this year. To my horror before we left he told me his passport expired in 3 months, couldn’t get an appointment for a new one, took the chance and immigration never mentioned it.

Always better to be safe than sorry but if you have a flight home before it gets close to running out you will probably be ok.

As the others have said, get through before midnight, once you are airside I believe you have technically left as you can’t come back through without an escort. So I think you would be good to go.

I went for a one entry 90 day visa, a couple of years ago now but didn’t take that long to complete as far as I remember.
Chris *******
Just buy a visa for one of the trips then no problem. It’s not as if it breaks the bank and only takes a few minutes to do 🤷‍♂️

Just go on the website and get yourself a 90 day none immigrant visa and that should cover you.

It’s usually a one entry only but having to mess around going to immigration after 60 days and paying fees.

@Jan *****************
why do you need to do a border bounce every 180 days, I believe you can extend for 180 days on each visit so a border bounce is only requires every 360 days 🤷‍♂️
Chris *******
Yes you do, while in the hotels they will do it for you but when you return back to your normal place then you are required to do a new tm30

That’s what the immigration told me I had to do
Chris *******
Yes buy a 3 month one entry visa before you go
Chris *******
That is definitely workable and how I would do it if I didn’t have a dtv but it looks like the 60 day will be reduced to 30 days so you may only get 5 months this way by the time the first 90 days is done it could be changed. Who knows 🤷‍♂️
Chris *******
Yes I’ve left several times and returned. Actually just returned yesterday. Showed passport and dtv visa and stamped through no problem
