hi i'm travelling to new york for 1 weeks stay on the 24/5/07

my current passport expires february 2008

will my passport be ok for this trip.... i know this probably seems a dumb question but not being a seasoned traveller i am just double checking that there are know rules for how long until passport expires etc!

would appreciate quick reply as booking tickets tonight!
 
Yes your ok

Your passport has to have at least six months before expiry to enter the US
 
yes its fine, you not going to work so you don't need a visa or anything. also I am assuming your british.

another question (lurking in the back of my mind) I will be staying at my friends apartment in manhatten and therefore won't have any evidence to show immigration where i am going to be staying i.e. hotel reservations etc.....perhaps worth getting my friend to drop me a confirming email (or am i getting a bit paranoid)

last thing i need is a stretch in guantanamo! :)

They may ask where you're staying and to know about where that person lives, what they do and how long you've known them etc. An email wouldn't hurt, but I'd only show them if they asked for it.

When you fill out the green card on the plane as you are arriving in NY, you will need to fill out the address of the friend you are staying with. This will cover everything.

You do not need a confirmation e-mail. To be honest, it would be useless as there is no way to prove it is genuine.

Why on earth do you need 6 months on your passport? Surely it's valid or it isn't? :confused:
 
I was recently informed that to go to Peru via New York Newark I would need a passport with a "chip" in it, and also the photograph needed to not be "stuck in", but properly printed. I was due a new passport anyway, so got a new one last week, but you might want to check it out.
