I may be going to the US for work at the beginning of April, but my passport runs out in August. It appears that the >6 months validity does not apply to UK passports anymore :confused:

Can anyone confirm? I already have an ESTA from a previous trip so I'd rather not have to get another ESTA, and also lose 6 months of my lovely red passport for no reason... :o

For certain nationalities, the passport or other travel document must be valid for at least six months beyond the proposed stay in the United States. The six-month requirement does not apply to United Kingdom passports.

Yeah. Surely it’s the getting in to the US which counts - and their website specifies that UK passports don’t need 6 months.

Hmm. Would be helpful if my boss would decide quickly whether or not I’m going :o I see the passport office has moved to the darkest depths of east London so I really don’t fancy doing an emergency run there…
