Re: passport and 6 month rule
It's not really a rule in many places more of guidance. If you are there and get injured or sick then you may find yourself also needing a new passport to get home.
I travelled back to the UK in November with my son for a long weekend. I knew my passport was good. I got a new 10yr before I moved here. Checking in at the airport was fine also. Got to the baggage drop and they asked when I was planning on returning. Sunday, why? Oh your sons passport expires on Tuesday!
That was a close one.
And my son as a 5yr old dual national I think I just spent nearly $400 renewing both his passports and will be doing the same again in 5 years and again in 5 years and then he will be 15 and still not entitled to a 10 year passport so doing the same again in 5 years. Expensive this passport stuff.
