“6 months” and “3 months” are commonly seen examples, not the rule of any particular country. Check official sources for which condition applies (for example counted from entry or from departure).
How to use
- Enter the passport expiry date and the departure date (the day you enter the destination). The return date is optional.
- See the validity left on the departure and return dates and whether “6+ months” and “3+ months” are met.
- If an official source gives a required number of months, enter it to check that condition as well.
FAQ
Does this tool tell me whether I can enter a country?
No. It only calculates dates and does not assess entry eligibility. Required validity depends on the destination, transit points, nationality and more, and can change, so always check the destination’s official information.
How is “6+ months left” checked?
The reference date (departure or return) plus 6 months is calculated (using the last day of the month if that day does not exist). If the expiry date is on or after it, the rule is shown as met. Countries may count differently.
Notes & limitations

- Visas, blank passport pages and other entry requirements are not checked.
