Passport validity
Posted date : Dec 16, 2025.
I have a flight booked to California from mid-November to mid-February. I believe a shortly expiring passport can be a reason to decline entry. My passport expires in August 2026 and I’m wondering whether this expiry is far enough out.

Ed.: Canadian citizens visiting the United States have to have a valid passport for the duration of their visit. Visitors to the U.S. who are citizens of other countries have to have a passport that is valid for six months beyond their anticipated date of departure from the U.S.
