Coss Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 For travel Bkk - Sin - Akl - the passport expires in September. It's a NZ passport. Is the six months validity, a stringent rule, or as the holder is returning to the home country, will most countries allow transit? Any opinions welcome.

Coss Posted May 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Well it's been VTE - BKK - VTE via land crossing with only 5 months on it. Valid visa for Laos in it until 2015, despite it expiring in Sept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Munchmaster Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Surely if returning to ones own country the 6 month rule would not apply?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
