NON-IMMIGRANT VISAS

Countries with agreements with the United States to extend passport validity for an additional six months

If you are a passport holder from anyone of the following countries, you are not required to have a valid for six months beyond your date of departure from the United States.

Your passport must be valid on entry into the U.S. If the passport is not valid for the duration of your stay, you will be required to apply for a new passport while in the U.S. If your visit will be short and your passport will expire while there, we recommend that you obtain a new passport before traveling as you will be admitted only until the date on which the passport expires. A new passport will save you the inconvenience of applying not only for a new passport, but also for an extension of stay.
