6 month rule passports ( USA)
Feb 11, 2015, 6:05 PM

I gentleman I work with just returned from a vacation in Jamaica. He first went to Miami, and then was to fly to Montego Bay. His passport was going to expire in 3 months from his travel dates, and he was unable to board his flight. He was informed by airport security that Jamaica has a 6 month rule for passports. Meaning if your passport is to expire in 6 months or sooner, you can not fly to that country.

I just did a search of this on the forum ( because I had never heard of it before), and there has been discussions of this subject in the past . However, several of the posts state that Jamaica does not have the 6 month rule. Here is what I found on the internet:

So just a warning to travelers, check your passport expiration, and if you thought you did not have to because of traveling to Jamaica, I just want you to know you are wrong.

The man I work with was able to go to a Passport office in MIami, obtain a passport and fly out several days later. However, what a extra cost and hassle.
