We love traveling here at AllEars and we know that comes as no surprise for our audience! With the Disney International Parks getting new lands, fun menu items, and even new rides, we are often planning our next international vacation appropriately.
And, if you’re getting ready to venture out on an international trip, you need to know about this major passport PROBLEM happening now!
According to CNBC, Passport processing times are back to pre-pandemic levels after experiencing big delays in 2023.
As of December 2023, passport processing times are 6-8 weeks for routine service and 2-3 weeks for expedited service.
This isn’t all! Check to see if your passport is close to expiring because certain countries require Americans to have at least a few months of validity remaining on their passport in order to travel to that location!
As an example, many countries in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East regions require American travelers to have at least 6 months left of validity on their passports. Other areas like Hong Kong require at least 1 month!
For more specific passport validity information, you can visit the US State Department website.
Don’t mind us, we’ll be off to check our passports to make sure they’re not expired! Stay tuned to AllEars for more travel news!
