Travel Information

For those that are planning to join us on the 2014 Peru mission trip, or taking any trip in the near future, Randy Ross has some valuable information to share below.

The following information is from the U.S. State Department:

How long is a passport valid and when should I renew my passport?

"If possible, you should renew your passport approximately nine months before it expires. Some countries require that your passport be valid at least six months beyond the dates of your trip. Some airlines will not allow you to board if this requirement is not met."

I have done a little research and cannot find that Peru requires that a passport for a tourist be valid for six (6) months after entering the country. Rather it would seem to be that the requirement is ninety (90) days, the length of time a tourist can stay in Peru.

I have checked a few airline websites (American, Delta and United) as well. Delta recommends the six (6) months while American and United suggest that you check the individual county's entry requirements.

Thanks.

Randy
