Right now, some American passports are being rejected, even if theyâre still valid. According to CNBC, despite the passport renewal process returning to normal after a rocky 2023, some travelers with American passports that are close to expiring (but havenât expired yet) are still being turned away from other countries. Donât expect this EPCOT passport to get you very far! Some countries, especially several in Europe, require American passports to be valid for 90 days BEYOND the end of your trip. This includes France, so if youâre planning a trip to Disneyland Paris any time soon, keep this fact in mind. Disneyland Paris Many Asian countries also require at least six months of validity for permission to enter, per the U.S. Department of State. Some places like Hong Kong require one month, so if youâre traveling to Tokyo Disney, Shanghai Disney, or Hong Kong Disneyland, you should become familiar with their respective countryâs passport rules before you go.

This is a way for country governments to avoid any passport and visa complications. Speaking of visas, certain countries are also requiring Americans to purchase visas for entry. All of this info and the rules of specific countries can be found on the U.S. Department of State website (check under the âLearn About Your Destinationâ section!).
