You need to check the restrictions for that particular country, however many will not let you enter if there is less than 6 months left. This is especially true post 9/11.

Not sure about your rules but here in Australia, we must have 6 months left on our passport from our planned return date to Australia. So, if we are going on holiday from 10 August - 20 August we would not be permitted to board the plane if our passport was expiring before 20 February 2007.

You need to check with the consulate/embassy of the countries you will be visiting. Some countries are funny about people entering their borders if their passports are expiring within 6 months. You'll probably be fine, but I would check just in case.

Most countries in the EU require that your passport be valid for 6 months from the date you arrive. You can get an expedited passport renewal, it just costs more. Go to www.state.gov.

Some countries say 6 months many more say 3 months. A great many also insist you have a valid ticket to leave within that time.
If you got delayed you would have to send your passport off to get it renewed and in the period without one you would be stateless!
Be really safe and renew your passport now.

Just make sure you get back before your passport expire. Incidentally ... Should you wish to travel to the USA check out with the US Embassy as they have either or are going to shortly, refuse entrance to anyone who doesn't hold the new passport (Eye/bar code etc.

depends on the country you are going to. see below:
Some countries require that your U.S. passport be valid at least 6 months or longer beyond the dates of your trip. If your passport expires before the required validity, you will have to apply for a new one. Please check with the Embassy or nearest Consulate of the country that you plan to visit for their requirements.
check the link below to find the requirements for each country and how to contact them.

I don't think so. I know some countries require 6 months to be left on it. Some countries like the Ukraine, Bulgaria, etc. don't require one.
I'd check with whatever countries embassy you are thinking of visiting.

most places require 6 months for new visas. If it is just a short trip it might be okay to some countries, but many want at least 6 months.
