Bobby B asked:
I am going to China on April 2 with a school group. I got my visa a little bit ago. Then a few days ago, I found out about having 6 months left on your passport. I’ve gotten two different answers. One says that the 6 months have to be there on the day you apply for the visa, which is true for me. The other answer says that I have to have 6 months left on the day of entry into the country, which is bad considering I’ll have just less than 5 months. On the Chinese consulate embassy website, it only talks about having 6 months when you apply for the visa. But the travel agent said they still might turn me away, or otherwise just give me a stern lecture. I’m wondering if anyone knows if you have to have the 6 months left when you apply for the visa or when you enter the country? That would be a huge help! Thanks!

It’s standard to have six months left on your passport to enter the country. Your travel agent is right, you need to renew your pasport now.
There are certain Asian countries like the Philippines or Singapore that require a six months passport validation. For China you only need the six months passport validation at the time of the visa application, for the actual travel is suffices to have a valid passport.

You need to get a new passport NOW as you don’t want to be turned away at Immigration just because you did’nt bother to renew you PP.
Have a good time.
