I heard that my passport needs to expire 6 months after my return date from my pilgrimage. Is this true?

Yes! Several countries enforce a rule that permits entry only if your passport remains valid for six months beyond your intended departure from their territory. It is important to check the expiration date well in advance of your pilgrimage to allow sufficient time for passport renewal if needed. We recommend checking your passport as soon as you register for a pilgrimage.

To inspect your passport, you just need to look at the expiration date on your physical passport. The expiration date is usually located on the data page, which includes your photo and personal details. Look for the "Date of Expiry" or a similar heading.
