- Date checks only: visas, nationality exceptions, residence rights, passport condition, transit and airline requirements are not assessed. Entry is not guaranteed.
- Calendar months retain the day number where possible; otherwise use the last day of the target month. Confirm exact month-end cases with the destination authority.
Last checked 2026-11-14. Rules change, sometimes at short notice. We list the date we last checked each official source; confirm with the official government source before you travel, buy or file. This is general information, not legal or immigration advice.
How it works
Schengen: add three calendar months to final departure, and check entry is before the tenth anniversary of issue. Singapore: add six calendar months to arrival. Also check the passport covers the whole trip. These are the official rules checked on 14 November 2026; their original commencement dates are not established here.
required expiry = reference date + calendar months
Dates use UTC without time-of-day rounding. If the target month lacks the original day, use its last day. This is a calendar-arithmetic convention, not a ruling on a borderline passport; confirm month-end travel with the authority. These profiles do not assess residence permits, EU free-movement rights or Singapore citizen documents.
Worked examples
Schengen departure on 15 December
Arrival 1 December 2026 and departure 15 December 2026 require expiry on or after 15 March 2027. A passport issued 1 January 2020 and expiring 15 March 2027 meets both date checks.
Singapore arrival on 14 November
Arrival 14 November 2026 with departure 20 November requires expiry on or after 14 May 2027. Expiry on 13 May 2027 misses the check by one day.
