Entry with passport expiring in 5 months
I have to go on a last minute trip, and it just occurred to me I have less than 6 months on my passport (will be 5 when I leave). Because of the holiday, the passport office can't see me until Monday - and I'm leaving Tuesday. I'm inclined to try and talk me way through when I get there, but United said they won't even let me board.
So, do I have any options? Does the embassy give any sort of exemption visa? Any other suggestions?
