I'm not the sharpest knife around here, so be patient with me.

What purpose is accomplished by artificially shaving several months off the passport's validity (by requiring it be valid for several months or no entry, even when the visit is for a weekend)??

So a 10 year passport is really only good for 9.5 years. What immigration objective is served by such foolishness?

Why not just demand that travelers tell immigration (on the way in) the date of scheduled departure, and if the passport is valid for THAT number of days, then entry is permitted?
