Passport

USA Passport Sample

It is a legal certificate issued by one's mother country to testify its owner's nationality and identity when crossing one country's frontier into another for travel, work and residence overseas. Actually the word "passport" in English means the pass of a port. In other words, It is the proof for a citizen to go through the international ports of all countries. Some countries may issue a kind of general credentials to replace it.
 

For international travel across borders, a citizen must possess a legitimate one which issued by his own country's government, and simultaneously, an effective visa to your destination country is also often required.

If you should have an accident during the period of travel or residence abroad, the host country should first confirm your status and nationality according to your passport, and then decide what to do next and how to handle it well. Similarly, the country which issued it and its embassy or consulate stationed abroad also has to decide how to offer help or diplomatic protection.

Hi, I need to travel to Hong Kong and maybe Macau, I was born in Macau but have portuguese nationality. My passport expires in less than 6 months, I don't have time to renew it as this is a matter of urgency, I wonder if I can get in without having problems. I am possibly going for 1 to 2 weeks. thank you

 Answered by Mr. JOHNNASH
You won't face any problems, one with at least 6 months validity is required when you apply for visa, however, you don't need a visa to Hong Kong or Macau, the one with 1 month validity beyond the intended stay is accepted by immigration officers of Hong Kong & Macau.
