TCI passport question---fast answer please
 
We are flying to Provo in 6 weeks.March 19, 2012

I just noticed that our passports expire in Aug 5, 2012 which is 5 months out.

Will that be OK or should we try to get a quick renewal?

t&c does not require your passport to be 6 months until expiration - which is what you're thinking about. so you should be good to go 8-)

Thanks virginia---I looked through the website you included but really couldn't find T&C in particular. On another site I thought that I saw where you needed a 6 mo. passport for T&C. Now I'm confused & worried. Should I be?

on above site click where it says 'foreign entry requirements' in blue.
at the top of that page click 'tahiti to virgin islands,british'
at the top of that page click 'turks & caicos' <if they had the 5 or 6 month requirement it would state so in this box.
if you're still not sure their final sentence "Visit the Embassy of the United Kingdom web site for the most current visa information." or phone a branch of UK embassy and ask them.
hope this helps reassure you.

This will be our 4th trip to Ocean Club West and we can't wait to get back.

BTW, virginia. I looked at your profile and noticed that you like Secret Harbour. If it's the same Secret Harbour that we went to on the East end of St. Thomas, we love it also. Small world!
