Travelling to the us with a eu passport that expires weeks after return

Accepted answer

You do not need a 6 month validity on your dutch passport to visit the USA.

No. The United States and The Netherlands have a bilateral agreement whereby Dutch passports are recognized as valid for return to The Netherlands for a period of six months beyond the expiration date specified in the passport (and vice versa for American passports). However, the passport must still be valid for the length of the proposed trip. Thus, if planning a two month stay, the passport presented at the airport must be valid for at least that two month period, but does not have to be still valid for six months.

I actually got the answer from a friend, so I decided to post it here in case anyone is wondering the same.

The Netherlands is on the list of countries that are waived for the requirement.

So, if you're visiting the US from The Netherlands, your passport does not need to be valid for 6 months. However, you must assure that your passport is valid until after your return.
