    Hi,

    We’ll be in Switzerland from July 18th – July 21st then in Italy until taking return flight to USA on July 25th. My 9-years old son’s USA passport is expiring on Jan 8, 2020. What is Switzerland passport validity requirement? Will we be fine OR need to renew his passport before travel?

    Thanks.

    Hello,

    You are lucky that the Swiss don’t put up all kinds of red tape for Americans the way the USA does for Swiss coming to visit America. And it all costs money to the traveler.
