| Mar 23, 2022 at 16:33 | comment | added | jwenting | @PeterM OP mentioned he'd already contacted the airline and they said they were ok with it, so that wasn't a topic worthy of mention in this specific case | |
| Mar 22, 2022 at 17:29 | comment | added | Peter M | @jwenting yes I know you only mentioned countries. My point was that it's a oversimplification that only considers one aspect of traveling with an expired passport, when in fact red reality is that there are other factors that come into play in such cases. | |
| Mar 22, 2022 at 16:08 | comment | added | jwenting | @PeterM country of departure couldn't care less. Country of arrival may care very much, and as the airline can get fined for allowing you on the flight with invalid papers (at least some countries do this) the airline has reason to care as well. E.g. I've left my home country for Canada a few years ago and never had border control check my passport at all (they checked whether my boarding pass was ok for the concourse and whether I had a passport at all only), but the airline checked quite thoroughly, including looking up whether I had a valid ETA (Canada's equivalent to the US ESTA). | |

Indeed airlines care (because the destination or transit countries care), but the country you're leaving from (i.e. the border control officer at the exit passport control) shouldn't care much. But I've never been in that situation, so I can't say for certain. For all we know, as soon as they scan the passport (to retrieve the immigration record) the system may beep to the end of time and refuse any further processing :-/ | |
| Mar 22, 2022 at 13:44 | comment | added | Peter M | @jwenting I think that's an oversimplification. EG Airlines do care about the status of your passport, because they don't want to put you on a flight where you can't be admitted to the country at the other end. And an expired passport may preclude you from obtaining a required transit visa depending on your itinerary. However in this particular case the OP has verified with Emirates that it is not a problem. | |

| Mar 22, 2022 at 12:03 | comment | added | jwenting | indeed, countries typically don't care about the status of your passport when you're leaving, as long as you have no criminal proceedings going on against you and no outstanding fines to pay they typically are happy to see you go. | |
| Mar 22, 2022 at 11:55 | comment | added | jcaron | I think this is enough of an edge case that the only way to get an answer would be by trying to call them. My personal guess is that their only concern on exit is to find the record of the visa or ETA they are on, but this is really just a guess. | |
