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

Can a EU citizen visit the US on a passport that expires the same month they are visiting?

Visiting: 26th of oct - 9th of Nov

Visa is valid until: 12th of November

Passport is valid until: 22th of November

I realize there is information about this here: http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2014/09/231319.htm and that this question is a duplicate of Can an EU national travel to the US on an EU passport that expires in 2 months?.

However the answer given & information on this page states something about US citizens visiting EU, not the other way around. Do EU citizens visiting the US also need to have a passport that has a validation longer than 6 months?

I checked all Dutch documentation I could find on this, they have great lists of what countries require 3 or 6 months validity, but the US is in none of them. Does this mean there is no validity requirement?

This Dutch website claims I can travel as long as I leave the country before my passport expires. But it is no official source.

Also, the answer quotes this part:

However, the US has signed agreements with a number of countries to waive this requirement.

And the given link goes to a 404 page. How do I find out what countries are waived? I will be visiting from The Netherlands.

The reason why I am asking by the way is because if I do need a new passport, I also need a new ESTA. And this means no returning esta line access, extra costs and extra time.

Best Answer

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.

Answer: Your passport is valid until the date of expiration. The only problem may be the entry requirements of the country or countries you plan to visit. Many countries require your passport have 3 to 6 months validity remaining before they will allow you to enter or issue a travel visa.
