If you’re a USA passport holder and your document expires in 2016, you could be in for a roller-coaster ride. Thanks to Caleb, who gave us the heads-up via this article…

Our quick searches were not able to verify this information directly from the State Department… and of course, if you’re a citizen of another country (as are roughly half of all Brigada participants), this is fairly irrelevant, but still — if you’re one of those 20 million people who will need to apply this year (Doug is), better give it some extra time. The typical 2 to 6 weeks just might not be enough. : )
Great advice but TOO late.
I arrived in INDO three weeks ago and the Immigration officer pointed out, your USA Passport had expired 18mo ago.
Thankfully a dual citizen so switched to my Aussie, with much embracement and $55 poorer (fee required of Aussies, not Yanks)
