Dear friends, Greetings! I have a query regarding validity of my sons' passport for international travel. I am working in Oman and having a valid employment visa till September 2015. My wife and children also have valid visa till April 2016. My both sons are having passports valid till middle of February 2015. My family has scheduled to travel from India to Oman in January 2015. I have overheard from someone that anybody wish to travel international should have passport valid for another 6 months. Even after searching several websites, it is written that the 6 months validity is mandatory to apply for first time visa but nowhere I could see about my situation. I am confused here. Will be glad if someone can guide. Thanks & Regards
