U.S. Consulate: No more travelling on expired passports

[JD Jones]

I got a message on Instagram today from the Consulate. Apparently in the past you could travel to the U.S. with an expired passport.

Starting 1 July, you will no longer be able to do so.

Check those passports!

Unless you apply for extension, you can.

So even though having an expired passport PROVES that you are a US citizen you cannot enter the US? Free Country or Police State?

That is what your comrades used to say in the Soviet Union. For me, I like it right here in the DR where rules are made to be broken......................

Return Travel on Recently Expired U.S. Passports - United States Department of State

To alleviate travel difficulties and unprecedented appointment backlogs created by the global COVID-19 pandemic, the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security are working together to facilitate U.S. citizens’ return to the United States.

www.state.gov

U.S. citizens currently overseas whose passports expired on or after January 1, 2020, may be able to use their expired U.S. passport for direct return travel to the United States until December 31, 2021

The US Consulate seems to be running on Dominican Time for this one.

I tried to leave the DR a couple of weeks ago using my DR passport. They would not let me use it to board an American Airlines flight from POP to MIA.
Rules was rules in that case.

Of course you could not use it. The US would not let you enter with it without a Visa. Blame the US not the DR..........

You are not for having and enforcing rules now?

FYI this was posted Dec. 28, 2021, so almost 6 months ago if not also well before that.

It popped up on my IG on their feed yesterday. Maybe they're repeating it.

I was leaving the DR, when I got off the plane at MIA I absolutely would have to use my US passport when clearing USA immigration.
DR Migracion just took my US passport and scanned it after I redid the E-Ticket. And yes they did say it was because my DR passport had no US Visa.
Rules is rules. I didn't blame anyone, by the way.

I understand that you just became aware of it. I was simply pointing out that it has been common knowledge for months if not longer.

Police State.
Current group of Muppets running the country is suicidal. I would love to see the backlash they would receive if there were ever a case of an American being denied re-entry due to an expired passport.

Surely that has already happened?
