Agreed, for SXM, a passport that is valid through the date of travel is good enough. HOWEVER, if you plan on visiting Anguilla or St. Barts or some other island, you need to double-check THEIR laws.

OK, then you need to get those passports renewed before you go, to make sure there are no issues.

When one is flying into Sint Maarten, the rules will be totally different than flying into St. Martin and St. Barts. One needs to understand that most people fly into Sint Maarten, which has different rules than St. Martin and St. Barts.

The original question had to do with the passport having to be valid more than six months after your trip. I THINK that I read that if you arrive into St. Martin or St. Barts, that the passport has to be valid 6 months past your trip. My point was that it's been established that if you fly into the Dutch side, and you never leave the island, you don't have to worry about the six month issue. However, if you leave the island, then there could be an issue, either on the island you go to, or if you come back into the French side.

Just to let everyone know, that our passport renewal took 2 weeks from the time they did the electronic check withdrawal to today when we received our passports. Now on to global entry....

Now on to global entry.... We were told January 2017 passports will be re vamped, chipped etc and renewal wait time will increase so plan ahead.
