boucharda--No, the FACTS are that Sint Maarten only requires the passport to be valid at the time of travel. That is the way that it has always been. And bbeach--that is incorrect. Never has been required that the US required a passport to be valid for 6 months after you return. That is BS.

Some other countries require a passport to be valid for 6 months after entry, but not Sint Maarten and definitely NOT the US.
