SOME other countries, possibly Anguilla or St. Barts, that you might visit from Sint Maarten might have such rules, but Sint Maarten does not. I don't know where these stories keep coming from.
Possibly because some airlines (looking at you American) post a blanket rule on their website that says passports must be valid for 6 months. I know that was enough for me to renew mine early rather than risk some overworked agent denying me boarding because they don’t understand the country specific rules.
