“This passport won’t get you into Malaysia.”
“What does that mean? My passport’s not expired… is it?”
The ticketing agent wasn’t letting me on my flight, so I was hoping there was just a misunderstanding.
“No, it doesn’t expire until next month. But you can’t enter Malaysia unless your passport is good for three months after you arrive.”
I have to admit, I didn’t know that.
I turned to my assistant S.D. “How come no one said anything about this to us?”
“Well, I asked the organizers of the Anti-Aging conference. They connected me to an official who told me, ‘As long as your passport is good at the time, you’re OK. The worst that could happen is they’d send you home. There shouldn’t be any problem.’”
Turns out, the official S.D. spoke with was wrong.
