Have you ever been in a situation where you want to go on a vacation abroad, but your passport is about to expire and is currently being renewed?

You might have heard that international flights require passengers to have a passport with a minimum validity of 6 months before the departure date.

If you find yourself in a situation where your passport is about to expire, don't worry! Put aside all your worries for now. The good news is, you can still plan your international trip while your passport renewal is in progress.

With Traveloka, you can book international flight tickets in advance while waiting for your passport renewal to be completed. The process is simple! Later on, you can update your passport details on the e-ticket once you receive your new passport.

There is only one thing to keep in mind, though. You can only change passport details if the passenger's name on the e-ticket matches the name on the new passport.
