Quotes
[12:39] - "The passport is your identity and your citizenship. It's like your birth certificate. A visa is advanced approval to enter a foreign country." - Rich Mandleur
[15:48] - "Six months is really a great rule of thumb. You should consider your passport expired six months prior to its actual expiration date, and you should renew it because most countries will not allow you to enter with a passport that is expiring in less than six months." - Rich Mandleur
[19:28] - "The electronic visa is where most countries are going. With COVID, I think that in large part, some of them are deciding to do this because they don't want hundreds of people queued up at the embassy or consulate applying for visas." - Rich Mandleur
