rwing93 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Once you are issued the COE how long is it valid for? Does it have to be used within a certain amount of days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarontendo Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Isn't it issued for a specific date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 It issued for the day you are starting your trip to here. After that day is no longer valid. If you changes flights you have to contact the embassy or official consulate that issued it to get a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorTom Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Its valid for a specific day/flight as mentioned. If your flight is delayed or cancelled there is a 72 hour window the same COE can be used. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
