sagi85 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) has set a deadline of the 24th November 2015 for globally phasing out all non-Machine Readable Passports (MRPs). From 25th November 2015 onwards, foreign Governments may deny visa or entry to any person travelling with a non-MRP passport. So if you return before Nov 25th you should be good!!
