Can I travel El Salvador 1 day before my Canadian passport expires?

Hi, I'm canadian from birth, so I have a canadian passport. However, my parents are from El Salvador. So I guess I have the right to remain in El Salvador without passport if I show the inspector my birth certificate, or something.

I want to travel the 14 of july and arrive that same day to El Salvador and my passport expires the 15th.

Also, I'm buying a one way ticket because I need to get my Salvadoran papers and stuff, because I'm going to be livving there for a while.

Can anybody help me please?

    You have legal right to travel while your passport has not expired. Border patrol will definitely point out that your passport will expire next day. If you are adult you have to have a passport and showing Birth Certificate would not work. It would not be a smart step for you to do if you intend to go back to Canada some time. Unless you would be able to obtain a new passport through Canadian embassy while residing in El Salvador.

    Technically, particular, you could holiday till it expires. in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, it incredibly is particularly reducing it close, and does not enable for unplanned delays, ailment, twist of destiny, and so on. it would be a lot extra beneficial to resume the passport early! in case you're out of the U. S. whilst it expires, you will face diverse difficulty. "Expired" ability "expired", and being in basic terms an afternoon or 2 expired is in basic terms as expired as though for a month or 2 or a 365 days or 2 -- it incredibly is, close does not count selection. in case you think of delays in basic terms do no longer take place, incredibly whilst it incredibly isn't any longer wintry climate, bear in mind a pair of years in the past whilst all air area over Europe became closed via volcanic ash? human beings have been stranded throughout Europe for various days! The "6 months" requirement is one imposed with the help of excursion agencies and cruise lines.
