The item described is the passport expiry date—the date until which the passport remains valid. This field matters because travel requirements often mandate that a passport be valid for a certain period beyond the travel dates. Recording the expiry date on the General Declaration helps verify that the passenger’s passport will stay valid for the duration of the trip and any entry requirements.

The issue date shows when the passport was issued, not how long it will be valid. Passport class refers to the type of passport (such as ordinary, service, or diplomatic) and does not indicate when the passport expires. A visa number is tied to a visa and is separate from the passport’s validity period.
