How long does a passport last?

A friend of mine is looking into getting a passport, and is hoping to visit me towards the beginning of next year. However, we don't know how long a passport will allow him to stay over. As well, will he be able to seek work while here? He wants to stay for about 6 months, but, if the passport won't allow travel for that long, what can we do instead? Thank you in advance for your answers. I'm truly appreciative.

Answer:
An American passport has basically two types, child and adult. The children's version only lasts 5 years, while the adult one lasts 10. Every country is different, and if you are referring to another country's passport rules, it would be best to Google for that country's passport agency or look at the agency's website. Ultimately, a quick call to the foreign ministry will usually yield the information you are looking for.
ten years
this depends where the friend is coming from, most only last 6 months for a visitors entry into the UK. If longer is required than application should be made to a British Embassy.
It expires ten years after it is issued. Five, if it is a minor's passport.
uk one ten years.
For an ault its 10yers and for a minor its 5 years each time the passport renews until the minor is 15 years of age.

If you visit the passport site (link below) it will give you a lot of information which a person should know and would be helpful in using his passport abroad.
