contents This paper investigates the exit-time problem for time-inhomogeneous diffusion processes. The focus is on the small-noise behavior of the exit time from a bounded positively invariant domain. We demonstrate that, when the drift and diffusion terms are uniformly close to some time-independent functions, the exit time grows exponentially both in probability and in $L_1$ as a parameter that controls the noise tends to zero. We also characterize the exit position of the time-inhomogeneous process. Additionally, we investigate the impact of relaxing the uniform closeness condition on the exit-time behavior. As an application, we extend these results to the McKean-Vlasov process. Our findings improve upon existing results in the literature for the exit-time problem for this class of processes.
