🛂With peak travel season upon us are you sure you are passport ready?
So many travellers are still getting caught out at the check in desk!!

✈️ UK Passport Rules for Travel – Made Easy!

If you’re going on holiday to Europe (or elsewhere), your passport needs to meet two very important rules:

⸻

🛂 1. The 10-Year Rule
• Your passport must be less than 10 years old when you enter the country.

• Even if it says it hasn’t expired yet, check the ‘issue date’ (the date it was made).

• Add 10 years to that issue date.
• If you’re flying after that 10-year mark, your passport is not valid – even if the expiry date looks OK!

⸻

⏳ 2. The Expiry Date Rule
• Your passport must be valid for at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave the country.

⸻

❗ Some countries need 6 months left
• A few places (outside the EU – like Turkey, Thailand, Dubai) may need your passport to have 6 months left before it expires when you arrive.
• Always check the rules for the specific country you’re visiting.
👉 https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/foreign-commonwealth-development-office

⸻

🧳 Example

You want to travel to Spain on 1st August 2025 and leave on 10th August 2025.

✅ Your passport must:
• Be issued after 1st August 2015
• Expire after 10th November 2025

⸻

🚫 What if it doesn’t meet the rules?
• You might not be allowed to board your flight
• You could be refused entry when you arrive

⸻

✅ What to do:
• Check your passport now – look at the issue date and expiry date
• If it’s close to the limit, renew it early – don’t risk it!

There are plenty of online passport date checkers available, and they can be useful tools. However, we always recommend checking the official FCDO (Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office) website for the country you’re visiting, as it provides the most accurate and up-to-date travel advice. #
