Beware all you holiday makers!!Apparently if we leave the EU without a deal, on 29th of March, you will need at least 6 months on your passport to travel in the EU.Worse still if you carried some months over, when you last renewed, you may need up to 15 months left in order to travel.This info is from todays I newspaper. Full details on the Home Office website.https://www.gov.uk/guidance/passport-rules-for-travel-to-europe-after-brexit
https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/italy/entry-requirementsWe renewed our passports over the christmas period. They were due to expire anyway. Very difficult getting a home done photo past their online application. We ended up going to a photo shop in town to get a digital code with some mug shots.Gangan
loads of countries have the same rules. My friend is from Tanzania and went off to visit her family last year. She got to the airport and they would not let her fly as she only had 5 months left on her passport and it needed to be six which she had not realised. She lost her air fare etc and was really sad. She begged and pleaded and said she was only going for two weeks but she got nowhere.
Well I was shocked when I read the newspaper article, as I knew nothing about it. Went straight upstairs to check our passports as we are going on holiday in April. Luckily there is another 2 years 6 months to go on ours.
