Many people travelling abroad are being caught out by not having valid passports. It seems simple enough to check your passport before going on holiday, but loads of people are being turned away this year, unable to board flights or even lose their holiday!
A reminder, it’s not just enough for your passport to be in date at the time you travel.
If you’re travelling abroad, check now that on the day you enter the country, your passport has at least 6 months left on it, or 3 months if you’re going to the EU.
If you have a couple of years left on your passport and your passport is well under 10 years, you’re fine. Don’t worry. But if you’re getting close to those barriers that I’ve just mentioned – the six months or three months in the EU left on the passport, or that your passport is going to be over 10 years old – then just do a check now of what your specific country’s passport requirements are.
