Stupid passport question

6 replies

I'm being really stupid and I can't work out when I need to renew my passport if I want to travel from the UK to Europe.

It was issued Dec 16 and expires July 27.

I'm not sure of holiday dates so just trying to work out what's the earliest and latest I could renew.

Imagine it expires dec 2026. (10 years from when it was issued)

if you need 6 months on it then it basically expires in June 2026.

if you want to go on holiday after that you need a new passport. Before, you’re ok

Great. Thank you. I'll make a note to do it in the spring.

This isn't correct.

The latest date you could enter the EU would be December 2026.

You go by the actual expiry date when working out the 3 months remaining you require when leaving the EU.

@PotteringAlonggotkickedoutandhadtoreregister the info you have given is not correct.

Op needs the passport to be under 10 years old to enter the EU (look at issue date)
Op needs 3 months remaining when leaving the EU (look at expiry date)
