passport question

[thequeensnose]

Just having a bit of a panic and hoping for some reassurance!

My son’s (6yrs) passport expires on 26 march 2026. we are due to travel to Gran Canaria in a couple of weeks, returning on 25th august. Is this okay?

im confused about the 3/6 month rule

TIA

Yes it’s fine, you’ll have seven months left on it on your return date.

Well that’s seven months away so you will be absolutely fine.

You need 3 months remaining when leaving gran canaria so it's valid for travel
