Frequently Asked Questions
Q.
Will I need to renew my passport?
A.
Possibly, check the date that your passport expires.
When travelling in or to the EU after 31st October 2019, the UK government recommends that you have six months left on your passport on the date of your arrival to an EU country. You should also check when your passport was renewed.
If you renewed a 10-year adult passport before it expired, extra months may have been added to your passport's expiry date. The UK Government indicated that these extra months over 10 years would not count towards the 6 months that must be remaining.
The UK government has published a website tool to check the validity of your passport under these rules. Full details on renewing your passport can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/renew-adult-passport/renew.
