Passport validity
If you're planning to travel to an EU country, you must follow the Schengen area passport requirements. Your passport must be:
- issued less than 10 years before the date you enter the country (check the 'date of issue')
- valid for at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave (check the 'expiry date')
You must check your passport meets these requirements before you travel. If your passport was issued before 1 October 2018, extra months may have been added to its expiry date. Passport, visa and health requirements at the time of booking can be viewed on the FCDO website
