What to do if my UK Passport expired while I’m overseas

Rules for travelling with a soon-to-be #expired #passport
People can often forget to check the #expiration date on their #passports before travelling, assuming that as long as it’s in date then they will be fine. However, a lot of #countries still need a certain amount of time on a passport before they allow you in. Find out whether you can travel when your passport is about to expire with our handy guide.

How long should you have left on your passport?

Many people pack their bags for a #holiday or #business trip with just a casual glance at their passport #expiration date, but if it’s due to expire you may be refused entry. While most countries such as #Australia, #Canada and the #USA, just need your passport to be valid for the length of your stay, other countries such as #China, #Thailand, #Egypt and #Turkey need at least six months. Always check the specific entry requirements for the country you are visiting on the GOV.UK website. You should make sure that your passport meets the following rules:

The passport issue date is less than 10 years before day of arrival in the #EU

The passport expiry date is at least three months after intended day of departure from EU

In general, many countries that require a visa to enter will require at least six months validity on your passport when entering the country, so make sure you find out whether your passport has long enough before it expires before you travel.

How do I find out how long I need on my passport?
The best way to find out if your passport is valid for travel to certain countries is to check the Travel Adviceopens in new window section of the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (#FCO) website. Choose the country you’re visiting, before clicking on ‘Entry requirements’ and scrolling down to ‘Passport validity’.
