Passport requirements

[Will.]

So I'm going to Italy on Sunday and my passport runs out like Mid august, I will be back in like the 2nd August, should this be ok?

[hijaxers]

Probably fine but if its a 10 year passport i think you can apply to have it extended.

[_Tom_]

I think you answered your own question :laugh:

[LukeB]

If your passport runs out after the 2nd august you should be okay, but get a new one when you get back its not needed but its better to get it done then rather stressing about it in the future.

[Vicky.]

It will be fine up until the day it actually expires

[Will.]

That's a relief, thanks all.

I thought your passport had to be in date by sixth months?

DEPORT HA

[Jack.]

I thought your passport had to be in date by sixth months?

Yeah I was sure it was 6 months aswell.

[reece(:]

I'm sure it's 6 months for visa destinations

[LukeB]

• That you need 6 months of validly on your passport to travel anywhere outside the UK (Not True)

Most travel agents will often tell you that you need to have 6 months worth of validity on your current UK Passport, but this is only true for those travelling outside of Europe to the Middle East & Asia. If you are unsure there is an easy way to check the validity entry requirements for the country you are travelling to:

Will you will be fine.

This is for places such as USA where you need a visa

What would be the point in it being unable to be used 6 months before expiry date for everywhere...whats the point of an expiry date if thats not the case :p

[Jack.]

I'm thinking of renewing my passport any idea how long it normally takes to come back after sending it back?
