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

[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.

Yeah I was sure it was 6 months aswell.

[reece(:]

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

• 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

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

Why on earth not? We booked a holiday the day before the flight left and managed to get a week in benidorm for 4 people for 300 quid overall. Later you leave it, the better the deal is
