Question

Can you tell me if you can use a passport to go on holiday to Spain when it expires in 5 months time?

Answer 1

As long as your back before it expires!!

Answer 2

Your passport is valed for 5 years after it expires!

Answer 3

In my experience, you will be questioned about that since there's less than 6 months vaildity. However, as long as you can show proof of onward voyage (return ticket) that show's you'll leave before it expires, you should be okay.

But if I were you I'd renew it just to avoid any unforeseen headaches and immigration officers who like to give hardtimes.

Answer 4

You would need to contact a Spanish consulate to determine if Spain is on the six month law or find their website

Answer 5

only if it dose not expire well you are there.

you can renew passports before they expire but your best to get that done soon if you get the post office to check it over for a small fee it will get back to you usually within a month.

Answer 6

Course you can

Answer 7

I would ask your travel agent.

Or (to be certain) you could ring the Spanish Embassy in your country or your own immigration department.

Answer 8

unfortunately not. your passport must be valid for six months from the day you return to the uk. otherwise, they won't accept it. x

Answer 9

Yes providing your stay is not longer than the expiry date you must renew it on your return though.

Have a good holiday!!!!

Answer 10

you have to have six months left on your passport now, so id get a new one quick....

Some overseas countries have an immigration requirement for a passport to remain valid for a minimum period after entry to that country. The holding of a British passport does not exempt the holder from complying with these requirements. If your passport is in its final year of validity, you are advised to check the requirements of the country of destination before you make your final travel plans. Any questions should be addressed to their consulate or embassy. Your travel agent willl also be able to give you advice on this matter

Answer 11

Yes its still in date but when you get back I would renew it as its better to have 6 months +  on.

Answer 12

get a new one

Answer 13

you would be very wise to renew your passport before you go.

Answer 14

dont chance it get a new one before you leave!  enjoy

Answer 15

Yes but do not overstay cos UK will not let you back in!

Answer 16

You definitely can, but you have to come back before it expires or get a new one in your country's embassy in Spain.

Answer 17

I believe so as long as you enter and leave Spain before your passport expires.

Answer 18

Some countries have an immigration requirement for a passport to remain valid for a minimum period (usually at least six months) beyond the date of entry to the country. Therefore, ensure your passport is in good condition and valid for at least 6 months at the date of your return. This is a requirement of the country concerned, not the UK Passport Service. Any questions should be addressed to their Consulate or Embassy.

May be an idea to check because if they require 6 months validity, you could be refused entry.

Answer 19

As long as you've returned before your 150 days have run out!

And renew on your return home!!
