Hi i am travelling from birmingham uk to majorca & was wondering how long you have to have on ur passport?

Question

me hubby and children are flying out on 23 sept 08 and come back early hours on 1st oct. my passport runs out 17 april 09 which gives me 7 months left on my passport is this ok...

Answer 1

I was told 6 months by the passport office  

Answer 2

why in the hockey section?

Answer 3

If your passport is valid, it is valid.

You often hear about this six months thing, espacially from package holiday companies but what the basis for it is I do not know but it creates a wrong impression. A passport is valid for travel for ten years, not nine years six months.

Answer 4

If you are travelling to any EU country with a British passport your passport only needs to be valid until the day you return.

If you are travelling outside the EU, most countries require your passport to be valid for at least six months, but as Majorca is within the EU you will be OK.

Answer 5

dont put an ampersand (&) in your question and you'll probably get more responses, b/c you wont be in the hockey section.

Answer 6

i believe its 6months you have to have but don't quote me but i remeber when i went to majorca in oct last year i had 9 months and someone mentioned if i had 6months or less i might not be allowed to fly but it all depends i think on the country you are going to try going to
