Question

My UK passport runs out a week after the return date of my holiday in Majorca. Will I be ok to use it?

Answer 1

you're living on the edge...

Answer 2

better to get a replacement, they will add the unused time onto your new one

Answer 3

You should be fine, they can't have any sensible problem with your passport if it only runs out some time after your return. It would be different if it ran out before or during your holiday.

Answer 4

Some countries will only let you in if you have a minimum of 6 months left on your passport.

Answer 5

YES.

Answer 6

You may not be allowed out of the UK or into Majorca as the normal requirement is either 3, 6, or 12 months depending on where in the world you are going to.

Get a replacement asap.

Answer 7

Nope, you should ring your nearest passport office.. here they don't let you travel on it 6 months before due date..

Answer 8

Spain is part of the Eu there should be no problem  check with the Spanish embassy if you feel the need, I have just been to Kenya with only 3 months on my passport so there are a lot of people that don't know what they are talking about  ( not let you out of England, rubbish)

Answer 9

They wont even let you out of the country with it.You will have to get a fast track re-issue passport or go to Brighton instead!

Answer 10

You run the risk of being turrned away when you get there. But more than likely they will never check.

Lifes a gamble!

Answer 11

there's no way you can travel - it has to be valid for 6 months from the travel date. you won't be allowed to fly from the UK itself. you best use emergency passport renewal service, using which you can get your renewed passport within a day! get to your local post office ASAP

Answer 12

Well, I would get my passport done

Answer 13

you officially need 6 months on it, but you could take the risk, or you can travel to certain destinations to get a passport in one day, but think it can cost up to £70, give passport office a ring .

Answer 14

You should be fine. I book people to Spain all the time and is ok as long as the passport is valid for the duration of your visit...check with consulate page www.conspalon.org/indexeng.html which confirms what I'm saying. Enjoy your holiday...adios!

Answer 15

No you need at least 6 months left on your passport or they class it as not valid. Sort it out now or you will not be allowed to travel.

Answer 16

Yes, no problem at all.
