Passport control in france?

Question

Thinking of going to france in about 2wks time,my passport runs out on the 30th july 2007 i wonder if anyone knows how much time you have to have left on a uk passport to allow you to enter france and then come back a week later?

On this trip by coach you defo: gets stopped and checked

Answer 1

EU destination should be fine. Be a different story if you were going to the States. The US used to insist on 6 months minimum remaining on a passport.

Answer 2

I know what you mean, but I don't think there is any restriction to the length of time a passport has left to run for a British ciizen visiting an EU country.

Answer 3

Passports: Passport valid for three months beyond length of stay required by all, except:

1. nationals of EU countries, Andorra, Liechtenstein, Monaco, San Marino and Switzerland holding valid national ID cards.

So by all accounts, if you are British, you are fine!

Answer 4

Sorry don't understand what the problem here is. You are going in 2 weeks time, staying for one week and your passport ends in July 2007.

So you leave and are back in the UK by the end of March.

Answer 5

Think its 3 months.

Did you know you can go to a post office and get them to fill out the forms for 7 pounds  and you get it back within fourteen days guaranteed .

I did it the other week got them to fill out the form on Tuesday and unbelievably the new passport was there on Thursday same week.
