"When travelling to Europe, Brits need to make sure their passport was issued less than 10 years before the date of entry, and that it's valid for at least three months after the planned date of departure from the EU. This is crucial to remember because previously, UK passports could be issued with up to 10 years and nine months ' validity, but EU rules now only recognise the 10-year limit from the issue date."
"While UK travellers don't need a visa for a short stay of up to 90 days in Europe, those looking to go on longer trips need to check the entry requirements for the country they're visiting and obtain an appropriate travel permit. Avid travellers collecting stamps in their passports need to also ensure they have at least two blank passport pages remaining, otherwise the document could be seen as invalid. The experts also urge travellers to ensure their passports are in good physical condition, as damage to the cover, pages or the chip, could lead to delays or even refusal at the border. Parents travelling with children should be especially mindful, as a child's passport is only valid for five years."
"We urge holidaymakers to carry out essential passport checks now to avoid last-minute hassle and potentially being turned away at the airport. Post-Brexit travel changes are still confusing for many of us, so it's important for Brits to familiarise themselves with the validity requirements"
The new EU Entry/Exit System is expected to cause airport delays, prompting urgent passport checks. British travellers must ensure passports were issued less than 10 years before entry and remain valid for at least three months after planned departure from the EU due to changed recognition of issue-date validity. Short stays up to 90 days in Europe do not require a visa, but longer trips need appropriate permits per country rules. Travellers must have at least two blank passport pages, keep passports in good physical and chip condition, and note that child passports are valid for five years.
