Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the guidance is on time left on passports for travel to the EU after the UK leaves the EU.

Our guidance relating to the changes to the rules for travel to Europe is in the event that the UK leaves the European Union without a deal. If the UK leaves the EU with no deal we advise that:

1. You should have at least 6 months left on your passport from your date of arrival. This applies to adult and child passports

2. If you renewed a passport before it expired, up to 9 extra months may have been added to your new passport’s expiry date. Any extra months on your passport over 10 years may not count towards the 6 months that should be remaining for travel to most countries in Europe.
