The rules have changed since Brexit
Millions of Britains will be planning to head abroad to enjoy the summer holidays - but they are being warned to check their passport expiry dates.
Graeme Buck, Director of Communications at ABTA the trade association for UK travel agents, tour operators and the wider travel industry, said: “ABTA’s message is don’t delay, check today. Most of our favourite European destinations, including Spain, France, Italy, Greece and Portugal, now have different passport validity requirements for British passport holders.
“The reason behind the three months is that the EU wants to avoid the presence in its territory of people with an expired passport, in cases when a traveller either decides to prolong their stay in the EU, or are forced to do so due to circumstances.” You can renew your passport online which costs £82.50 or by post for £93. You will need your existing passport and a digital photograph to renew online.
