Morning everyone, went for some Euros yesterday and luckily used my passport as ID. My passport expires in October 22 but was issued in February 12 and as a consequence of leaving the EU you now need 3months validity FROM the DATE of ISSUE.so my trippet is delayed for a week or so.At least I didn't find out at the airport tomorrow.:rolleyes::mad::rolleyes:
 
Ah yes, you're right. Sorry, took a while for the penny to drop :(
I've just rechecked Kermie,it must be less than 10 years old on the date of entry see date of issue and have three months left on the date of departure to return home,see valid till date. Mine was 10years old on the 21/2 /12 so I would have been ok if I went last week.;):rolleyes:
 
Thought it had changed, they always were 10yrs, as the expiration date stayed the same and think you could apply 9 months early, now if you apply early the expiration is 10yrs from when you apply, so it is never 10yrs, good increased income generator

That was due to an EU ruling, nothing to do with the UK tax grabbers.
