Blondi Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Hi, We're travelling to Croatia on 15th July and we'll be returning on the 22nd July, My youngest daughter's passport expires on 25th July, does anyone know if this is OK? My Mrs recently watched a programme with Martin Lewis and he said some countries, you may need to have 3 months or so left on your passport expiry date. Any help or advice would be much appreciated!

Site Supporter Spider Posted June 17, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted June 17, 2018 You’ll be ok You can prove you are travelling back within the timeframe. As EU member states, it’s ok. After Brexit, that will change in all likelihood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainmed Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Don’t risk it. Do express renewal via P.O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The potential problem is, if for whatever reason your daughter has to extend her stay. Bloke I used to work with and his wife went to Greece (i think) his wife's passport expired about 5 days after therefore flight.....no problem.....until he appendix burst a day before they came home, so she was in hospital for a few days and her passport expired whilst abroad. I think it was easily enough sorted, but it involved him having to travel to the Embassy to get it sorted out, and I think the nearest Embassy was miles away and involved an internal flight. As Captain Med says, just get a new passport before you travel, nice and easy then, if the worst does happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyldesley_white Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Get yourself to Liverpool and get a new passport, I believe you can now get an appointment time on line, and it will get it sorted right away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave2980 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Get yourself to Liverpool and get a new passport, I believe you can now get an appointment time on line, and it will get it sorted right away Why bother with Liverpool? He's not going for a month. He can complete an online renewal today and it'll most likely be sent out within a week. If took 5 days last time I renewed mine and its much cheaper to renew online. (about £80 versus £180 for the Liverpool appointment) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L/H White Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I read that some airlines are twaty about it to. I only had a month or so on mine when I went Cyprus two years ago..girl behind the counter started counting how many days I had left I'd renew it pal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted June 17, 2018 Moderators Share Posted June 17, 2018 True that airlines have their own rules Maybe they have to get you home if it expires No way Mrs casino would let me chance it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadRunnerFan Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) Renew it online. Mine took less than a fortnight. Get her pic taken somewhere where they do online codes with the passport office and you are laughing. You get a code to enter into your application and if everything else is the same it's dead easy, no need to go to Liverpool at all. Edit - as Dave as pointed out above.

If she gets stopped it's her problem, one less mouth to feed I'm sure you'll see her some time in the future so save a few quid and don't renew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ani Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Just renew it. It is not a bottle of milk that will go off after a week. It lasts 10 years renewing a month early is no hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
