passport problem

Flying out on 13th for week, just discovered our sons passport expires 29th april does anyone know will we be able to use this passport or will he require a new one.

Kas thanks so much for your updates much appreciated we will look out for you in the titanic.

Hi Mikey J

Passports must be valid for 3 months beyond period of intended stay - so for your son, his passport needed to be valid up until at least 20th May if you are leaving on the 20th Feb.

Sorry, that's probably not what you wanted to hear, but the positive news is that a. you realised in time rather than en route to the airport (!) and b. it is still snowing!!

See you next week!

re: passport problem

Check out this link, I use it for work travel all the time, so I am pretty sure it is 3 months validity but others may know different. A

re: passport problem

My friends daughters passport was out a month after travelling to Bulgaria. She rang the embassy before she went and they said it was not a problem. She didn't have any problems travelling with her. Hopefully you will be O.K.
