Passport Q

Hi - does anyone know if you have to have 6 months left on your passport to visit Bulgaria, just realised my Sons expires in June and we are due out in Feb ???

Cheers for any advice !

re: Passport Q

A couple of years ago someone on our flight seem to be having trouble they didn't have 6 months left and phone calls were going on to see if he would be accepted went right down to finding out they would let him at the departure gate, but I wouldn't risk it
We might be doing as late deal feb/march and my passport expired Aug so I've renewed mine done express at post office only took 1 week.

re: Passport Q

Have just renewed mine and it clearly states that you need to have 6mths left on passport on return date to uk...if you renew before expiry they add the remaining mths on
