6 months on passport?

[*jovi_girl*]

The tui woman was quite insistent, even called her senior over so I showed the website to say it wasn’t needed.

Before that when she kept saying I needed 6 months and I told her she was wrong, I said don’t worry I’ll risk it

Tui don't know poop about much I've always found. But the fact that they insist they know when they don't it very bad. I wouldn't use them again I use the local TA (who book me a Tui holiday)

Are you flying with tui? It's maybe *their* rule. If so I would double check. If your flying with another airline I don't think I'd worry.

So efficiently passports will be valid for 9 years 6 months after brexit.

Not if you are going to the US as they don't have the 6 months rule

Hi Jovi - glad you stuck to your guns Duchy is a former TA and knows pp requirements for US travel. She dealt with a family for their US visit and confirmed they had sufficient time on their pp's and sent them happily on their way. Her supervisor said she was wrong and to ring the family and advise they'd all need new pp's, she refused stating the law, so the supervisor rang and incorrectly told this family they'd have to pay for new pp's. Many TA's use their company 'cop out', a 'blanket 6 month rule' for all countries.

It's not hard to educate oneself re official rulings, takes a few mins to Google the UK.Gov website and the CBP Six Month Rule pdf, yet many continue to deny official rulings! Hubs had circa 6 weeks pp validity upon return from the US last May, neither the UK or US batted an eyelid.

That’s just scaremongering. You will be checked in by a ground agent such as Swissair who knows the rules, not a TUI rep.
If you did recheck with them they will say six months, so totally pointless.

yes... but not just to visit - also includes to transit... Dublin, Iceland etc included -

so... people will have to watch out for that IF we leave the EU, IF it is with no deal, IF they are travelling indirect via an EU country or Schengen area - AND - IF they have less than 6 months left on their passport.

That is pretty much the only scenario for possible requirement for 6 months left on passport for travel to the US (caveat being you hold a UK passport of course).
