Petition Action

Clarify rules around passports and travel to the EU. 10 year rule and overlap.

Petition Details

The UK government mysteriously claims that for some Schengen countries your passport may need to be less than 10 years old during your whole visit, and the three months at the end of your visit "" need to be within 10 years of your passport’s issue date. Therefore issued 9 years and 9 months ago!

Additional Information

Clarify the position so thousands of hard working brits are not sent away from an airport and losing thousands of pounds in the process due to wrong advice by airport staff. The word "may" it should be a yes or no answer!
