Passport validity requirements

Hi Martina,

This is a question we get asked a lot as there is so much conflicting evidence. The ruling from the Spanish Embassy in Madrid is that as long as the passenger has one month left on their passport and the expiry date is not before they leave the country then immigration will let them through.

Having said that, I know a number of people who have flown into Spain with literally a couple of weeks left on their passport but because they have been due to leave before the expiry date there have been no problems.

Hi just wondering if you can help me. My family and I are travelling to Ibiza July 4th for 10 days but my husband's passport expires in Oct. I am just wondering should we renew his passport or will it be ok to travel. I don't want to arrive at the airport with kids and be told we can't travel. We have tried a few places for answers but no success



Kind regards

Martina
