Brexit Passport Rules: Key Facts for UK Travelers to Europe - Validity, Issue Dates, and Staying Within the 90/180 Day Limit

Since Brexit, UK travelers to the EU face stricter passport validity rules. Your passport must be issued within the last 10 years and have at least three months of validity remaining on your return date. This applies to most EU countries, Switzerland, Norway, and Iceland. Ignore outdated information and airline errors – these are the key facts to ensure smooth travel. Remember the 90/180-day rule for stays within the Schengen Area, and note that Ireland has no passport validity limits for British visitors.
