6 Months Left On Passport Spain?
The passport will always need to be valid three months beyond the expected stay in the country. Before booking a trip, not just to Spain but to any country within the Schengen Area, it is a good idea to check the passport validity.
Can I travel to Spain with 6 months left on my passport?
Passport validity – If you are planning to travel to an EU country (except Ireland), or Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Andorra, Monaco, San Marino or Vatican City, you must follow the Schengen area passport requirements. Your passport must be:
- issued less than 10 years before the date you enter the country (check the ‘date of issue’)
- valid for at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave (check the ‘expiry date’)
You must check your passport meets these requirements before you travel. If your passport was issued before 1 October 2018, extra months may have been added to its expiry date. Contact the embassy of the country you are visiting if you think that your passport does not meet both these requirements. Renew your passport if you need to.
