Turns out my sister-in-law had better weather in Mallorca this winter than I did in India. So that got me reaching for the spring travel brochures……and that’s when I noticed the Brexit warnings for booking European trips.<\/p>\n

So what should you be aware of?<\/h2>\n

There is a Government website that offers advice for British passport holders if the UK leaves the EU without a deal. It is entitled\u00a0“Passport rules for travel to Europe after Brexit”<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0Basically you need to check your passport will be valid before you book your trip to Europe.<\/p>\n

After 29 March 2019:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You should have at least 6 months left on your passport from your date of arrival. This applies to adult and child passports.<\/li>\n
  2. If you renewed a passport before it expired, up to 9 extra months may have been added to your new passport\u2019s expiry date. Any extra months on your passport over 10 years may not count towards the 6 months that should be remaining for travel to most countries in Europe.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The webpage stresses do not book travel unless your passport meets the entry requirements<\/span> of the country you\u2019re travelling to.<\/p>\n

    The government also has another useful website,\u00a0Check a passport for travel to Europe,<\/a>\u00a0that offers a tool to check you have enough time left on your UK passport.<\/p>\n
