Summary
If you’re planning a summer trip to Europe, your passport could be your biggest travel hurdle. Over a million UK passports may not meet Schengen entry rules—your passport must be issued within the last 10 years and valid for at least three months after your return. A loophole from before 2018 left hundreds of thousands with technically valid but non-compliant passports. Plus, 2.37 million more are set to expire by 2026. Don’t assume “valid” means “good to go”—double-check your dates now to avoid denied boarding and ruined holidays.
