How long will my passport need to be valid for when I travel?

The required passport validity depends on your destination country.

For EU and Schengen zone countries your passport must:

• Not be older than 10 years on the day you enter your holiday destination (check the 'date of issue')
• Have at least 3 months validity remaining on the day you leave your holiday destination (check the 'expiry date')

For non-EU and Schengen zone destinations:

• Requirements vary and can require up to 6 months validity
• Check the FCDO Travel Advice website for specific country requirement

For more information:

• Visit the HM Passport Office
• Check the FCDO travel advice website

For all other nationalities: Please check with your country’s embassy and passport office.

It's your responsibility to ensure that your travel documents are valid for your destination.

TUI only follows official government guidelines and rules for passport validity. If your passport doesn’t meet these rules, you won’t be allowed to board your flight.
