People planning a holiday abroad this summer are being urged to check a crucial detail on their passport that could see them caught out.Passports are typically valid for five or 10 years, meaning that it can be all too easy to forget about checking the expiry date.

However, most countries have strict rules about passport expiry dates that could see travellers denied entry to their dream destination.If your passport expires within six months of the date you’re planning to travel, it may mean that you have to renew it before your holiday.

The majority of countries won’t consider a passport valid for entry if it has less than six months’ validity left on it.This rule means that your passport has to have at least six months’ validity left before it expires at the time you’re planning to travel.
