Visa/ passport validity

[sue mac]

Pmsl!! Sorry KKOB.....iTS bloody predictive text.....you know i would never call you that!!   Lol....gave me a giggle this mornings that one.      Still in a predicament.   Talking to so many people who have Walked into THE country with one or two months left on passport with no problem at all....oh decisions decisions...i had not applied for passport as i thought we would be fine until december when iT runs out! Never realised there was this stupid 6 month validity rule!

Yep. It applies to most countries. Some enforce it, others aren't too bothered.

If I'm reading it correctly one will now require 8 months on your passport rather than 6 months as before. If you apply for a visa it will have 180 days validity, they now say you have to have an extra 60 days on your passport after the expiry date of your visa.

It looks that way, but who knows, it will probably change again soon.
