Passport
There was a news item the other day about a woman who was stopped from boarding a flight because her passport was more than 10 years old. The problem was that it still had 9 months before its expiry date because she'd changed her name when she got married and the passport office had added on the nine months. Apparently it changed with Brexit. So we checked our passports. Mine has the expiry date 10 years from the issue date but my wife, who renewed hers 6 months before it ran out, has one which has an expiry date 10 years and 6 months from the issue date.

Re: Passport
EU recognise 10 years validity from issue date, only, for travellers from third countries. There have been many, many articles about it.
The numpty was correct.
Brexit benefits...sunlit uplands...taking back control.

Re: Passport
Whoever set the 10 year recognition rule within the EU was a numpty. And was ultimately the person that stopped her from traveling.
Plus, I personally would not be happy working as a minion that imposed stupid, petty and nonsensical rules on other people.
It's why I would never be a traffic warden, for example.

The UK helped to write and approve the 'third country' rules when it was a member of the EU.Lindsayt wrote: ↑Fri Jul 29, 2022 3:12 pm Whoever set the 10 year recognition rule within the EU was a numpty. And was ultimately the person that stopped her from traveling.

Re: Passport
It wasn't me that wrote those rules. And it wasn't the woman that got turned back.

The UK is not exempt from having numpties in governmental decision making roles.

Re: Passport
The UK has never been part of the Schengen zone of free transit - which does have the rule: The passport should have been issued within the last 10 years
So - nothing has changed at all.
Britain has always had total control over its own immigration policies, but being no longer an EU member-state means that travel from/to the EU is subject to more stringent checking.
Which is what you voted for ....

Re: Passport
People also voted for "Blue" passports, which we could have produced at any time as their colour was not something set in stone by the EU. Johnson & co failed to mention that though, like many other things, and nobody listened to "us" as we were "Project Fear" at the time and less trustworthy than Satan Himself.
