New passport and can I travel instantly?
Im a British citizen and receiving my new passport tomorrow. It had 2 months left on the passport but had to renew because it wasnt enough to travel to europe. Are those 2 months added onto my new passport? Im seeing places say it does and other say it doesnt.
If it doesnt add any months. Can I travel instantly? Well the next day? Im receiving the british adult passport. Thank you.
Best Answer
You can travel as soon as you receive your passport.
Assuming they are still adding months at the end, then your new passport might have an expiry date in March 2032, rather than January 2032. Although it will be valid as far as the UK is concerned, other countries may treat it as only being valid for 10 years, to some date in January 2032.
