Travelling within the EU on UK passport expiring in 1 month

Travelling within the EU on UK passport expiring in 1 month - Crop unrecognizable person demonstrating British passport

I am travelling to France and Spain via road on 31st August 2019 and returning on 13th September 2019. I shall be entering France via Folkstone/Dover customs either with eurotunnel or a ferry. My UK passport expires on 3rd October.

My question is will I be allowed to enter France and Spain with my passport having such a short validity date and with brexit looming?



Best Answer

As long as the UK remains a member of the EU, you can do this. The Schengen area has a requirement that passports be valid for three months beyond the anticipated departure, but this does not apply to passports from EU or Schengen countries.
