Hola all I read that people with in-date UK passports have been sent home in the UK
with a few years left to run as the passport is classed as invalid after britex
is this correct I have six years left on my UK passport
I asked about a new Spanish one to be told my UK one is valid Help
Dave
Your passport is not 'invalid' after Brexit.
However since Brexit your passport MIGHT run out before the date printed on the passport.
Your passport needs to have at least 6 months left on it to be valid for travel to Spain.
Go to this UK Government website to check your when your passport does actually run out.

Please calm down, as things are certainly not as bad as you may think. Roland has posted a very helpful link, but rest assured, things are not as bad as you might have initially thought.
All the best

That's 6 months from the ISSUE date when you leave any Schengen country.
If you travel from Spain to another EU/Shengen country it will be the date you re-enter the UK.

Hi Dave
follow that link Roland has helpfully supplied and enter your details. We did so with a link from a previous poster and mine was 9 months different and my wife’s 18months different between what was stated on our passports and what date the UK government website said !
