Coco Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Did you know that a 10 year passport is only valid in the EU for 9 years 9 months? And in the rest of the world for 9 years 6 months? So why is it called a ten year passport?A friend who recently went to the UK for five days was advise that she only had 4 months to run on her passport. Fine she said, so I have 4 months, I'm only coming over for 5 days. "Ahhh, but in a month's time we couldn't have let you in" was the reply. So why do we have to pay for a ten year passport? If you bought a 2 hour parking ticket you wouldn't expect to get a ticket after 1 hour 50 minutes!!Coco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiny Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 having just renewed our 10 year passports, the official version is that you have to renew with 6 months remaining but when the new ones arrived they had 10 years and 6 months validation on so you do not loose out.regards quin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
