UK passport holders - If you are travelling from the UK to the EU, the UK government recommend you have 6 months left on your passport, the minimum 3 months validity required from the date that you return plus up to 90 days to travel without a visa. Even if it has more than 6 months left, your passport must be less than 10 years old. Full requirements can be found on gov.uk.

Please note that all persons travelling must have appropriate documents to travel; a Livret de Famille will not be accepted by border controls.
