Holidaymakers travelling to Spain this summer have been given updated passport advice from the UK Foreign Office.
Anyone entering the Schengen area must have a passport issued less than 10 years before their arrival date and valid for at least three months after their departure date. These requirements can be checked against the "date of issue" and "expiry date" sections of the photo page.
The Foreign Office states that people should contact the Spanish embassy if they think their passport fails to meet either of these requirements. Out-of-date passports should be renewed as soon as possible.
