Until the new United Kingdom (United Kingdom), passport holders can travel freely within the European Union (EU) with valid travel documents.

From the beginning of next year, the requirement to travel to the countries of the EU and the European Economic Area (EEA) will require at least six months before the British passport expires.

It is true that the above requirement does not apply when traveling to Ireland.

Every year the UK Passport Service issues 5 million passports, most of them valid for 10 years, but overseas travel rules, which come into effect next year, could imprison up to 2.5 million people. people whose British passports are still valid but for less than half a year.

Additionally, a large number of passport renewal applications have already been submitted this year, with at least 400,000 applications pending processing.
