How do I know which countries my passport is valid in?

Q I plan on booking a trip to Peru in November 2022. So please ignore alarming but untrue assertions such as: “For practical purposes, your passport runs out nine years and nine months after the date it was issued.” Here’s a correct assertion: “For practical purposes, your passport runs out on its expiry date, but some countries demand that you have a period of validity left.” That’s all. You are covered by two sets of legislation: the Package Travel Regulations, which basically says you are entitled either to the holiday as booked or a full refund, and the air passengers’ rights rules which state that British Airways must find an alternative flight for you on your original day of travel if it possibly can. open image in gallery Stamp of approval: lack of space is not a valid reason to refuse entry to the EU Q My passport is full of stamps and I have no spare pages left. In any case, the lack of empty pages in a passport is not, in itself, a valid and sufficient ground to refuse the entry of a person.” So ignore misinformation on the subject – such as the warning from Eurostar to British passport holders: “Check that you have a clear page in your passport as it will need to be stamped with your travel date when you’re travelling to and from the EU.” For anyone travelling widely in Europe and beyond, the real problem will be that the accrued entry and exit stamps for the EU will rapidly fill up the passport – leaving insufficient space to satisfy frontier officials in other countries.
