UK PASSPORT RENEWALS

[Prakhonchai Nick]

Probably the best thread for this piece of news.

Until recently, when a UK passport was renewed early, either because it was full, or one needed 6 months validity, up to 9 months unused time was added to your new passport.

This is no longer the case.The rules apparently changed last Monday.

I assume the same rules apply in letting any f**ker to enter and remain in the UK?

Just out of interest, is UK one of the countries that require a minimum of six months validity on the passport prior to being allowed to enter. (Or is it permission to leave? - Or leave to stay?)

Minimum 6 month validity on entry date to LoS

Not by my understanding. Need enough time on your passport to cover your visa type for Thailand.

Many countries stipulate that, although I cannot quote which.

I read this "Clients must have a valid passport and valid visa when they board their flight and when they enter Australia. However as a general rule the travel industry recommend that your passport is valid for at least 6 months as some airlines and some countries have a 6 month rule."

Cambodia does require 6 months. I have know those that were refused entry.

Funnily enough, Old Colin travelled to Cambodia (flying) with a passport that was only valid for about 10 days. It ran out whilst he was there and he had to obtain a "temporary travel permit" in order to get out. Obviously a "one-off".

Apparently it's easy to get away with stuff like that when you're 84 years old with senile dementia. It won't happen again - he died last year.

55 took four year for someone to be bothered!

Did you ever think that you were destined for a different career?

Shadow Home Secretary perhaps?
