I'm going to Holland on the 13th of June until the 18th of June, but my Passport expires on the 5th of July. Will I be able to travel or will I need to get it renewed?

You may get refused as the passport may need to be valid for 6 months following your return.

Should be ok within the EU - if outside the EU it's another ball game.

You'll probably OD on cake so I wouldn't worry about it.

TBH, the US can be funny if you have less than 6 months left on your passport. For the effort it takes to get a fasttrack application through then it's worth just getting it sorted.

I had a similar issue and just got the application fast tracked and had no issue there.

I have similar.
Going on a Royal Caribbean cruise next week to Spain, France and Italy that returns on 14th June and my passport expires 21st June.

According to the Foreign Office, I am entitled to enter those countries no problem, however Royal Caribbean passport rules state they won't let me on the boat unless I have 6 months+. So guess I'll have to do a fast-track then.

1 day fast track, new passport, £114 in Liverpool. Hand it in, get a new one four hours later, or so the gurl on the phone tells me.

I plan to get one next time I'm home, as one of mine is damn near full.
