How long must you have left on your passport before you travel to France?

Answer 1

Your passport must be valid for the proposed duration of your stay. No additional period of validity beyond this is required. However, it is always sensible to have a short period of extra validity on your passport in case of any unforeseen delays to your departure. You do not have to wait until your old passport expires to apply to renew it. Any time left on your old passport when you apply will be added to your new passport, up to a maximum of nine months.

Answer 2

It depends on your nationality.

Citizens of other EU and Schengen countries do not need any time left on their passports.

Citizens of other countries normally need a passport which is valid for 3 months after the date they intend to leave the Schengen area.

Answer 3

Answer 5

You have to have one or two days more than the complete trip.

Let's say the trip there takes 12 hours and the trip back the same. That counts as one day. Then you'll stay there for two days. Then that's three days. You'll have to have either four or five days left.

If the trip there takes five hours and the trip back the same, then those ten still count as one day. As long as it's more than eight hours, it counts as a day.

Or, some places, you have to count in the amount of time it takes to get a new passport. Approximately two or three more days. Then you'll have to have seven or eight days. Just to be safe, make sure you have one and a half week or at least nine days left on your passport.
